The goals you set for yourselfand the strategies you choose become your blueprint or plan. Strategiesare like recipes: choose the right ingredients, mix them in the correctproportions, and you will always produce the same predictable results: inthis case financial success. The success strategies for managing money andbuilding wealth are called Money Strategies. By learning to use moneystrategies as a part of your day-to-day life, financial frustration andfailure will become a thing of the past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Show me the country that has no strikes and I'll show you the country in which there is no liberty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47357]]></link><description><![CDATA[Show me the country that has no strikes and I'll show you the country in which there is no liberty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faintly as tolls the evening chime, Our voices keep tune and our oars keep time,  Soon as the woods ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4403]]></link><description><![CDATA[Faintly as tolls the evening chime, Our voices keep tune and our oars keep time,  Soon as the woods on shore dim,   We'll sing at St. Ann's our parting hymn;    Row, brothers, row, the stream runs fast,     The rapids are near and the daylight's past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who lives only to benefit himself confers on the world a benefit when he dies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55087]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who lives only to benefit himself confers on the world a benefit when he dies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now between '45 and '48, things would change enormously, 'cos we'd had credit in United States, credit from the Bank ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35743]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now between '45 and '48, things would change enormously, 'cos we'd had credit in United States, credit from the Bank of America, credit from the Import-Export Bank and people had started working again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.

We must do it together -- or be cast aside together, and God in his absolute freedom goes on by other means to use His Church in hastening His Kingdom.  ...Howard Hewlett Clark    January 31, 1998  Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888  The axioms of reason are non-demonstrable assumptions. Why should faith not be granted the same privilege? The denial of the truths of faith is, in the last analysis, no less a faith than faith itself, for it rests on personal assumptions which are apart from scientific necessity. In other words, as the truth of reason carries its own evidence, so also with faith. To the mind to whom the axioms of reason are not self-evident, they cannot be proven. So also in the case of faith: for the mind that is not enlightened by faith, the evidence of faith is ridiculous. But for the man whose eyes have been enlightened by the Spirit, faith has its proper evidence, though different from that of reason. The only sufficient ground of faith is the authority of God Himself as he addresses me in His Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are Batavian graces in all he says. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10207]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are Batavian graces in all he says.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Educate people without religion and you make them but clever devils. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13434]]></link><description><![CDATA[Educate people without religion and you make them but clever devils.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are in fact four very different stumbling blocks in the way of grasping the truth, which hinder every man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52241]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are in fact four very different stumbling blocks in the way of grasping the truth, which hinder every man however learned, and scarcely allow anyone to win a clear title to wisdom, namely, the example of weak and unworthy authority, longstanding custom, the feeling of the ignorant crowd, and the hiding of our own ignorance while making a display of our apparent knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[General jackdaw culture, very little more than a collection of charming miscomprehensions, untargeted enthusiasms, and a general habit of skimming. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57020]]></link><description><![CDATA[General jackdaw culture, very little more than a collection of charming miscomprehensions, untargeted enthusiasms, and a general habit of skimming.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hunger and thirst for knowledge, the keen delight in the chase, the good humored willingness to admit that the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/986]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hunger and thirst for knowledge, the keen delight in the chase, the good humored willingness to admit that the scent was false, the eager desire to get on with the work, the cheerful resolution to go back and begin again, the broad good sense, the unaffected modesty, the imperturbable temper, the gratitude for any little help that was given -- all these will remain in my memory though I cannot paint them for others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's an incredibly inviting place to be.
