The wider that strip of land and the more sensitive the player is to the changing composition of the ground under his feet as he pursues the ball, the more effective the warning. Romanticizing or lionizing as "individualistic" those people who disregard social cues and inducements increases the danger of head-on collisions with inherent social limits. Decrying various forms of social disapproval is in effect narrowing the warning strip.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have nothing against him.

Now, we cannot get over this plain fact by saying that it was a religious ceremony: that would be mere sophistry. It was an indulgence in the festivity of life; as plainly as words can describe, here was a banquet of human enjoyment. The very language of the master of the feast about men who had well drunk, tells us that there had been, not excess, of course, but happiness there, and merry-making. Neither can we explain away the lesson by saying that it is no example to us, for Christ was there to do good, and that what was safe for Him might be unsafe for us. For if His life is no pattern for us here in this case of accepting an invitation, in what can we be sure it is a pattern? Besides, He took His disciples there, and His mother was there: they were not shielded, as He was, by immaculate purity. He was there as a guest first, as Messiah only afterwards: thereby He declared the sacredness of natural enjoyments.... For Christianity does not destroy what is natural, but ennobles it. To turn water into wine, and what is common into what is holy, is indeed the glory of Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good lawyer is a bad neighbor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24359]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good lawyer is a bad neighbor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Errors are not in the art but in the artificers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65430]]></link><description><![CDATA[Errors are not in the art but in the artificers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts. I am no orator, as Brutus is,  But (as you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45248]]></link><description><![CDATA[I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts. I am no orator, as Brutus is,  But (as you know me all) a plain blunt man   That love my friend; and that they know full well    That gave me public leave to speak of him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who first invented work, and bound the free And holyday-rejoicing spirit down . . .  To that dry drudgery ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62127]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who first invented work, and bound the free And holyday-rejoicing spirit down . . .  To that dry drudgery at the desk's dead wood? . . .   Sabbathless Satan!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Borrowing is not much better than begging. [Ger., Borgen ist nicht viel besser als betteln.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3926]]></link><description><![CDATA[Borrowing is not much better than begging. [Ger., Borgen ist nicht viel besser als betteln.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He ploughs in sand, and sows against the wind, That hopes for constant love of woman kind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14920]]></link><description><![CDATA[He ploughs in sand, and sows against the wind, That hopes for constant love of woman kind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14920</guid></item></channel></rss>
