A mother is born, too of course, but at least for her it's a gradual process. Body and soul, she has nine months to get used to what's happening. She becomes what's happening. But for even the best-prepared father, it happens all at once. On the other side of a plate-glass window, a nurse is holding up something roughly the size of a loaf of bread for him to see for the first time. Even if he should decide to abandon it forever ten minutes later, the memory will nag him to the grave. He has seen the creation of the world. It has his mark on it. He has its mark on him. Both marks are, for better or for worse, indelible. All sons, like all daughters, are prodigals if they're smart. Assuming the Old Man doesn't run out on them first, they will run out on him if they are to survive, and if he's smart he won't put up too much of a fuss. A wise father sees all this coming, and maybe that's why he keeps his distance from the start. He must survive too. Whether they ever find their way home again, none can say for sure, but it's the risk he must take if they're ever to find their way at all. In the meantime, the world tends to have a soft spot in its heart for lost children. Lost fathers have to fend for themselves. Even as the father lays down the law, he knows that someday his children will break it as they need to break it if ever they're to find something better than law to replace it. Until and unless that happens, there's no telling the scrapes they will get into trying to lose him and find themselves. Terrible blnders will be made-dissapointments and failures, hurts and losses of every kind. And they'll keep making them even after they've found themselves too, of course, because growing up is a process that goes on and on. And every hard knock they ever get, knocks the father even harder still, if that's possible, and if and when they finally come through more or less in one piece at the end, there's maybe no rejoicing greater than his in all creation. -Fatherhood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Civilization is the limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64627]]></link><description><![CDATA[Civilization is the limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Since nothing we intend is ever faultless, and nothing we attempt ever without error, and nothing we achieve without some ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53270]]></link><description><![CDATA[Since nothing we intend is ever faultless, and nothing we attempt ever without error, and nothing we achieve without some measure of finitude and fallibility we call humanness, we are saved by forgiveness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Bat and the WeaselsA BAT who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1512]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Bat and the WeaselsA BAT who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to be spared his life. The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped. It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great, good, and just, could I but rate My grief with thy too rigid fate,  I'd weep the world ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18341]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great, good, and just, could I but rate My grief with thy too rigid fate,  I'd weep the world in such a strain   As it should deluge once again;    But since thy loud-tongued blood demands supplies     More from Briareus' hands than Argus' eyes,      I'll sing thy obsequies with trumpet sounds       And write thy epitaph in blood and wounds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There isn't much to be seen in a little town, but what you hear makes up for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17913]]></link><description><![CDATA[There isn't much to be seen in a little town, but what you hear makes up for it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, what a blamed uncertain thing  This pesky weather is; It blew and snew and then it thew,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61488]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, what a blamed uncertain thing  This pesky weather is; It blew and snew and then it thew,  And now, by jing, it's friz!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only when we give joyfully, without hesitation or thought of gain, can we truly know what love means. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60950]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only when we give joyfully, without hesitation or thought of gain, can we truly know what love means.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm only 45, you always think you have something to offer and with someone like Kevin Sheedy, you'd certainly look ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35429]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm only 45, you always think you have something to offer and with someone like Kevin Sheedy, you'd certainly look at it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of course we have always had good players technically but in recent years we have not been able to convert ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41161]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of course we have always had good players technically but in recent years we have not been able to convert that talent into international success,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet half the beast is the great god Pan, To laugh, as he sits by the river,  Making a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43439]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet half the beast is the great god Pan, To laugh, as he sits by the river,  Making a poet out of a man.   The true gods sigh for the cost and the pain--    For the reed that grows never more again     As a reed with the reeds of the river.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A cup of hot wine with not a drop of allaying Tiber in 't. -Coriolanus.
