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 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[You see an awful lot of smart guys with dumb women, but you hardly ever see a smart woman with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61941]]></link><description><![CDATA[You see an awful lot of smart guys with dumb women, but you hardly ever see a smart woman with a dumb guy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are not in the position where we need to sell anyone here, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32831]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are not in the position where we need to sell anyone here,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man works like a horse for his money, there are a lot of girls anxious to take him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2029]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man works like a horse for his money, there are a lot of girls anxious to take him down the bridal path.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wonder is the beginning of wisdom. -Anonymous (Greek Proverb). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1036]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wonder is the beginning of wisdom. -Anonymous (Greek Proverb).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always remember that you are absolutely unique.
