In the time at their disposal, it was just not worth while. Perhaps the best hope of reviving the Christian religion would be to convince the Pope, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and other dignitaries likewise, that the world will shortly be coming to an end. A difficult undertaking, I fear, notwithstanding much evidence pointing that way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was a very inferior farmer when he first begun . . . and he is now fast rising from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1969]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was a very inferior farmer when he first begun . . . and he is now fast rising from affluence to poverty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we would have made half of those attempts, we would have won by 10. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38853]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we would have made half of those attempts, we would have won by 10.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've never tried to block out the memories of the past, even though some are painful.

Doc Childre, The How To Book of Teen Self Discovery When I start appreciating, I look at it like business. I start by appreciating life itself. After all, life is really a gift. It might not always seem like that's true, but it is. If nothing else, it's a gift of discovery. So I appreciate that! Doc Childre and Sara Paddision, HeartMath Discovery Program What you put out comes back. The more you sincerely appreciate life from the heart, the more the magnetic energy of appreciation attracts fulfilling life experiences to you, both personally and professionally. Learning how to appreciate more consistently offers many benefits and applications. Appreciation is an easy heart frequency to activate and it can help shift your perspectives quickly. Learning how to appreciate both pleasant and even seemingly unpleasant experiences is a key to increased fulfillment.

The emphasis is on unselfish. Excepting a small minority of mercenary or sadistic disposition, wars are not fought for personal gain, but out of loyalty and devotion to king, country or cause. Homicide committed for personal reasons is a statistical rarity in all cultures, including our own. Homicide for unselfish reasons, at the risk of one's own life, is the dominant phenomenon of history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Charm is a way of getting the answer yes without having asked any clear question. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5777]]></link><description><![CDATA[Charm is a way of getting the answer yes without having asked any clear question.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First, all relationships are with yourself-and sometimes they involveother people.
