He was a great singer, with a unique, behind-the-beat laconic style that perfectly fit his devil-may-care personality, and made very astute choices as to material and arrangers.

If his atlas tells him the world is flat he will not sail near what he believes to be the edge of our planet for fear of falling off.

If someone digs up yellow dirt that looks like gold, he will for a time act exactly as if he has found gold. The way in which the world is imagined determines at any particular moment what men will do. It does not determine what they will achieve. It determines their effort, their feelings, their hopes, not their accomplishments and results.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who knows how to flatter also knows how to slander. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47534]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who knows how to flatter also knows how to slander.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She said I bet you don’t remember meAnd I said only every other memory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26907]]></link><description><![CDATA[She said I bet you don’t remember meAnd I said only every other memory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was the type of player that stood up for his teammates.
