But we can at least crystallize the lessons into two simple maxims- one negative, the other positive. The first is that, in face of the overwhelming evidence of history, no general is justified in launching his troops to a direct attack upon an enemy firmly in position. The second, that instead of seeking to upset the enemy's equilibrium by one's attack, it must be upset before a real attack is, or can be successfully launched.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It isn't enough for your heart to break because everybody's heart is broken now. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19054]]></link><description><![CDATA[It isn't enough for your heart to break because everybody's heart is broken now.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13460]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We shall assume that what each man does is based not on direct and certain knowledge, but by pictures made ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51995]]></link><description><![CDATA[We shall assume that what each man does is based not on direct and certain knowledge, but by pictures made by himself or given to him. If his atlas tells him the world is flat he will not sail near what he believes to be the edge of our planet for fear of falling off. If his maps include a fountain of eternal youth, a Ponce de Leon will go off in quest of it. If someone digs up yellow dirt that looks like gold, he will for a time act exactly as if he has found gold. The way in which the world is imagined determines at any particular moment what men will do. It does not determine what they will achieve. It determines their effort, their feelings, their hopes, not their accomplishments and results.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sanctions will be related to a region's general allocation funds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29371]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sanctions will be related to a region's general allocation funds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I remain just one thing, and one thing only -- and that is a clown.
