A hard necessity that is, not to want something which can not be avoided. If it could be managed, we would much rather not die; we would like to become like the angels by some other means than death. "We have a building from God," says St. Paul, "a home not made with hands, everlasting in heaven. For indeed we groan, longing to be clothed over with our dwelling from heaven; provided, though we be found clothed, and not naked. For indeed we who are in this dwelling place groan, being burdened; in that we do not wish to be stripped, but to covered over, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life." We want to reach the kingdom of God, but we don't want to travel by way of death. And yet there stands Necessity saying: "This way, please." Do you hesitate, man, to go this way, when this is the way that God came to you?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And gentle Dulness ever loves a joke. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50920]]></link><description><![CDATA[And gentle Dulness ever loves a joke.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It took me 17 years to get 3,000 hits, but I did it in one afternoon on the golf course. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17809]]></link><description><![CDATA[It took me 17 years to get 3,000 hits, but I did it in one afternoon on the golf course.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth is what works. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65197]]></link><description><![CDATA[Truth is what works.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is notone's better abilities or ideas, but the courage that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22445]]></link><description><![CDATA[Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is notone's better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet onhis ideas, to take a calculated risk-and to act.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It costs more to doe ill then to doe well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49558]]></link><description><![CDATA[It costs more to doe ill then to doe well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a very high-energy activity.
