The best games are not those in whichall goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those inwhich the outcome is always in doubt. Similarly, the geometry of life isdesigned to keep us at the point of maximum tension between certainty anduncertainty, order and chaos. Every important call is a close one. Wesurvive and evolve by the skin of our teeth. We really wouldn't want itany other way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't worry about life, you're not going to survive it anyway. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24820]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't worry about life, you're not going to survive it anyway.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've told them that this is their last year, and if they want to get in the playoffs, they are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34259]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've told them that this is their last year, and if they want to get in the playoffs, they are going to have to do whatever it takes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Meux Benson, Founder of the Society of St John the Evangelist, 1915   In the long ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8544]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Meux Benson, Founder of the Society of St John the Evangelist, 1915   In the long run, the answer to all those who object to the doctrine of hell is... a question: "What are you asking God to do?" To wipe out their past sins and, at all costs, to give them a fresh start, smoothing every difficulty and offering every miraculous help? But He has done so, on Calvary. To forgive them? They will not be forgiven. To leave them alone?
