For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like? •Jean Cocteau  Sometimes I worry about being a success in a mediocre world. •Lily Tomlin  The penalty for success is to be bored by the people who used to snub you. •Nancy Astor  For you to be successful, sacrifices must be made. It's better that they are made by others but failing that, you'll have to make them yourself. •Rita Mae Brown  Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside. •Mark Twain  The way to learn to do things is to do things. The way to learn a trade is to work at it. Success teaches how to succeed. Begin with the determination to succeed, and the work is half done already. •J.N. Fadenburg   Make a success of living by seeing the goal and aiming for it unswervingly. •Cecil B. Demille  I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true.

If you can fake those, you've got it made. •Groucho Marx  Americans are the only people in the world known to me whose status anxiety prompts them to advertise their college and university affiliations in the rear window of their automobiles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any time you try to win everything, you must be willing to lose everything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22257]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any time you try to win everything, you must be willing to lose everything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't give advice unless you're asked. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29130]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't give advice unless you're asked.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive! - Marmion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19688]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive! - Marmion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He best can paint them who shall feel them most. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45428]]></link><description><![CDATA[He best can paint them who shall feel them most.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long.

In our eyes, the job is not yet done; and such an action would be, though we would not put it so, an interference. But suppose our hope rests in the purpose of God: then we safely leave the timing of the earthly experiment to Him. Meanwhile, we do what we were told to do -- to be alert and to work and pray for the spread of His Kingdom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Meux Benson, Founder of the Society of St John the Evangelist, 1915  No one who is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6529]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Meux Benson, Founder of the Society of St John the Evangelist, 1915  No one who is fit to live need fear to die. Poor, timorous, faithless souls that we are! How we shall smile at our vain alarms, when the worst has happened! To us here, death is the most terrible word we know. But when we have tasted its reality, it will mean to us birth, deliverance, a new creation of ourselves. It will be what health is to the sick man. It will be what home is to the exile. It will be what the loved one given back is to the bereaved. As we draw near to it, a great solemn gladness should fill our hearts. It is God's great morning lighting up the sky.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Dog and the ShadowA DOG, crossing a bridge over a stream with a piece of flesh in his mouth, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1521]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Dog and the ShadowA DOG, crossing a bridge over a stream with a piece of flesh in his mouth, saw his own shadow in the water and took it for that of another Dog, with a piece of meat double his own in size.
