I had the opportunity to serve as a bishop in a campus ward while I was still an assistant coach. When I was appointed head football coach in 1972, I decided to approach my role as a coach much the same as I did as a bishop, delegating responsibility to my assistants, putting responsibility on the players for self-improvement in all aspects of their lives, and using personal interviews with players to try to give positive reinforcement and encouragement so that they might do their very best and reach their full potential, both on and off the field.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most pitiful among men is he who turns his dreams into silver and gold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12949]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most pitiful among men is he who turns his dreams into silver and gold.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66260]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of course he's going to tell you about all the great benefits, ...

There is hope in the heart that chases the clouds away. Hope is a higher heart frequency and as you begin to reconnect with your heart, hope is waiting to show you new possibilities and arrest the downward spiral of grief and loneliness. It becomes a matter of how soon you want the sun to shine. Listening to the still, small voice in your heart will make hope into a reality. Sara Paddison, The Hidden Power of the Heart Hope is a higher heart frequency, and as you begin to re-connect with your heart, hope is waiting to show you new possibilities and arrest the downward spiral of grief and loneliness. Listening to the still small voice in your heart will make hope into a reality.

This is extremely difficult for us, because Jesus was careful to give men no external guarantee that he was, in fact, God in the flesh. Otherwise, he realized, we would not be worshipping him, but would only be worshipping or trusting in the guarantee, whatever it might be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Self - praise is no recommendation ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47999]]></link><description><![CDATA[Self - praise is no recommendation]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47999</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The orange that is too hard squeezed yields a bitter juice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51028]]></link><description><![CDATA[The orange that is too hard squeezed yields a bitter juice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fighting without concert, they suffer universal defeat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51662]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fighting without concert, they suffer universal defeat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a great release for us.
