The best games are not those in which all goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those in which the outcome is always in doubt. Similarly, the geometry of life is designed to keep us at the point of maximum tension between certainty and uncertainty, order and chaos. Every important call is a close one. We survive and evolve by the skin of our teeth. We really wouldn't want it any other way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are judged of by what you possess. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50400]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are judged of by what you possess.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's always impressive when talented comedians are easy laughers or generous with their laughs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36254]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's always impressive when talented comedians are easy laughers or generous with their laughs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Extravagance is the luxury of the poor; penury is the luxury of the rich ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14766]]></link><description><![CDATA[Extravagance is the luxury of the poor; penury is the luxury of the rich]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hmm, I do want to perform in Turin a little bit, but not being able to do so doesn't upset ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41392]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hmm, I do want to perform in Turin a little bit, but not being able to do so doesn't upset me all that much.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4873]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever a theory appears to you as the only possible one, take this as a sign that you have neither ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59103]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever a theory appears to you as the only possible one, take this as a sign that you have neither understood the theory nor the problem which it was intended to solve]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our target is to find an academy player and bring him through to the first team in two years' time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35075]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our target is to find an academy player and bring him through to the first team in two years' time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a great opportunity for us to meet the people in the community and outline the way they can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29269]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a great opportunity for us to meet the people in the community and outline the way they can benefit from our project.
