So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not the years in your life but the life in your years that counts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24964]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not the years in your life but the life in your years that counts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because bankers measure their self-worth in money, and pay themselves a lot of it, they think they're fine fellows and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15919]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because bankers measure their self-worth in money, and pay themselves a lot of it, they think they're fine fellows and don't need to explain themselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.
