The writer, Mike White, has an ability to create characters that are so creepy and dysfunctional and human, with this duality that makes people feel empathy for them at the same time. My first thought was 'Was this sent to the right person?' I called my agent. 'Are they sure? Let's say yes before they realize they've sent it to the wrong person!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The child is father of the man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6012]]></link><description><![CDATA[The child is father of the man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Lanfranc, Prior of Le Bec, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1089  Only he who flings himself upward when the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6227]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Lanfranc, Prior of Le Bec, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1089  Only he who flings himself upward when the pull comes to drag him down, can hope to break the force of temptation. Temptation may be an invitation to hell, but much more is it an opportunity to reach heaven. At the moment of temptation, sin and righteousness are both very near the Christian; but, of the two, the latter is the nearer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not the kind of PR you want.

It is no use passing judgments and making scapegoats of this or that individual statesman or group of statesmen. Idealists make a great mistake in not facing the real facts sincerely and resolutely. They believe in the power of the spirit, in the goodness which is at the heart of things, in the triumph which is in store for the great moral ideals of the race. But this great faith only too often leads to an optimism which is sadly and fatally at variance with actual results. It is the realist and not the idealist who is generally justified by events. We forget that the human spirit, the spirit of goodness and truth in the world, is still only an infant crying in the night, and that the struggle with darkness is as yet mostly an unequal struggle. . . . Paris proved this terrible truth once more. It was not Wilson who failed there, but humanity itself. It was not the statesmen that failed, so much as the spirit of the peoples behind them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want to be motivational and inspirational for everybody: my big aim is more women on bicycles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66631]]></link><description><![CDATA[I want to be motivational and inspirational for everybody: my big aim is more women on bicycles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have a fine sense of the ridiculous, but no sense of humor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34302]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have a fine sense of the ridiculous, but no sense of humor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fly pride, says the peacock: mistress, that you know. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46002]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fly pride, says the peacock: mistress, that you know.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The resolved minde hath no cares. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49906]]></link><description><![CDATA[The resolved minde hath no cares.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17053]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kareem loved playing for the Bobcats and made returning to the team his top priority.

I had the opportunity to serve as a bishop in a campus ward while I was still an assistant coach. When I was appointed head football coach in 1972, I decided to approach my role as a coach much the same as I did as a bishop, delegating responsibility to my assistants, putting responsibility on the players for self-improvement in all aspects of their lives, and using personal interviews with players to try to give positive reinforcement and encouragement so that they might do their very best and reach their full potential, both on and off the field.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Country music is three chords and the truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43513]]></link><description><![CDATA[Country music is three chords and the truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's all about wearing horizontal stripes in the right way.
