Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is going to be an interesting challenge for both sides, playing the same opponent in seven consecutive games. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41975]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is going to be an interesting challenge for both sides, playing the same opponent in seven consecutive games.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your property is in danger when your neighbour's house is on fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50403]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your property is in danger when your neighbour's house is on fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One faire day in winter makes not birds merrie. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49686]]></link><description><![CDATA[One faire day in winter makes not birds merrie.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I make a declaration every spring, Of reformation ere the year run out,  But somehow this my vestal vary ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48746]]></link><description><![CDATA[I make a declaration every spring, Of reformation ere the year run out,  But somehow this my vestal vary takes wing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou said'st--O, it comes o'er my memory As doth the raven o'er the infected house,  Boding to all!--He had ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou said'st--O, it comes o'er my memory As doth the raven o'er the infected house,  Boding to all!--He had my handkerchief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3590]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The United States is a nation of laws: badly written and randomly enforced. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24270]]></link><description><![CDATA[The United States is a nation of laws: badly written and randomly enforced.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's better for the patents.
