The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a history in all men's lives, Figuring the nature of the times deceased,  The which observed, a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48463]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a history in all men's lives, Figuring the nature of the times deceased,  The which observed, a man may prophesy,   With a near aim, of the main chance of things    As yet not come to life, which in their seeds     And weak beginnings lie intreasured.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By many indignities we come to dignities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50973]]></link><description><![CDATA[By many indignities we come to dignities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Anskar, Archbishop of Hamburg, Missionary to Denmark and Sweden, 865   We must be willing to accept ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8030]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Anskar, Archbishop of Hamburg, Missionary to Denmark and Sweden, 865   We must be willing to accept the bitter truth that, in the end, we may have to become a burden to those who love us. But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtue is a habit of the mind, consistent with nature and moderation and reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60775]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtue is a habit of the mind, consistent with nature and moderation and reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[if this night is all we have, we'll let sunrise wait for us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45653]]></link><description><![CDATA[if this night is all we have, we'll let sunrise wait for us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are many who find a good alibi far more attractive than an achievement.

For an achievement does not settle anything permanently. We still have to prove our worth anew each day: we have to prove that we are as good today as we were yesterday. But when we have a valid alibi for not achieving anything we are fixed, so to speak, for life. Moreover, when we have an alibi for not writing a book, painting a picture, and so on, we have an alibi for not writing the greatest book and not painting the greatest picture. Small wonder that the effort expended and the punishment endured in obtaining a good alibi often exceed the effort and grief requisite for the attainment of a most marked achievement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62889]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think another problem people have is they are always searching for that high, and they don't realize they can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31785]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think another problem people have is they are always searching for that high, and they don't realize they can get that same high with that same person again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31785</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65471]]></link><description><![CDATA[Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry is a packsack of invisible keepsakes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46799]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry is a packsack of invisible keepsakes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freedom of speech and freedom of action are meaningless without freedom to think.

Wherever you go, make some of those women your friends; which a very little matter will do. Ask their advice, tell them your doubts or difficulties as to your behavior; but take great care not to drop one word of their experience; for experience implies age, and the suspicion of age, no woman, let her be ever so old, ever forgives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one than to have an opportunity and not be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45104]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one than to have an opportunity and not be prepared.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two ways of exerting one's strength: one is pushing down, the other is pulling up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13647]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are two ways of exerting one's strength: one is pushing down, the other is pulling up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're now looking at going over there to begin discussions.
