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[Rains driven by storms fall not perpetually on the land already sodden, neither do varying gales for ever disturb the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50317]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rains driven by storms fall not perpetually on the land already sodden, neither do varying gales for ever disturb the Caspian sea.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Momentum is building for smoke-free measures around the region.
