On the most general level, they're an explicit acknowledgment that what you're doing is insufficiently interesting or rewarding for you to do it on your own. Nobody ever gave you a grade for learning how to play, how to ride a bicycle, or how to kiss. One of the best ways to destroy love for any of these activities would be through the use of grades, and the coercion and judgment they represent. Grades are a cudgel to bludgeon the unwilling into doing what they don't want to do, an important instrument in inculcating children into a lifelong subservience to whatever authority happens to be thrust over them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The truth that many people never understand, until it is too late, is that the more that you try to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24959]]></link><description><![CDATA[The truth that many people never understand, until it is too late, is that the more that you try to avoid suffering, the more you suffer, because smaller and more insignificant things begin to torture you in proportion to your fear of being hurt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talke much and erre much, saies the Spanyard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49785]]></link><description><![CDATA[Talke much and erre much, saies the Spanyard.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49785</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life, to me, is like a quiet forest pool, one that needs a direct hit from a big rock half-buried ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11778]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life, to me, is like a quiet forest pool, one that needs a direct hit from a big rock half-buried in the ground. You pull and you pull, but you can't get the rock out of the ground. So you give it a good kick, but you lose your balance and go skidding down the hill toward the pool. Then out comes a big Hawaiian man who was screwing his wife beside the pool because they thought it was real pretty. He tells you to get out of there, but you start faking it, like you're talking Hawaiian, and then he gets mad and chases you...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not on thy sole, but on thy soul, harsh Jew, Thou mak'st thy knife keen; but no metal can--  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14032]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not on thy sole, but on thy soul, harsh Jew, Thou mak'st thy knife keen; but no metal can--  No, not the hangman's axe--bear half the keenness   Of thy sharp envy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever come to sit by it.
