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[I got Jimmy Hall from Wet Willie and he also plays now with Hank Williams Jr. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36142]]></link><description><![CDATA[I got Jimmy Hall from Wet Willie and he also plays now with Hank Williams Jr.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only real power comes out of a long rifle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66634]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only real power comes out of a long rifle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66634</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unfortunately, what they're playing on the radio now is not really fair to a lot of great musicians that are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36485]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, what they're playing on the radio now is not really fair to a lot of great musicians that are out there struggling to be heard.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.

It was wonderful to touch one of them and think, Perhaps the Apostle Paul or one of the martyrs touched this as they passed. But how much more wonderful is it to think that we have, for our own use, the very same sword our Lord used when the Devil attacked Him. [Brooke Foss] Westcott says "the Word of God" in Ephesians 6:17 means "a definite utterance of God". We know these "definite utterances" -- we have the same Book that He had, and we can do as He did. So let us learn the "definite utterances" that they may be ready in our minds; ready for use at the moment of need -- our sword which never grows dull and rusty, but is always keen and bright. So once more I say, let us not expect defeat but victory. Let us take fast hold and keep fast hold of our sword, and we shall win in any assault of the enemy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Again let us dream where the land lies sunny And live, like the bees, on our hearts' old honey,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12867]]></link><description><![CDATA[Again let us dream where the land lies sunny And live, like the bees, on our hearts' old honey,  Away from the world that slaves for money--   Come, journey the way with me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How it pours, pours, pours, In a never-ending sheet!  How it drives beneath the doors!   How it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52933]]></link><description><![CDATA[How it pours, pours, pours, In a never-ending sheet!  How it drives beneath the doors!   How it soaks the passer's feet!    How it rattles on the shutter!     How it rumples up the lawn!      How 'twill sigh, and moan, and mutter,       From darkness until dawn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When suffering knocks at your door and you say there is no seat for him, he tells you not to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31491]]></link><description><![CDATA[When suffering knocks at your door and you say there is no seat for him, he tells you not to worry because he has brought his own stool.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always remember others may hate you but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them.
