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[Actors today go into TV, which I don't consider has a lot to do with acting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64925]]></link><description><![CDATA[Actors today go into TV, which I don't consider has a lot to do with acting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11197]]></link><description><![CDATA[While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In hospitals there is no time off for good behavior. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19885]]></link><description><![CDATA[In hospitals there is no time off for good behavior.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That just shows how rodeo is going for a guy to win that much in one year.

The Stoics tried the hopeless little game of denying its objective reality, or of declaring it a good in itself (which it never is); and the Pessimists attempted to revel in it, as a food to their melancholy, and as something that can no more be transformed than it can be avoided or explained. But Christ came, and He did not really explain it; He did far more: He met it, willed it, transformed it; and He taught us to do all this -- or, rather, He Himself does it within us, if we do not hinder the all-healing hands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've been doing that all year.
