You would be surprised if you knew how soon one begins to feel the shortness of the tether: of how many things, even in middle life, we have to say, "No time for that", "Too late now" and "Not for me". But Nature herself forbids you [young people] to share that experience. A more Christian attitude, which can be attained at any age, is that of leaving futurity in God's hands. We may as well, for God will certainly retain it whether we leave it to Him or not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is full of cactus, but we don't have to sit on it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47046]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world is full of cactus, but we don't have to sit on it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's elimination time and we were kind of tight.
