I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove that you don't need it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43003]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove that you don't need it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26899]]></link><description><![CDATA[People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rarer action is In virtue than in vengeance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60470]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rarer action is In virtue than in vengeance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talent alone cannot make a writer.

The old prophets, when they would describe things emphatically, did not only draw parables from things which offered themselves, as from the rent of a garment, ... from the vessels of a potter, ... but also, when such objects were wanting, they supplied them by their own actions, as by rending a garment, ... by shooting, ... etc. By such types the prophets loved to speak. And Christ, being endued with a nobler prophet spirit than the rest, excelled also in this kind of speaking, yet so as not to speak by His own actions -- [which would have been] less grave and decent -- but to turn into parables such things as offered themselves. On occasion of the harvest approaching, He admonishes His disciples once and again of the spiritual harvest. Seeing the lilies of the field, He admonishes His disciples about clothing. In allusion to the present season of fruits, He admonishes His disciples about knowing men by their fruits. In the time of the Passover, when trees put forth their leaves, He bids His disciples, "learn a parable from the fig-tree".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our effort was there, but when you don't shoot the ball well, you're not going to win.
