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[It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful.

The best way to get great ideas is to get lots of ideas and throw the bad ones away. 2. Create ideas that are 15 minutes ahead of their time...not light years ahead. 3. Always look for a second right answer. 4. If at first you don't succeed, take a break. 5. Write down your ideas before you forget them. 6. If everyone says you are wrong, you're one step ahead. If everyone laughs at you, you're two steps ahead. 7. The answer to your problem "pre-exists." You need to ask the right question to reveal the answer. 8. When you ask a dumb question, you get a smart answer. 9. Never solve a problem from its original perspective. 10. Visualize your problem as solved before solving it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is curious - curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10255]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is curious - curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bird of Jove, stoop'd from his aery tour, Two birds of gayest plume before him drove. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13096]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bird of Jove, stoop'd from his aery tour, Two birds of gayest plume before him drove.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Editors may think of themselves as dignified headwaiters in a well-run restaurant but more often they operate a snack bar ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13353]]></link><description><![CDATA[Editors may think of themselves as dignified headwaiters in a well-run restaurant but more often they operate a snack bar and expect you to be grateful that at least they got the food to the table warm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How do I love thee?

Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints, -I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good neighbor is a fellow who smiles at you over the back fence, but doesn't climb over it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56654]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good neighbor is a fellow who smiles at you over the back fence, but doesn't climb over it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think that Spanish people are showing again their strength, their solidarity, and the common effort in order to overcome ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39085]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think that Spanish people are showing again their strength, their solidarity, and the common effort in order to overcome the atrocities of pain and terrorism,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love, the itch, and a cough cannot be hid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25793]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love, the itch, and a cough cannot be hid.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25793</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When people go to work, they shouldn't have to leave their hearts at home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15818]]></link><description><![CDATA[When people go to work, they shouldn't have to leave their hearts at home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of George Herbert, Priest, Poet, 1633 It's true we cannot reach Christ's forti'th day Yet to go part of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7920]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of George Herbert, Priest, Poet, 1633 It's true we cannot reach Christ's forti'th day Yet to go part of that religious way   Is better than to rest: We cannot reach our Savior's purity; Yet we are bid, 'Be holy ev'n as He':   In both let's do our best.

You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then - to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn." Ropo Oguntimehin Education is a companion which no future can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate it and no nepotism can enslave. -T.H.
