He has all the shots. Kyle hits the ball much harder and flatter and has a big serve, but he likes to play at the baseline. Kevin has the more all-around game and likes to go to the net, but he's not nearly as powerful as Kyle. They don't look like they started at the same academy, which in a sense is good. Kids don't all need to be taught the same way because they have different strengths.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Saint: A dead sinner revised and edited. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54652]]></link><description><![CDATA[Saint: A dead sinner revised and edited.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope is the poore mans bread. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49496]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope is the poore mans bread.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It might sound a paradoxical thing to say --for surely never has a generation of children occupied more sheer hours ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5976]]></link><description><![CDATA[It might sound a paradoxical thing to say --for surely never has a generation of children occupied more sheer hours of parental time --but the truth is that we neglected you. We allowed you a charade of trivial freedoms in order to avoid making those impositions on you that are in the end both the training ground and proving ground for true independence. We pronounced you strong when you were still weak in order to avoid the struggles with you that would have fed your true strength. We proclaimed you sound when you were foolish in order to avoid taking part in the long, slow, slogging effort that is the only route to genuine maturity of mind and feeling. Thus, it was no small anomaly of your growing up that while you were the most indulged generation, you were also in many ways the most abandoned to your own meager devices by those into whose safe-keeping you had been given.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flowers are words Which even a babe may understand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16263]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flowers are words Which even a babe may understand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Early in my business career I learned the folly of worrying about anything.

There is no breaking through this law of our being. Every attempt to do so proves itself in experience to be futile. Hence we are in a more helpless state of bondage than that which materialistic determinism holds; for the tyrant is established within our own consciousness. One way, and one way only, out of this bondage remains. If we can discover how to make our own immediate desire, and the act of will springing out of it, accord with the supreme law of our being, then to "do as we like" will no longer be to run our heads against the stone wall of necessity which shuts us out from the heaven of satisfaction. For we shall only "like" doing what we "ought". This introduces a new sense of the word "freedom". It does not now mean freedom from restrains to follow our desires, but freedom from the tyranny of futile desires to follow what is really good. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Crab and Its MotherA crab said to her son, Why do you walk so one-sided, my child?
