The wider that strip of land and the more sensitive the player is to the changing composition of the ground under his feet as he pursues the ball, the more effective the warning. Romanticizing or lionizing as "individualistic" those people who disregard social cues and inducements increases the danger of head-on collisions with inherent social limits. Decrying various forms of social disapproval is in effect narrowing the warning strip.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was perfect tennis weather. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38654]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was perfect tennis weather.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The responsible choice would be to honor those who have worn our nation's uniform, but the administration made a different ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18971]]></link><description><![CDATA[The responsible choice would be to honor those who have worn our nation's uniform, but the administration made a different choice.

Half of the secular unrest and dismal, profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain idea that every man is bound to be a critic of life, and to let no day pass without finding some fault with the general order of things, or projecting some plan for its general improvement. And the other half comes from the greedy notion that a man's life does consist, after all, in the abundance of things that he possesseth, and that it is, somehow or other, more respectable and pious to be always at work trying to make a larger living, than it is to lie on your back in the green pastures and beside the still waters, and thank God that you are alive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22459]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cosmetic surgery and poker are popular right now. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30411]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cosmetic surgery and poker are popular right now.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humor is richly rewarding to the person who employs it.
