Poor, timorous, faithless souls that we are! How we shall smile at our vain alarms, when the worst has happened! To us here, death is the most terrible word we know. But when we have tasted its reality, it will mean to us birth, deliverance, a new creation of ourselves. It will be what health is to the sick man. It will be what home is to the exile. It will be what the loved one given back is to the bereaved. As we draw near to it, a great solemn gladness should fill our hearts. It is God's great morning lighting up the sky.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be careful that victories do not carry the seed of future defeats. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11799]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be careful that victories do not carry the seed of future defeats.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody is aware of how to kill the birds.

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.
