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[Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18795]]></link><description><![CDATA[Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whence and what are thou, execrable shape? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2784]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whence and what are thou, execrable shape?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(Pedro:) Your silence most offends me, and to be merry best becomes you for out o' question you were born ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27425]]></link><description><![CDATA[(Pedro:) Your silence most offends me, and to be merry best becomes you for out o' question you were born in a merry hour. (Beatrice:) No, sure, my lord, my mother cried; but then there was a star danced, and under that was I born.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christina never called me names, which was very sweet.

For one thing, it implies that we have no spiritual ambition, else we should not be satisfied with such poor lives; that we cannot have thought out the fact of Jesus Christ, and how immeasurably He has raised the standard. Will you hang your wretched daubs beside the works of Titian and Michelangelo and not be shamed by the enormous contrast -- stand back and say, with a satisfied smirk, "That is pretty good, you know!"? And can you live face to face with Jesus Christ, and be content with what you are?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For murder though it have no tongue, will speak With most miraculous organ. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51256]]></link><description><![CDATA[For murder though it have no tongue, will speak With most miraculous organ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not mix de galloping of your horse, my knight, with the beating of your heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53183]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not mix de galloping of your horse, my knight, with the beating of your heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After 30 years of devastation, we are starting from nothing and any move such as this helps the reconstruction of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40051]]></link><description><![CDATA[After 30 years of devastation, we are starting from nothing and any move such as this helps the reconstruction of Afghanistan.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you go out like that at home, it hurts.
