If his atlas tells him the world is flat he will not sail near what he believes to be the edge of our planet for fear of falling off. If his maps include a fountain of eternal youth, a Ponce de Leon will go off in quest of it. 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://maxioms.com/maxiom/51995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64535]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by the accidents of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66560]]></link><description><![CDATA[Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by the accidents of time, or place, or circumstances, are brought into closer connection with you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Taste is, so to speak, the microscope of the judgment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58656]]></link><description><![CDATA[Taste is, so to speak, the microscope of the judgment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58656</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good wine needs no bush ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61661]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good wine needs no bush]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nowher so besy a man as he ther was, And yet he semed bisier than he was. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62090]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nowher so besy a man as he ther was, And yet he semed bisier than he was.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The biggest (growth) at our hotels came from business travelers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35810]]></link><description><![CDATA[The biggest (growth) at our hotels came from business travelers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is one of the incidents of the profession. [Lat., E un incidente del mestiere.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43405]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is one of the incidents of the profession. [Lat., E un incidente del mestiere.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all do 'do, re, mi,' but you have got to find the other notes yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41061]]></link><description><![CDATA[We all do 'do, re, mi,' but you have got to find the other notes yourself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is incredible value in being of service to others.
