On the most general level, they're an explicit acknowledgment that what you're doing is insufficiently interesting or rewarding for you to do it on your own. Nobody ever gave you a grade for learning how to play, how to ride a bicycle, or how to kiss. One of the best ways to destroy love for any of these activities would be through the use of grades, and the coercion and judgment they represent. Grades are a cudgel to bludgeon the unwilling into doing what they don't want to do, an important instrument in inculcating children into a lifelong subservience to whatever authority happens to be thrust over them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A truth spoken before its time is dangerous. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11060]]></link><description><![CDATA[A truth spoken before its time is dangerous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The careful insect 'midst his works I view, Now from the flowers exhaust the fragrant dew,  With golden treasures ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3903]]></link><description><![CDATA[The careful insect 'midst his works I view, Now from the flowers exhaust the fragrant dew,  With golden treasures load his little thighs,   And steer his distant journey through the skies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3903</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jake took it very personal last season. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31969]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jake took it very personal last season.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Others again, perhaps truly awakened by the Spirit of God to devote themselves wholly to piety and the service of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7006]]></link><description><![CDATA[Others again, perhaps truly awakened by the Spirit of God to devote themselves wholly to piety and the service of God, yet making too much haste to have the glory of saints, the elements of fallen nature -- selfishness, envy, pride, and wrath -- could secretly go along with them. For to seek for eminence and significancy in grace is but like seeking for eminence and significancy in nature. And the old man can relish glory and distinction in religion as well as in common life, and will be content to undergo as many labours, pains, and self-denials for the sake of religious, as for the sake of secular glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[T]he music's pure algebra of enchantment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43424]]></link><description><![CDATA[[T]he music's pure algebra of enchantment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's so incredibly special.
