And this often in all sincerity. But, at other times, we are not really much disturbed about it; or, at least, not nearly so much as our heaped-up language would imply. What we imagine that we are achieving through this unreality I do not know. We shall not fool the All-wise; nor induce Him to believe that we are anything other, or better, than we actually are! Were it not saner to tell Him the truth, exactly as it is -- not that we are overwhelmed with sorrow for our sinfulness, if it is not so; but rather this, that, to all our other sinfulness, we have added this last and crowning sinfulness, that we are not much worried about it, or, at least, not nearly as much as we ought to be. Be pleased, in pity, to grant us such measure of sorrow for our failures as will lead us to a true repentance; and, through that, to a new way of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nucleus is there on the line, but the depth is a major, major question. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31718]]></link><description><![CDATA[The nucleus is there on the line, but the depth is a major, major question.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prosperity doth best discover vice, but adversity doth best discover virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/709]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prosperity doth best discover vice, but adversity doth best discover virtue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(We) just had to come together as a team and focus to pick up the intensity, on defense especially.

For an achievement does not settle anything permanently. We still have to prove our worth anew each day: we have to prove that we are as good today as we were yesterday. But when we have a valid alibi for not achieving anything we are fixed, so to speak, for life. Moreover, when we have an alibi for not writing a book, painting a picture, and so on, we have an alibi for not writing the greatest book and not painting the greatest picture. Small wonder that the effort expended and the punishment endured in obtaining a good alibi often exceed the effort and grief requisite for the attainment of a most marked achievement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I have made an appointment with you, I owe you punctuality, I have no right to throw away your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3989]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I have made an appointment with you, I owe you punctuality, I have no right to throw away your time, if I do my own]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can dream it, you can do it.
