We had an array of trouble. We had contractor problems, where contractors weren't able to clear the tracks in time for rush hour. We had a broken rail, missing third-rail shoes, locomotive engine failures, and then we had the (New York City transit) strike in December. That affected all the lines because of slower boarding and congestions. We had trains stacked.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Drugs are a bet with your mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13026]]></link><description><![CDATA[Drugs are a bet with your mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13026</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that a worthwhile life is defined by a kind of spiritual journey and a sense of obligation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44755]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that a worthwhile life is defined by a kind of spiritual journey and a sense of obligation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You must sacrifice, train, do everything possible to put yourself in a position to win.

Like faxes, computer modems and other modern gadgets that have clogged out lives with phony urgency, cell phones represent the 20th Century's escalation of imaginary need. We didn't need cell phones until we had them.

For infinite wisdom does not need telling what is best, and infinite goodness needs no urging to do it. But neither does God need any of those things that are done by finite agents, whether living or inanimate. He could, if He chose, repair our bodies miraculously without food; or give us food without the aid of farmers, bakers, and butchers; or knowledge without the aid of learned men; or convert the heathen without missionaries. Instead, He allows soils and weather and animals and the muscles, minds, and wills of men to cooperate in the execution of His will. "God", says Pascal, "instituted prayer in order to lend to His creatures the dignity of causality." But it is not only prayer; whenever we act at all, He lends us that dignity. It is not really stranger, nor less strange, that my prayers should affect the course of events than that my other actions should do so.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let no man seek Henceforth to be foretold that shall befall  Him or his children. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50655]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let no man seek Henceforth to be foretold that shall befall  Him or his children.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Daniel deserves all the credit.
