But we don't give him the ball a lot inside for 2-3 yard dive plays. We prefer giving him the ball off-tackle where he can get into the open field. Once he's in the clear, he's a vapor trail. He's gone. I don't remember seeing anybody who has caught him from behind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4597]]></link><description><![CDATA[A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Myth is an attempt to narrate a whole human experience, of which the purpose is too deep, going too deep ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43607]]></link><description><![CDATA[Myth is an attempt to narrate a whole human experience, of which the purpose is too deep, going too deep in the blood and soul, for mental explanation or description.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The declaration that our People are hostile to a government made by themselves, for themselves, and conducted by themselves, is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17972]]></link><description><![CDATA[The declaration that our People are hostile to a government made by themselves, for themselves, and conducted by themselves, is an insult.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the excellent foppery of the world, that when we are sick in fortune, often the surfeits of our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16425]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the excellent foppery of the world, that when we are sick in fortune, often the surfeits of our own behavior, we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and stars; as if we were villains on necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and treachers by spherical predominance; drunkards, liars, and adulterers by an enforced obedience of planetary influence; and all that we are evil in, by a divine thrusting on. An admirable evasion of whoremaster man, to lay his goatish disposition on the charge of a star.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My country has contrived for me the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65091]]></link><description><![CDATA[My country has contrived for me the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a vibrancy in Africa.

We must do it together -- or be cast aside together, and God in his absolute freedom goes on by other means to use His Church in hastening His Kingdom.  ...Howard Hewlett Clark    January 31, 1998  Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888  The axioms of reason are non-demonstrable assumptions. Why should faith not be granted the same privilege? The denial of the truths of faith is, in the last analysis, no less a faith than faith itself, for it rests on personal assumptions which are apart from scientific necessity. In other words, as the truth of reason carries its own evidence, so also with faith. To the mind to whom the axioms of reason are not self-evident, they cannot be proven. So also in the case of faith: for the mind that is not enlightened by faith, the evidence of faith is ridiculous. But for the man whose eyes have been enlightened by the Spirit, faith has its proper evidence, though different from that of reason. The only sufficient ground of faith is the authority of God Himself as he addresses me in His Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've won at every level, except college and pro. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57652]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've won at every level, except college and pro.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a long work sleep may be naturally expected. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50268]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a long work sleep may be naturally expected.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And that all seas are made calme and still with oile; and therefore the Divers under the water doe spirt ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44008]]></link><description><![CDATA[And that all seas are made calme and still with oile; and therefore the Divers under the water doe spirt and sprinkle it abroad with their mouthes because it dulceth and allaieth the unpleasant nature thereof, and carrieth a light with it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It depends on what these organizations tell us they need. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29038]]></link><description><![CDATA[It depends on what these organizations tell us they need.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three sparks--pride, envy, and avarice--have been kindled in all hearts. [It., Superbia, invidia ed avarizia sono  Le tre faville ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14305]]></link><description><![CDATA[Three sparks--pride, envy, and avarice--have been kindled in all hearts. [It., Superbia, invidia ed avarizia sono  Le tre faville che hanno i cori accesi.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our understanding of the world is achieved more effectively by conceptual improvements than by discovery of new facts... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57082]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our understanding of the world is achieved more effectively by conceptual improvements than by discovery of new facts...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every woman should have four pets in her life.
