I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. 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. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Concluding a short series on education:   The devout student is the best of all students.

There are too many who are devout, but not students. They will not accept the discipline of study and of learning, and they even look with suspicion upon the further knowledge which study brings to men. There are equally too many who are students, but not devout. They are interested too much in intellectual knowledge, and too little in the life of prayer and in the life of service of their fellow men. A man would do well to aim at being not only a student, and not only devout, but at being a devout student.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know that if I can't move people, then I have no business being an actor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28706]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know that if I can't move people, then I have no business being an actor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discipline is wisdom and vice versa. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22094]]></link><description><![CDATA[Discipline is wisdom and vice versa.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never tell.

By individual depravity, I mean my own. I find it out in myself; or, rather, He who searcheth me and trieth my ways, finds it out in me. That sense of depravity implies the recognition of a law from which I have broken loose, of a Divine image which my character has not resembled. It is the law and the order which are universal. It is this character of Christ which is the true human character. It is easy enough to own to a general depravity; under cover of it, you and I would escape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chess is the most elaborate waste of human intelligence outside of an advertising agency. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5862]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chess is the most elaborate waste of human intelligence outside of an advertising agency.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was something totally unique and I am not sure I've ever felt it since, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40850]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was something totally unique and I am not sure I've ever felt it since,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No matter how old a mother is she watches her middle-aged children for signs of improvement.rn ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64145]]></link><description><![CDATA[No matter how old a mother is she watches her middle-aged children for signs of improvement.rn]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without courage all virtues lose their meaning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10261]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without courage all virtues lose their meaning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A son can bear with equanimity the loss of his father, but the loss of his inheritance may drive him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63399]]></link><description><![CDATA[A son can bear with equanimity the loss of his father, but the loss of his inheritance may drive him to despair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't put too fine a point to your wit for fear it should get blunted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61812]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't put too fine a point to your wit for fear it should get blunted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a real shock, and I felt bad for his wife and family.
