No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man. •Elbert Hubbard  It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do. •Jerome K Jerome  One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important. •Bertrand Russell  Ninety-eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hard-working, honest Americans. It's the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then--we elected them. •Lily Tomlin  Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work he is supposed to be doing at the moment. •Robert Benchley  Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. •Thomas Edison  Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all. •Sam Ewing  Real success is finding you lifework in the work that you love. •David McCullough  Executive ability is deciding quickly and getting somebody else to do the work. •John G.

He desires his transcript to be faithful to the meaning of the original, so far as he can reach that meaning, and also to do some justice to its literary qualities. But he is well aware that his aim often exceeds his grasp. Translation may be a fascinating task, yet no discipline is more humbling. You may be translating oracles, but soon you learn the risk and folly of posing as an oracle yourself. If your readers are dissatisfied at any point, they may be sure that the translator is still more dissatisfied, if not there, then elsewhere -- all the more so, because, in the nature of the case, he has always to appear dogmatic in print.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some preparations are now in progress to assure the smooth organization of the meeting, and 'Management of Migratory Flows' has ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36234]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some preparations are now in progress to assure the smooth organization of the meeting, and 'Management of Migratory Flows' has been selected theme of the meeting,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a rule, there is no surer way to the dislike of men than to behave well where they have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4010]]></link><description><![CDATA[As a rule, there is no surer way to the dislike of men than to behave well where they have behaved badly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4010</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The winds grow high; Impending tempests charge the sky;  The lightning flies, the thunder roars;   And big ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57901]]></link><description><![CDATA[The winds grow high; Impending tempests charge the sky;  The lightning flies, the thunder roars;   And big waves lash the frightened shores.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is harder to kill a whisper than even a shouted calumny. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61530]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is harder to kill a whisper than even a shouted calumny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If God hath made this world so fair,Where sin and death abound,How beautiful beyond compareWill paradise be found!. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11293]]></link><description><![CDATA[If God hath made this world so fair,Where sin and death abound,How beautiful beyond compareWill paradise be found!.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sex prejudice is so ingrained in our society that many who practice it are simply unaware that they are hurting ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48119]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sex prejudice is so ingrained in our society that many who practice it are simply unaware that they are hurting .
