When I'm out on the field, I'm not scared of anyone. I'm just going to move the ball -- boom-boom , one-touch, two-touch -- and when the right time comes and I've got somebody one-on-one, I'll take him. But I'm not always going to have the greatest game of my life. There's going to be games when I absolutely suck. That happens to everybody. So it'll be up to me to regroup and try to find a way to bounce back.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thanks to words, we have been able to rise above the brutes; and thanks to words, we have often sunk ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24025]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thanks to words, we have been able to rise above the brutes; and thanks to words, we have often sunk to the level of the demons.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the tear that is wiped with a little address, May be follow'd perhaps by a smile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58794]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the tear that is wiped with a little address, May be follow'd perhaps by a smile.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the sword is once drawn, the passions of men observe no bounds of moderation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64494]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the sword is once drawn, the passions of men observe no bounds of moderation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Francis Xavier, Apostle of the Indies, Missionary, 1552  We see him exalting love for neighbor along with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6598]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Francis Xavier, Apostle of the Indies, Missionary, 1552  We see him exalting love for neighbor along with love for God. He reaches out to foreigners who are beyond the borders of the "Israel of God". He seeks the release of captives, prisoners, and slaves. He denounces the scribes and religious leaders who "devour the houses of widows". Despite his well-known requirement of loyalty that surpasses family ties, he insists that a man put the care of his own parents ahead of his obligations to his religion. His treatment of women is radically opposed to the strictures of that day. He exhibits sympathy and understanding toward children. He operates an out-patient clinic wherever he happens to be. He insists upon justice as the basis for everyday dealings between citizens. The social teaching of parables like "the good Samaritan" and incidents such as the encounter with the rich young ruler have had an effect upon his followers that cannot easily be measured. If one summary statement of Jesus' ethics can be made, it is that love of God is best shown by love of fellow men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Health and cheerfulness mutually beget each other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18914]]></link><description><![CDATA[Health and cheerfulness mutually beget each other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perceptions are real.

Of what I have learnt from these documents in the course of my long task, I will say nothing now. Only this, that they bear the seal of the Son of Man and God, they are the Magna Charta of the human spirit. Were we to devote to their comprehension a little of the selfless enthusiasm that is now expended on the riddle of our physical surroundings, we would cease to say that Christianity is coming to an end -- we might even feel that it had only just begun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A blow with a word strikes deeper than a blow with a sword. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4662]]></link><description><![CDATA[A blow with a word strikes deeper than a blow with a sword.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intellects whose desires have outstripped their understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35198]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intellects whose desires have outstripped their understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are excited, but there are more games left.

There is an apparent contradiction here, for how can we abide, and yet advance? It is a paradox, like much else in scripture; but Christian experience proves it true. Those make the best progress in religion who hold fast by the faith once for all delivered to the saints, and not those who drift away from their moorings, rudderless upon a sea of doubt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Given the amount of unjust suffering and unhappiness in the world, I am deeply grateful for, sometimes even perplexed by, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60090]]></link><description><![CDATA[Given the amount of unjust suffering and unhappiness in the world, I am deeply grateful for, sometimes even perplexed by, how much misery I have been spared.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a sad state of affairs that we have only one choice (for abortion) right now.
