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/1161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15169]]></link><description><![CDATA[A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Married love between man and woman is bigger than oaths guarded by right of nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43853]]></link><description><![CDATA[Married love between man and woman is bigger than oaths guarded by right of nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good Judge conceives quickly, judges slowly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49029]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good Judge conceives quickly, judges slowly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43229]]></link><description><![CDATA[My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our prayers should be for a sound mind in a healthy body. [Lat., Orandum est ut sit mens sana in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18923]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our prayers should be for a sound mind in a healthy body. [Lat., Orandum est ut sit mens sana in corpore sano.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wise man does not permit himself to set up even in his own mind any comparisons of his friends. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16975]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wise man does not permit himself to set up even in his own mind any comparisons of his friends.

So, if God puts up with it for the sake of some good He foresees for you, and if you are willing to suffer what God suffers, and to take what comes to you through Him, then whatever it is, it becomes divine in itself; shame becomes honor, bitterness becomes sweet, and gross darkness, clear light. Everything takes its flavor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens [reveals] God when a man's mind works that way; things all have this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People go to Africa and confirm what they already have in their heads and so they fail to see what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31492]]></link><description><![CDATA[People go to Africa and confirm what they already have in their heads and so they fail to see what is there in front of them.

She not only abstained from beating him, but encouraged him. He next time stole a cloak and brought it to her, and she again commended him. The Youth, advanced to adulthood, proceeded to steal things of still greater value. At last he was caught in the very act, and having his hands bound behind him, was led away to the place of public execution. His Mother followed in the crowd and violently beat her breast in sorrow, whereupon the young man said, I wish to say something to my Mother in her ear. She came close to him, and he quickly seized her ear with his teeth and bit it off. The Mother upbraided him as an unnatural child, whereon he replied, Ah! if you had beaten me when I first stole and brought to you that lesson-book, I should not have come to this, nor have been thus led to a disgraceful death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Have you ever taken anything out of the clothes basket because it had become, relatively, the cleaner thing? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Have you ever taken anything out of the clothes basket because it had become, relatively, the cleaner thing?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The welfare of each is bound up in the welfare of all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61516]]></link><description><![CDATA[The welfare of each is bound up in the welfare of all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old as I am, for ladies' love unfit, The power of beauty I remember yet,  Which once inflam'd my ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3853]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old as I am, for ladies' love unfit, The power of beauty I remember yet,  Which once inflam'd my soul, and still inspires my wit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am a novelist, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41917]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am a novelist,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think our seniors will provide some good leadership.
