Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12114</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The government is vacillating because it is unable to find an agreement within the coalition for partisan reasons, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35812]]></link><description><![CDATA[The government is vacillating because it is unable to find an agreement within the coalition for partisan reasons,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14484]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She is a winsome wee thing, She is a handsome wee thing,  She is a bonny wee thing,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61872]]></link><description><![CDATA[She is a winsome wee thing, She is a handsome wee thing,  She is a bonny wee thing,   This sweet wee wife o' mine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[here. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40292]]></link><description><![CDATA[here.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While you live, tell truth and shame the devil! -King Henry IV.

The best leaders of all, the people know not they exist. They turn to each other and say We did it ourselves.   The mind that does not understand is the Buddha. There is no other. •Ma-Tsu   You cannot describe it or draw it. You cannot praise it enough or perceive it. No place can be found in which to put the Original Face; it will not disappear even when the universe is destroyed. •Mumon  Learning Zen is a phenomenon of gold and dung. Before you understand it, it's like gold; after you understand it, it's like dung. •Zen Saying  No thought, no reflection, no analysis, no cultivation, no intention; let it settle itself. •Tilopa   When you pass through, no one can pin you down, no one can call you back. •Ying-An   There are no mundane things outside of Buddhism, and there is no Buddhism outside of mundane things. •Yuan-Wu  The only Zen you find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there. •Robert M. Pirsig  Man stands in his own shadow and wonders why it's dark. •Zen Proverb  Sit quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm more computer handy now.

Let us live while we live; let us be alive and doing; let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish. Let us believe what we do not see and know. Let us forestall knowledge by faith. Let us maintain before we have demonstrated. This seeming paradox is the secret of happiness. Why should we be unwilling to go by faith? We do all things in this world by faith in the word of others. By faith only do we know our position in the world, our circumstances, our rights and privileges, our fortunes, our parents, our brothers and sisters, our age, our mortality. Why should Religion be an exception? Why should we be unwilling to use for heavenly objects what we daily use for earthly?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is no wonder that people are so horrible when they start their life as children. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40158]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is no wonder that people are so horrible when they start their life as children.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40158</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You will be judges of the fact.
