I think it might have been one of those instances where they were young kids and they have not been here before and they tensed up a little and took those 3-pointers. But, you look at that team and they are so well coached. My guys didn't mind being on defense at the end and I think they were confident and comfortable because they had been in that situation before. The experience of being in the championship game before definitely paid off for us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh! the good times when we were so unhappy. [Fr., Oh le bon temps ou etions si malheureux.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45674]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh! the good times when we were so unhappy. [Fr., Oh le bon temps ou etions si malheureux.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The key to wisdom is knowing all the right questions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61761]]></link><description><![CDATA[The key to wisdom is knowing all the right questions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61761</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59755]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You won't find anyone more composed closer to goal.

He observes many different kinds of peace prevailing in the world he inhabits. Not all of them are good. For example, there is the peace that death brings, the peace of the tomb. Today it could be called the peace of Auschwitz. Hitler tried to "make peace" with the Jews by seeking their "final solution"; but the evangelical would fight rather than submit to such a peace. There is also the peace of slavery and subjection, the Pax Romana. Dictators are very fond of the Roman peace. Today it could be called the peace of Tibet. The nation of Tibet has been completely stripped of its personality in our generation by Communist China without a single protest being made in front of a single embassy. Again, there is peace that is artificially induced in men. Among individuals it is the peace of the tranquilizer, the peace of withdrawal and schizophrenia, the peace of the brain-washed prisoner. Should large-scale chemical warfare break our, we are told, whole cities could be sprayed and pacified by such drugs. The evangelical is not interested in paying such high prices for the sake of peace. He would rather stay free, and alive, and in his right mind, prepared to fight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rain, rain, and sun! a rainbow in the sky! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52954]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rain, rain, and sun! a rainbow in the sky!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know it so it goes on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2635]]></link><description><![CDATA[Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know it so it goes on flying anyway.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mass production is for the masses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48310]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mass production is for the masses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can only perceive real beauty in a person as they get older ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29457]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can only perceive real beauty in a person as they get older]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That possession which we gain by the sword is not lasting; gratitude for benefits eternal. [Lat., Non est diuturna possessio ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18162]]></link><description><![CDATA[That possession which we gain by the sword is not lasting; gratitude for benefits eternal. [Lat., Non est diuturna possessio in quam gladio ducimus; beneficiorum gratia sempiterna est.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage is the only war in which you sleep with the enemy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61144]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage is the only war in which you sleep with the enemy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The inertia of the human mind and its resistance to innovation are most clearly demonstrated not, as one might expect, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52021]]></link><description><![CDATA[The inertia of the human mind and its resistance to innovation are most clearly demonstrated not, as one might expect, by the ignorant mass- which is easily swayed once its imagination is caught- but by professionals with a vested interest in tradition and in the monopoly of learning. Innovation is a twofold threat to academic mediocrities: it endangers their oracular authority, and it evokes the deeper fear that their whole, laboriously constructed intellectual edifice might collapse. The academic backwoodsmen have been the curse of genius from Aristarchus to Darwin and Freud; they stretch, a solid and hostile phalanx of pedantic mediocrities, across the centuries.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As long as a man stands in his own way, everything seems to be in his way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44830]]></link><description><![CDATA[As long as a man stands in his own way, everything seems to be in his way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who could foresee affairs three days in advance would be rich for thousands of years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60862]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who could foresee affairs three days in advance would be rich for thousands of years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pirates could happen to anyone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59062]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pirates could happen to anyone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[worked together as effectively as the terrorists do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40149]]></link><description><![CDATA[worked together as effectively as the terrorists do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I mumble a lot off-stage, I'm a mumbler.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. {5} It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. {6} Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. {7} It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. {8} Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. {9} For we know in part and we prophesy in part, {10} but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. {11} When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. {12} Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. {13} And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bigamy is having one wife too many.
