The league thought we weren't good citizens, so we have to abide with what they ruled. The league thinks if one team does it, everybody is going to do it, and it would set a precedent by letting everybody go there and get benefits above and beyond what the collective bargaining agreement calls for. I don't agree or disagree. That's what the league is ruling, and I'm going to abide by it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is prudent to learn what to avoid from the misfortunes of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51621]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is prudent to learn what to avoid from the misfortunes of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's indebtedness is not virtue; his repayment is.

You will never get them open by philosophy or thinking. Immediately you obey, a flash of light comes. Let God's truth work in you by soaking in it, not by worrying into it. Obey God in the thing He is at present showing you, and instantly the next thing is opened up. We read tomes on the work of the Holy Spirit when... five minutes of drastic obedience would make things clear as a sunbeam. We say, "I suppose I shall understand these things some day." You can understand them now: it is not study that does it, but obedience. The tiniest fragment of obedience, and heaven opens up and the profoundest truths of God are yours straight away. God will never reveal more truth about Himself till you obey what you know already. Beware of being wise and prudent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whether you wind up with a nest egg or a goose egg depends on the kind of chick you married ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61451]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whether you wind up with a nest egg or a goose egg depends on the kind of chick you married]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Progress is the process whereby the human race is getting rid of whiskers, the veriform appendix and God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48379]]></link><description><![CDATA[Progress is the process whereby the human race is getting rid of whiskers, the veriform appendix and God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women relate to Ivana because she suffered.
