Every man is born under the yoke, and grows up beneath the oppressions of his age. He can only get a vision of the unselfish forces in the world by appealing to them, and every appeal is a call to arms. If he fights he must fight, not one man, but a conspiracy. He is always at war with a civilization. On his side is proverbial philosophy, a galaxy of invisible saints and sages, and the half-developed consciousness and professions of everybody. Against him is the world, and every selfish passion in his own heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you hire people that are smarter than you are, you prove you are smarter than they are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15767]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you hire people that are smarter than you are, you prove you are smarter than they are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[, Freeze-Frame -Doc Childre. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9070]]></link><description><![CDATA[, Freeze-Frame -Doc Childre.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9070</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Running is one of the best solutions to a clear mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54576]]></link><description><![CDATA[Running is one of the best solutions to a clear mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is an admirable thing, but nothing that is worth knowing can be taught. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13561]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is an admirable thing, but nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gorgons, and Hydras, and Chimaeras dire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60881]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gorgons, and Hydras, and Chimaeras dire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An appeal to the reason of the people has never been known to fail in the long run. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53138]]></link><description><![CDATA[An appeal to the reason of the people has never been known to fail in the long run.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the light bulb is beginning to flicker, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29381]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the light bulb is beginning to flicker,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Common report is not always wrong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51661]]></link><description><![CDATA[Common report is not always wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Change is inevitable - except from a vending machine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5578]]></link><description><![CDATA[Change is inevitable - except from a vending machine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51892]]></link><description><![CDATA[As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2531]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We hope it shows ? yes these things are effective.

Unknown  Stop the mindless wishing that things would be different. Rather than wasting time and emotional and spiritual energy in explaining why we don't have what we want, we can start to pursue other ways to get it. •Greg Anderson   A man of the world must seem to be what he wishes to be thought. •Jean De La Bruyère   Wishes expand in direct proportion to the resources available for their gratification. •Robert Dato  A wish is a desire without an attempt. •Farmer Digest  Oh, the secret life of man and woman -- dreaming how much better we would be than we are if we were somebody else or even ourselves, and feeling that our estate has been unexploited to its fullest. •Zelda Fitzgerald  Men try to run life according to their wishes; life runs itself according to necessity. •Jean Toomer  Some people develop a wishbone where their backbone should be. •Anonymous  Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible. •St. Augustine   When you love someone all your saved-up wishes start coming out. •Elizabeth Bowen   Whoever, in middle age, attempts to realize the wishes and hopes of his early youth, invariably deceives himself. Each ten years of a man's life has its own fortunes, its own hopes, its own desires. •Goethe   Destiny grants us our wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God knows I loved my niece, And she is dead, slandered to death by villains,  That dare as well ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56552]]></link><description><![CDATA[God knows I loved my niece, And she is dead, slandered to death by villains,  That dare as well answer a man indeed   As I dare take a serpent by the tongue.    Boys, apes, braggarts, Jacks, milksops!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any child can tell you that the sole purpose of a middle name is so he can tell when he's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43657]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any child can tell you that the sole purpose of a middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who esteems the Virginia reel A bait to draw saints from their spiritual weal,  And regards the quadrille ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11038]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who esteems the Virginia reel A bait to draw saints from their spiritual weal,  And regards the quadrille as a far greater knavery   Than crushing His African children with slavery,    Since all who take part in a waltz or cotillon     Are mounted for hell on the devil's own pillion,      Who, as every true orthodox Christian well knows,       Approaches the heart through the door of the toes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will never try to develop a strategy that wins on price.
