He should make this purpose the centralizing point ofhis thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be aworldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whicheverit is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object whichhe has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, andshould devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts towander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is theroyal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if hefails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily mustuntil weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be themeasure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point forfuture power and triumph.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In war, resolution; in defeat, defiance; in victory, magnanimity ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11791]]></link><description><![CDATA[In war, resolution; in defeat, defiance; in victory, magnanimity]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This doesn't mean that it will remain so strong in the next couple of quarters, but the Federal Reserve cannot ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34763]]></link><description><![CDATA[This doesn't mean that it will remain so strong in the next couple of quarters, but the Federal Reserve cannot sit down and look and wait, because whatever they do today, it takes effect in six to 12 months.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34763</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hat is the ultimatum moriens of respectability. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18886]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hat is the ultimatum moriens of respectability.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Liberty from Greece withdrew, And o'er the Adriatic flew,  To where the Tiber pours his urn,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24685]]></link><description><![CDATA[When Liberty from Greece withdrew, And o'er the Adriatic flew,  To where the Tiber pours his urn,   She struck the rude Tarpeian rock;    Sparks were kindled by the shock--     Again thy fires began to burn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24685</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is a carnivorous production, And must have meals, at least one meal a day;  He cannot live, like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13177]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is a carnivorous production, And must have meals, at least one meal a day;  He cannot live, like woodcocks, upon suction,   But, like the shark and tiger, must have prey;    Although his anatomical construction     Bears vegetables, in a grumbling way,      Your laboring people think beyond all question,       Beef, veal, and mutton better for digestion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The present condition of fame is merely fashion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15128]]></link><description><![CDATA[The present condition of fame is merely fashion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64227]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not fear going forward slowly; fear only to stand still. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62818]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not fear going forward slowly; fear only to stand still.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never let the other fellow set the agenda. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10052]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never let the other fellow set the agenda.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10052</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The chiefs contend only for their place of burial. [Lat., Ducibus tantum de funere pugna est.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9968]]></link><description><![CDATA[The chiefs contend only for their place of burial. [Lat., Ducibus tantum de funere pugna est.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who hesitates is a damned fool. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19278]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who hesitates is a damned fool.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64976]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know that there are things that never have been funny, and never will be.
