We proclaimed you sound when you were foolish in order to avoid taking part in the long, slow, slogging effort that is the only route to genuine maturity of mind and feeling. Thus, it was no small anomaly of your growing up that while you were the most indulged generation, you were also in many ways the most abandoned to your own meager devices by those into whose safe-keeping you had been given.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Self-trust is the first secret of success ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62772]]></link><description><![CDATA[Self-trust is the first secret of success]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Inspiration is a farce that poets have invented to give themselves importance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37515]]></link><description><![CDATA[Inspiration is a farce that poets have invented to give themselves importance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is to little. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/231]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is to little.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Their hearts sweat with undivulged guilt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50512]]></link><description><![CDATA[Their hearts sweat with undivulged guilt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22907]]></link><description><![CDATA[I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All human joys are swift of wing, For heaven doth so allot it;  That when you get an easy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23424]]></link><description><![CDATA[All human joys are swift of wing, For heaven doth so allot it;  That when you get an easy thing,   You find you haven't got it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boxing purists, quite naturally, question Tyson's appetite for victory.
