At times we've had consistency, but we can't afford to have three plays and out or allow penalties to get us backed up. New Philadelphia is too good of a football team for us to do that.

By giving ourselves wholly to Him. If you give yourself by halves, you cannot find full rest -- there will ever be a lurking disquiet in that half which is withheld... All peace and happiness in this world depend upon unreserved self-oblation to God. If this be hearty and entire, the result will be an unfailing, ever-increasing happiness, which nothing can disturb. There is no real happiness in this life save that which is the result of a peaceful heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Magic] is not mere superstition.

It can corrupt people who otherwise carry on their daily duties with apparent reasonableness and common sense... It exploits man's urgent desire for all the material good things of life -- health, prosperity, success, "good luck" -- and at times, it may even descend to aggressive acts against one's competitors and supposed enemies and rivals. It rests upon an assumption, not always explicit, that divine power can be manipulated and used for human ends. And it is the more dangerous among people who assume that since God is love, He will do whatever they ask, provided they use the right formula in asking.   Magic mocks God's freedom no less than His purpose. For it binds men more and more in a prison of fear and selfishness. Far from liberating divine power, it shuts out the free and creative forces of love and self-sacrifice that alone ennoble life and remove the alienation of men one from another. Love, not compulsion, casts out fear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are countless ways of attaining greatness, but any road to reaching one's maximum potential must be built on a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18243]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are countless ways of attaining greatness, but any road to reaching one's maximum potential must be built on a bedrock of respect for the individual, a commitment to excellence, and a rejection of mediocrity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His locked, lettered, braw brass collar, Shewed him the gentleman and scholar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2720]]></link><description><![CDATA[His locked, lettered, braw brass collar, Shewed him the gentleman and scholar.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes a player's greatest challenge is coming to grips with his role on the team. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3774]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes a player's greatest challenge is coming to grips with his role on the team.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great men are always of a nature originally melancholy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58881]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great men are always of a nature originally melancholy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one ever attains very eminent success by simply doing what is required of him; it is the amount and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31354]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one ever attains very eminent success by simply doing what is required of him; it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required, that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not all who wander are lost. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64598]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not all who wander are lost.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The MiserA miser sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold, which he buried in a hole ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1542]]></link><description><![CDATA[The MiserA miser sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold, which he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at daily. One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is proud of the rustling of his silks, like a madman, laughs at the ratling of his fetters. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2730]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is proud of the rustling of his silks, like a madman, laughs at the ratling of his fetters.

But this was not the issue, quite. In this case the choice was between being a good Methodist and a good American, and being a tribal religionist. But the theological problem of churches without discipline comes into stark outline in the quotation. Inadequately trained for membership, admitted without preparatory training, without the proper instruments of voluntary discipline, many members have never had the discontinuity between life in Christ and life in the world brought home to them. Here the ordinary members are less at fault than the leadership of the churches, who -- though sworn to uphold the form of sound words and doctrine -- neglect catechetical instruction and concentrate solely on the acquisition of more new members at any price.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We did an OK job, but I wouldn't go so far as to say we played our best game.
