That's pretty unbelievable. It's definitely something I want to help him achieve. Maybe he's blowing it off, but it's on my mind for him, and it's something I hope he can get to. But I think he's just going to play his game. He's pretty level-headed, and I know it sounds cliche, but he really does just take it one game at a time. And that's good on his part just to stay focused. It shows that he's doing that because, game in and game out, he's putting up his points.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too long, that some may rest, Tired millions toil unblest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62157]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too long, that some may rest, Tired millions toil unblest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quotations offer one kind of break in what the eye can see, the ear can hear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52868]]></link><description><![CDATA[Quotations offer one kind of break in what the eye can see, the ear can hear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ants never sleep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2672]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ants never sleep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three things in human life are important.

Hence a man's reaction to Monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be "debunked"; but watch the faces, mark well the accents, of the debunkers.

Yet even if they desire mere equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king, they honour millionaires, athletes, or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear stops a lot of people.
