And when it became evident that was too much to ask, Michelle was the first to say she had too much respect for the Olympics and for this country to go out there when she knew she couldn't. Here, it's a different sport and a little different situation. But I think you could plug in the same kind of comments with Jeff -- if it comes to that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I cannot spare the luxury of believing that all things beautiful are what they seem. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10621]]></link><description><![CDATA[I cannot spare the luxury of believing that all things beautiful are what they seem.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's done can't be undone. [Fr., Ce qui est faicr ne se peult desfaire.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50669]]></link><description><![CDATA[What's done can't be undone. [Fr., Ce qui est faicr ne se peult desfaire.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50669</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An old mans staffe is the rapper of deaths doore. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49129]]></link><description><![CDATA[An old mans staffe is the rapper of deaths doore.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you do not wish to be lied to, do not ask questions.

Therefore salvation is linked with faith, which earns nothing but elicits all, like the touch that evokes electricity but which no man supposes to have made it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You've got to get obsessed and stay obsessed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44811]]></link><description><![CDATA[You've got to get obsessed and stay obsessed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good ideas are common - what's uncommon are people who'll work hard enough to bring them about ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20270]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good ideas are common - what's uncommon are people who'll work hard enough to bring them about]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We live in a disposable society, but here, you keep and reuse.

They do not prove beyond all question the existence of the God of the Bible. Furthermore, it must be remembered that man's mind, his thinking process, has been affected by his fall into sin.
