He should make this purpose the centralizing point ofhis thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be aworldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whicheverit is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object whichhe has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, andshould devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts towander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is theroyal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if hefails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily mustuntil weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be themeasure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point forfuture power and triumph.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world as seen through the window of an insane asylum is the same world as seen from the window ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39649]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world as seen through the window of an insane asylum is the same world as seen from the window of a dentist's office.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'll never Be such a gosling to obey instinct, but stand  As is a man were author of himself ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20731]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'll never Be such a gosling to obey instinct, but stand  As is a man were author of himself   And knew no other kin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But, oh! the love that gold must crown! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50157]]></link><description><![CDATA[But, oh! the love that gold must crown!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah, don't be sorrowful darling, And don't be sorrowful, pray:  Taking the year together, my dear,   There ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57240]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah, don't be sorrowful darling, And don't be sorrowful, pray:  Taking the year together, my dear,   There isn't more night than day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where there are no women there are no good manners ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60330]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where there are no women there are no good manners]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60330</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is greater, or more fearful sacrilege than to prostitute the great name of God to the petulancy of an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48320]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is greater, or more fearful sacrilege than to prostitute the great name of God to the petulancy of an idle tongue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some persons are likeable in spite of their unswerving integrity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46223]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some persons are likeable in spite of their unswerving integrity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no passengers on spaceship earth. We are all crew. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13118]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are no passengers on spaceship earth. We are all crew.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blessed is the person who is too busy to worry in the daytime and too sleepy to worry at night. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56647]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blessed is the person who is too busy to worry in the daytime and too sleepy to worry at night.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want to know how God created this world.
