Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity. •George S. Patton  Every man has a right to be conceited until he is successful. •Benjamin Disraeli  Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go. •William Feather  All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure. •Mark Twain  The reward of a thing well done is having done it. •Ralph Waldo Emerson  It takes time to succeed because success is merely the natural reward of taking time to do anything well. •Joseph Ross  Success is getting what you want, and happiness is wanting what you get. •Dave Gardner  If at first you don't succeed, assassinate everyone who knows you failed. •Anonymous  The secret of success is this: there is no secret of success. •Elbert Hubbard  Success is determined by those whom prove the impossible, possible. •James W. Pence   The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary. •Vince Lombardi  or •Donald Kendall  The toughest thing about success is that you've got to keep on being a success. Irving Berlin  The first and most important step toward success is the feeling that we can succeed. •Nelson Boswell  The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that you've got it made. •Jean Giraudoux  I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody. •Bill Cosby  Why be a man when you can be a success? •Bertold Brecht  For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled. •Richard Feynman  Nothing succeeds like the appearance of success.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55118]]></link><description><![CDATA[Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There needs no ghost, my lord, come from the grave To tell us this. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2788]]></link><description><![CDATA[There needs no ghost, my lord, come from the grave To tell us this.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men say, "How are we to act, what are we to teach our children, now that we are no longer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8533]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men say, "How are we to act, what are we to teach our children, now that we are no longer Christians?" You see, gentlemen, how I would answer that question. You are deceived in thinking that the morality of your father was based on Christianity. On the contrary, Christianity presupposed it. That morality stands exactly where it did; its basis has not been withdrawn, for, in a sense, it never had a basis. The ultimate ethical injunctions have always been premises, never conclusions. Kant was perfectly right on that point at least, the imperative is categorical. Unless the ethical is assumed from the outset, no argument will bring you to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Language exerts hidden power, like the moon on the tides. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24072]]></link><description><![CDATA[Language exerts hidden power, like the moon on the tides.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cease trying to work everything out with your minds.
