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[If you sound like Vera Duckworth you will face prejudice in business. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40057]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you sound like Vera Duckworth you will face prejudice in business.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet, the great ocean hath no tone of power Mightier to reach the soul, in thought's hushed hour,  Than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25084]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet, the great ocean hath no tone of power Mightier to reach the soul, in thought's hushed hour,  Than yours, ye Lilies! chosen thus and graced!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To talk to someone who does not listen is enough to tense the devil. - Talking to Myself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43526]]></link><description><![CDATA[To talk to someone who does not listen is enough to tense the devil. - Talking to Myself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957 There are three lessons I would write,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7531]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957 There are three lessons I would write,  Three words, as with a burning pen, In tracings of eternal light,  Upon the hearts of men. Have Hope. Though clouds environ round,  And gladness hides her face in scorn,  Put off the shadow from thy brow:  No night but hath its morn. Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven -  The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,  The inhabitants of earth. Have Love. Not love alone for one,  But man, as man, thy brother call;  And scatter, like a circling sun,  Thy charities on all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For my part getting up seems not so easy By half as lying. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26129]]></link><description><![CDATA[For my part getting up seems not so easy By half as lying.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1775]]></link><description><![CDATA[Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pain of the mind is worse than the pain of the body ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4424]]></link><description><![CDATA[The pain of the mind is worse than the pain of the body]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quick as a humming bird is my love, Dipping into the hearts of flowers--  She darts so eagerly, swiftly, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20045]]></link><description><![CDATA[Quick as a humming bird is my love, Dipping into the hearts of flowers--  She darts so eagerly, swiftly, sweetly   Dipping into the flowers of my heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64701]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But the churches brought the humanitarian perspective that to a large degree was forgotten.

But no one can give such a heart except the Spirit of God, who makes the person be like the law, so that he actually conceives a heartfelt longing for the law and henceforward does everything, not through fear or coercion, but from a free heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is unfortunate, considering that enthusiasm moves the world, that so few enthusiasts can be trusted to speak the truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2134]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is unfortunate, considering that enthusiasm moves the world, that so few enthusiasts can be trusted to speak the truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47036]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Are you a bromide? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5637]]></link><description><![CDATA[Are you a bromide?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants.
