Franz Kafka
“Maxim for life: You get treated in life the way you teach people to treat you.”
Wayne Dyer

“Free people, remember this maxim: We may acquire liberty, but it is never recovered if it is once lost.”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
“I have always laid it down as a maxim /and found it justified by experience /that a man and a woman make far better friendships than can exist between two of the same sex /but then with the condition that they never have made or are to make love to each other.”
Lord Byron
“No matter how full a reservoir of maxims one may possess, and no matter how good one's sentiments may be, if one has not taken advantage of every concrete opportunity to act, one's character may retain entirely unaffected for the better.”
William James
