The practical organization offers opportunities for self-advancement, and its appeal is mainly to self-interest. On the other hand, a mass movement, particularly in its active, revivalist phase, appeals not to those intent on bolstering and advancing a cherished self, but to those who crave to be rid of an unwanted self. A mass movement attracts and holds a following not because it can satisfy the desire for self-advancement, but because it can satisfy the passion for self-renunciation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The young people think the old people are fools - but the old people know the young people are fools. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63142]]></link><description><![CDATA[The young people think the old people are fools - but the old people know the young people are fools.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Difficult years lie ahead, patience is required. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66503]]></link><description><![CDATA[Difficult years lie ahead, patience is required.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commerce has set the mark of selfishness, The signet of its all-enslaving power  Upon a shining ore, and called ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17788]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commerce has set the mark of selfishness, The signet of its all-enslaving power  Upon a shining ore, and called it gold;   Before whose image bow the vulgar great,    The vainly rich, the miserable proud,     The mob of peasants, nobles, priests, and kings,      And with blind feelings reverence the power       That grinds them to the dust of misery.        But in the temple of their hireling hearts         Gold is a living god, and rules in scorn          All earthly things but virtue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We firmly expect to achieve progress and advance beyond agreements reached at ... previous talks, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28848]]></link><description><![CDATA[We firmly expect to achieve progress and advance beyond agreements reached at ... previous talks,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The love of Christ both wounds and heals, it fascinates and frightens, it kills and makes alive, it draws and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7204]]></link><description><![CDATA[The love of Christ both wounds and heals, it fascinates and frightens, it kills and makes alive, it draws and repulses.

The best way to get great ideas is to get lots of ideas and throw the bad ones away. 2. Create ideas that are 15 minutes ahead of their time...not light years ahead. 3. Always look for a second right answer. 4. If at first you don't succeed, take a break. 5. Write down your ideas before you forget them. 6. If everyone says you are wrong, you're one step ahead. If everyone laughs at you, you're two steps ahead. 7. The answer to your problem "pre-exists." You need to ask the right question to reveal the answer. 8. When you ask a dumb question, you get a smart answer. 9. Never solve a problem from its original perspective. 10. Visualize your problem as solved before solving it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All that we are is the result of what we have thought. -Buddha. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22814]]></link><description><![CDATA[All that we are is the result of what we have thought. -Buddha.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Natural abilities are like natural plants; they need pruning by study. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/69]]></link><description><![CDATA[Natural abilities are like natural plants; they need pruning by study.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/69</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And with them words of so sweet breath composed As made the things more rich. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51259]]></link><description><![CDATA[And with them words of so sweet breath composed As made the things more rich.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success comes in cans; failure in can'ts ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58111]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success comes in cans; failure in can'ts]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58111</guid></item></channel></rss>
