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[My true friends have always given me that supreme proof of devotion, a spontaneous aversion for the man I loved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16826]]></link><description><![CDATA[My true friends have always given me that supreme proof of devotion, a spontaneous aversion for the man I loved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What some invent the rest enlarge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54560]]></link><description><![CDATA[What some invent the rest enlarge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burdens unnecessarily laid upon them ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17995]]></link><description><![CDATA[The marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burdens unnecessarily laid upon them by their governments.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When decorum is repression, the only dignity free men have is to speak out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16651]]></link><description><![CDATA[When decorum is repression, the only dignity free men have is to speak out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And thou I bestow all my good to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5692]]></link><description><![CDATA[And thou I bestow all my good to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom is not finally tested in the schools, Wisdom cannot be pass'd from one having it to another not having ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23522]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom is not finally tested in the schools, Wisdom cannot be pass'd from one having it to another not having it, Wisdom is of the soul, is not susceptible of proof, is its own proof.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've got a strong girls' team.
