You pull and you pull, but you can't get the rock out of the ground. So you give it a good kick, but you lose your balance and go skidding down the hill toward the pool. Then out comes a big Hawaiian man who was screwing his wife beside the pool because they thought it was real pretty. He tells you to get out of there, but you start faking it, like you're talking Hawaiian, and then he gets mad and chases you...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the Seven was wont to say: "That laws were like cobwebs; where the small flies were caught, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24240]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the Seven was wont to say: "That laws were like cobwebs; where the small flies were caught, and the great brake through."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62890]]></link><description><![CDATA[Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No member of a crew is praised for the rugged individuality of his rowing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58773]]></link><description><![CDATA[No member of a crew is praised for the rugged individuality of his rowing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had very little confidence in myself as an actress. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42246]]></link><description><![CDATA[I had very little confidence in myself as an actress.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19743]]></link><description><![CDATA[May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human enough hope to make you happy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't ever be afraid to step out and do something different. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40084]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't ever be afraid to step out and do something different.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13424]]></link><description><![CDATA[The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most likely way for the world to be destroyed, most experts agree, is by accident.

The Christian is not a homo religiosus but a man, pure and simple, just as Jesus became man... It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to believe. One must abandon every attempt to make something of oneself, whether it be a saint, a converted sinner, a churchman, a righteous man, or an unrighteous one, a sick man or a healthy one... This is what I mean by worldliness -- taking life in one's stride, with all its duties and problems, its successes and failures, its experiences and helplessness... How can success make us arrogant or failure lead us astray, when we participate in the sufferings of God by living in this world?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be nobody but yourself in a world that's doing its best to make you somebody else, is to fight ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12724]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be nobody but yourself in a world that's doing its best to make you somebody else, is to fight the hardest battle you are ever going to fight.
