This power becomes available to you just as you can change your beliefs. •Maxwell Maltz  Some minds are like concrete, all mixed up and permanently set. •Source Unknown   The mind is a dangerous weapon, even to the possessor, if he knows not discreetly how to use it. •Michel de Montaigne  If the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't. •Lyall Watson  Little minds are interested in the extraordinary; great minds in the commonplace. •Elbert Hubbard  The mind has exactly the same power as the hands: not merely to grasp the world, but to change it. •Colin Wilson   Mind unemployed is mind unenjoyed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Teamwork is no accident.It is the by-product of good leadership. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38408]]></link><description><![CDATA[Teamwork is no accident.It is the by-product of good leadership.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I don't have wisdom, I can teach you only ignorance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64767]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I don't have wisdom, I can teach you only ignorance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art hurts.
