And one of the games to which it is most attached is called, ''Keep tomorrow dark,'' and which is also named (by the rustics in Shropshire, I have no doubt) ''Cheat the Prophet.'' The players listen very carefully and respectfully to all that the clever men have to say about what is to happen in the next generation. The players then wait until all the clever men are dead, and bury them nicely. Then they go and do something else. That is all. For a race of simple tastes, however, it is great fun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. - On the first moonwalk, July 20, 1969. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60230]]></link><description><![CDATA[That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. - On the first moonwalk, July 20, 1969.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindness, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64156]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindness, and small obligations given habitually, are what preserve the heart and secure comfort.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Water trotted is as good as oates. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50040]]></link><description><![CDATA[Water trotted is as good as oates.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Crispin & Crispinian, Martyrs at Rome, c.285  The basis of our Lord's appeal was himself.

"Follow me," "come unto me," and "ye will not come unto me," indicate sufficiently that what he offered to men was himself. He seeks to win men's acceptance of the truth that had come in him. His words and deeds served to indicate what manner of man he was and what kind of work he had come to do; and all the time it is a person addressing persons, seeking to gain their recognition of and their self-commitment to himself. He sought to exercise no authority over men that was not personal, both in the way it was exercised and in the way in which it was recognized and accepted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To the people I forgot, you weren't on my mind for some reason and you probably don't deserve any thanks ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66384]]></link><description><![CDATA[To the people I forgot, you weren't on my mind for some reason and you probably don't deserve any thanks anyway.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23698]]></link><description><![CDATA[If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them.

Sometimes migrating groups of potato-washers meet non-washers, and the two groups watch each other's strange behavior with apparent bewilderment. But unlike the inhabitants of Lilliput, who fought holy crusades over the question at which end to break the egg, the potato-washing monkeys do not go to war with the non-washers, because the poor creatures have no language which would enable them to declare washing a diving commandment and eating unwashed potatoes a deadly heresy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This year's nominations are a true reflection of the diversity that currently exists in Latin music, not only across genres ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35217]]></link><description><![CDATA[This year's nominations are a true reflection of the diversity that currently exists in Latin music, not only across genres but across generations as well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must make the best of those ills which cannot be avoided. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/578]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must make the best of those ills which cannot be avoided.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That team is good.
