Prosperity has power to intoxicate the imagination, to fix the mind upon the present scene, to produce confidence and elation, and to make him who enjoys affluence and honors forget the hand by which they were bestowed. It is seldom that we are otherwise than by affliction awakened to a sense of our imbecility, or taught to know how little all our acquisitions can conduce to safety or quiet, and how justly we may inscribe to the superintendence of a higher power those blessings which in the wantonness of success we considered as the attainments of our policy and courage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'll be working with everybody so I'll get to know fairly well what different issues are coming up in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29276]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'll be working with everybody so I'll get to know fairly well what different issues are coming up in the stations.
