Despite their not-too-distant affinity to the Quakers, they think they will be heard for their much speaking. And since their organists too are equally reluctant to let any liturgical action pass without a ruminative obbligato on the Swell manual, congregations are subjected to unrelieved noise during a service which may well have begun with the reading of the sentence, "Be still, and know that I am God.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better to get up late and be wide awake than to get up early and be asleep all day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56646]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better to get up late and be wide awake than to get up early and be asleep all day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is important that man dreams, but it is perhaps equally important that he can laugh at his own dreams. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52151]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is important that man dreams, but it is perhaps equally important that he can laugh at his own dreams.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, what authority and show of truth Can cunning sin cover itself withal! -Much Ado about Nothing.

Our affections are not ours to be blighted and crucified; they are ours to be deepened and purified. The rich opportunities of life are not held out to us only to be snatched away by an invisible hand patiently waiting for the hour when the cup is sweetest; they are given to us that we may grow, alike through their rise or their withdrawal. They are real, they are sweet, and they are worthy of our longing for them; we gain nothing by calling them dross, or the world an illusion, or ourselves the victims of deception, or by exalting renunciation as the highest virtue. When these opportunities are denied us, it is a real, not an imaginary, loss which we sustain; and our part is not that of bare renunciation, of simple surrender; our part is to recognize the loss, to bear the pain, and to find a deeper and richer life in doing the will of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The important thing is not what they think of me, but what I think of them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52710]]></link><description><![CDATA[The important thing is not what they think of me, but what I think of them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are one hundred and ninety nine ways to beat, but only one way to win; get there first. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61699]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are one hundred and ninety nine ways to beat, but only one way to win; get there first.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have seven seniors on this team and we talked about keeping our composure at halftime.
