Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't be pushed by your problems.

To me, at least, this is a thoroughly unsound argument, for Christ did not come into the world to bring men "specialized activity," but life, fuller and more satisfying than it had been ever before. If the churches have made Christianity appear to be some kind of specialized spiritual performance so much the worse for them. The real purpose of Christ, the real relevance of the Gospel, is surely to enable men to live together as sons of God. Human beings, like children, love to have secrets, love to be "in the know." But the Christian religion was never meant to be a secret recipe for living, held by a few. It is Good News for all mankind and, because it is that, the more clearly and intelligibly it can be presented, the more faithfully it is following its Master's purpose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I saw old Autumn in the misty morn Stand shadowless like silence, listening  To silence, for no lonely bird ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3560]]></link><description><![CDATA[I saw old Autumn in the misty morn Stand shadowless like silence, listening  To silence, for no lonely bird would sing   Into his hollow ear from woods forlorn,    Nor lowly hedge nor solitary thorn;--     Shaking his languid locks all dewy bright      With tangled gossamer that fell by night,       Pearling his coronet of golden corn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12218]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good folly is worth what you pay for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35530]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good folly is worth what you pay for it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/115]]></link><description><![CDATA[Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We do not know the true value of our moments until they have undergone the test of memory. - The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52032]]></link><description><![CDATA[We do not know the true value of our moments until they have undergone the test of memory. - The Heart's Domain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Justice is the insurance which we have on our lives and property.
