An ankle lock gets over because Kurt Angle does the ankle lock and everyone submits to it. A triangle by Undertaker doesn't get over because WWE has never trained the fans to accept that as a finish because no one ever taps to it. And it was the same thing when Shamrock was in WWE.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hasten slowly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5378]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hasten slowly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For man, maximum excitement is the confrontation of death and the skillful defiance of it by watching others fed to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65621]]></link><description><![CDATA[For man, maximum excitement is the confrontation of death and the skillful defiance of it by watching others fed to it as he survives transfixed with rapture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's an economic as well as an environmental catastrophe.

Just as the degree to which, in daily life, I feel the emotion of fear has very little to do with my rational judgment of the danger. I'd sooner have really nasty seas when I'm in an open boat than look down in perfect (actual) safety from the edge of a cliff. Similarly, I have confessed ghastly uncharities with less reluctance than small unmentionables -- or those sins which happen to be ungentlemanly as well as unchristian. Our emotional reactions to our own behaviour are of limited ethical significance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To have a great man for an intimate friend seems pleasant to those who have never tried it; those who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64186]]></link><description><![CDATA[To have a great man for an intimate friend seems pleasant to those who have never tried it; those who have, fear it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No endeavour is in vain; Its reward is in the doing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50577]]></link><description><![CDATA[No endeavour is in vain; Its reward is in the doing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a series of little deaths out of which life always returns. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24888]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is a series of little deaths out of which life always returns.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What you have seen, O Americans, in New York and Washington and the losses you are having in Afghanistan and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29792]]></link><description><![CDATA[What you have seen, O Americans, in New York and Washington and the losses you are having in Afghanistan and Iraq, in spite of the blackouts by your media, are only the losses of the initial clashes. ...

This is testimony, the apostolic testimony, and this, with the energy of love, is the missionary motive. The insistent task of missionary education and responsibility is to engender this motive throughout the Church, a task that can only be accomplished as men are confronted anew with the message of the Bible and with its supreme and central story, the story of the cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Mellitus, First Bishop of London, 624  Sad, indeed, would the whole matter be if the Bible had ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8049]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Mellitus, First Bishop of London, 624  Sad, indeed, would the whole matter be if the Bible had told us everything God meant us to believe.
