The wider that strip of land and the more sensitive the player is to the changing composition of the ground under his feet as he pursues the ball, the more effective the warning. Romanticizing or lionizing as "individualistic" those people who disregard social cues and inducements increases the danger of head-on collisions with inherent social limits. Decrying various forms of social disapproval is in effect narrowing the warning strip.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Panurge had a flea in his ear. [Fr., Panurge auoyt la pulee en l' oreille.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16214]]></link><description><![CDATA[Panurge had a flea in his ear. [Fr., Panurge auoyt la pulee en l' oreille.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom comes by disillusionment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12548]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom comes by disillusionment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let the poor man mind his tongue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50740]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let the poor man mind his tongue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Example has more followers than reason.

Take heed to yourselves: love them. In no way can thy enemy so hurt thee by his violence, as thou dost hurt thyself if thou love him not. And let it not seem to you impossible to love him. Believe first that it can be done, and pray that the will of God may be done in you. For what good can thy neighbor's ill do to thee? If he had no ill, he would not even be thine enemy. Wish him well, then, that he may end his ill, and he will be thine enemy no longer. For it is not the human nature in him that is at enmity with thee, but his sin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prejudice cannot see the things that are because it is always looking for things that aren't ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48093]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prejudice cannot see the things that are because it is always looking for things that aren't]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Punishment is lame, but it comes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49725]]></link><description><![CDATA[Punishment is lame, but it comes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot tailor-make the situations in life but you can tailor-make the attitudes to fit those situations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65475]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot tailor-make the situations in life but you can tailor-make the attitudes to fit those situations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great men have reaching hands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51319]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great men have reaching hands.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first day I arrived, they told me to go home and get rid of that cold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39356]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first day I arrived, they told me to go home and get rid of that cold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is perfectly monstrous the way people go about nowadayssaying things against one, behind one's back, that are absolutely and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17895]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is perfectly monstrous the way people go about nowadayssaying things against one, behind one's back, that are absolutely and entirely true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this country men seem to live for action as long as they can and sink into apathy when they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1270]]></link><description><![CDATA[In this country men seem to live for action as long as they can and sink into apathy when they retire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is in hell a place stone-built throughout, Called Malebolge, of an iron hue,  Like to the wall that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19132]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is in hell a place stone-built throughout, Called Malebolge, of an iron hue,  Like to the wall that circles it about.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Babies haven't any hair; Old men's heads are just as bare; between the cradle and the grave lie a haircut ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27836]]></link><description><![CDATA[Babies haven't any hair; Old men's heads are just as bare; between the cradle and the grave lie a haircut and a shave.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who devotes sixteen hours a day to hard study may become at sixty as wise as he thought himself ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8012]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who devotes sixteen hours a day to hard study may become at sixty as wise as he thought himself at twenty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the lay public rallies round to an idea that is denounced by distinguished by elderly scientists and supports the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9497]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the lay public rallies round to an idea that is denounced by distinguished by elderly scientists and supports the idea with great fervour and emotion, the distinguished but elderly scientests are then, after all, right. -Isaac Asimov.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I play [golf] with friends sometimes, but there are never friendly games. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57566]]></link><description><![CDATA[I play [golf] with friends sometimes, but there are never friendly games.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am tired and sick of war.
