So my coaches always told me, 'Well, if you can snap, go over to the side and practice a little bit,' and literally I was always the only guy who could do it. So I did it in pee wee, midget, junior high school, high school, college. My goal when I came in the league was to play one 'Monday Night Football' game. Now, I've played 10 seasons, and I've got four kids at home and I can hardly stay awake to watch a 'Monday Night Football' game.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind.

It is good. It is the best. It is the clean, clear cut teaching of God's Word, the trophies won by truth in its conflict with error, the levees which faith has raised against the desolating floods of honest or reckless misbelief or unbelief; but orthodoxy, clear and hard as crystal, suspicious and militant, may be but the letter well shaped, well named, and well learned, the letter which kills.

It may be useful, too, to lay bare all the feelings, thoughts, and longings which are the result of your depression before some spiritual advisor, in all humility and faithfulness; to seek the society of spiritually minded people, and to frequent such as far as possible while you are suffering. And finally, resign yourself into God's hands, endeavoring to bear this harassing depression patiently.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't hold a man down without staying down with him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45162]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't hold a man down without staying down with him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Difficulties are things that show a person what they are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44328]]></link><description><![CDATA[Difficulties are things that show a person what they are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cold is thy hopeless heart, even as charity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5713]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cold is thy hopeless heart, even as charity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cruelty is a part of nature, at least of human nature, but it is the one thing that seems unnatural ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10784]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cruelty is a part of nature, at least of human nature, but it is the one thing that seems unnatural to us]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a short series about the early church:   Christians love one another.

They never fail to help widows; they save orphans from those who would hurt them. If a man has something, he gives freely to the man who has nothing. If they see a stranger, Christians take him home and are happy, as though he were a real brother. They don't consider themselves brothers in the usual sense, but brothers instead through the Spirit, in God. And if they hear that one of them is in jail, or persecuted for professing the name of their redeemer, they all give him what he needs -- if it is possible, they bail him out. If one of them is poor and there isn't enough food to go around, they fast several days to give him the food he needs... This is really a new kind of person. There is something divine in them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hate your next-door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44370]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hate your next-door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was the type of player that stood up for his teammates.

John Henry Newman  September 10, 2000   Evangelism is not an option for the Christian life.   ... Luis Palau  September 11, 2000   Lord, behold our family here assembled. We thank Thee for this place in which we dwell; for the love that unites us; for the peace accorded us this day; for the hope with which we expect the morrow; for the health, the work, the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth, and our friendly helpers in this foreign isle [Samoa]... Give us courage, gaiety, and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavors. If it may not be, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving to one another.   ... Robert Louis Stevenson  September 12, 2000   Devotion is the real spiritual sweetness which takes away all bitterness from mortifications, and prevents consolations from disagreeing with the soul; it cures the poor of sadness, and the rich of presumption; it keeps the oppressed from feeling desolate, and the prosperous from insolence: it averts sadness from the lonely, and dissipation from social life; it is as warmth in winter and as refreshing dew in summer; it knows how to abound and how to suffer want, how to profit alike by honour and by contempt; it accepts gladness and sadness with an even mind, and fills men's hearts with a wondrous sweetness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no great genius without a mixture of madness. [Lat., Nullum magnum ingenium sine mixtura dementia.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17299]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no great genius without a mixture of madness. [Lat., Nullum magnum ingenium sine mixtura dementia.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The public! the public! how many fools does it require to make the public? [Fr., Le public! le public! combien ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52457]]></link><description><![CDATA[The public! the public! how many fools does it require to make the public? [Fr., Le public! le public! combien faut-il de sots pour faire un public?]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Controversy is only dreaded by the advocates of error ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10067]]></link><description><![CDATA[Controversy is only dreaded by the advocates of error]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beware of one who flatters unduly; he will also censure unjustly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5433]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beware of one who flatters unduly; he will also censure unjustly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can't tell you if genius is hereditary, because heaven has granted me no offspring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22905]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can't tell you if genius is hereditary, because heaven has granted me no offspring.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["And now, Madam," I addressed her, "we shall try who shall get the breeches." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61931]]></link><description><![CDATA["And now, Madam," I addressed her, "we shall try who shall get the breeches."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wise man sometimes flees from society from fear of being bored. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56771]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wise man sometimes flees from society from fear of being bored.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would contend that our children are as important to the future of the country as the economy.
