The wider that strip of land and the more sensitive the player is to the changing composition of the ground under his feet as he pursues the ball, the more effective the warning. Romanticizing or lionizing as "individualistic" those people who disregard social cues and inducements increases the danger of head-on collisions with inherent social limits. Decrying various forms of social disapproval is in effect narrowing the warning strip.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I should think that being my old lady would be all the satisfaction or career any woman needs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5256]]></link><description><![CDATA[I should think that being my old lady would be all the satisfaction or career any woman needs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time to get a go on this drop-dead-gorgeous morning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65699]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time to get a go on this drop-dead-gorgeous morning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is our task?

and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. 4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people. 5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee. 6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. 12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43943</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Often the test of courage is not to die but to live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10398]]></link><description><![CDATA[Often the test of courage is not to die but to live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you forgive, you in no way change the past - but you sure do change the future. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8232]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you forgive, you in no way change the past - but you sure do change the future.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In my case, adulthood itself was not an advance, although it was a useful waymark. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27143]]></link><description><![CDATA[In my case, adulthood itself was not an advance, although it was a useful waymark.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27143</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2999]]></link><description><![CDATA[Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2999</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The richest man is not he who has the most, but he who needs the least. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62735]]></link><description><![CDATA[The richest man is not he who has the most, but he who needs the least.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coffee should be black as Hell, strong as death, and sweet as love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19142]]></link><description><![CDATA[Coffee should be black as Hell, strong as death, and sweet as love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best performance improvement is the transition from the nonworking state to the working state. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22032]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best performance improvement is the transition from the nonworking state to the working state.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jazz is the music of the body ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23128]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jazz is the music of the body]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If't be summer news, Smile to't before;
