Unless the ethical is assumed from the outset, no argument will bring you to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knavery and flattery are blood relations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16200]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knavery and flattery are blood relations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man can learn nothing except by going from the known to the unknown. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28122]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man can learn nothing except by going from the known to the unknown.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You will be a failure, until you impress the subconscious with the conviction you are a success.
