Most of the time, those players aren't willing tosacrifice for the greater good of the team. The funny thing is, inthe end, their unwillingness to sacrifice only makes individualgoals more difficult to achieve. One thing I believe to the fullestis that if you think and achieve as a team, the individual accoladeswill take care of themselves. Talent wins games, but teamwork andintelligence win championships.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now, my lips are sewn with thread so thinpostpoems.com. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1910]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now, my lips are sewn with thread so thinpostpoems.com.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That was a no-brainer because my father played football, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38883]]></link><description><![CDATA[That was a no-brainer because my father played football,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When [he] kisses you he isn't doing anything else.

We must try to show them that that impossibility is an essential part of the doctrine. If you do not believe our Lord's words, why do you believe in His return at all? And if you do believe them, must you not put away from you, utterly and forever, any hope of dating that return?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgiveness is about empowering yourself, rather than empowering your past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65217]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forgiveness is about empowering yourself, rather than empowering your past.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957  For the Platonic or Aristotelian philosophy it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6904]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957  For the Platonic or Aristotelian philosophy it is of no importance whether Plato or Aristotle ever lived. For the mystical practice of an Indian, Persian, Chinese, or Neo-Platonic mystic it is a matter of indifference whether Rama, Buddha, Laotse, or Porphyrius are myths or not. The mystic has no personal relation to them. It is not here a question of somebody telling me the truth which of myself I cannot find, but of my finding an access to the depths of the world in the depths of my soul. And everywhere the tendency is to eliminate personality. Even where religion does not have this mystical character, it has no relation to an historical person, who communicates himself to me. That is the characteristic essence of the Christian faith alone. Even where a prophet plays the role of a mediator of divine truth, as for example in Islam, the religious act is not directed toward him but toward his teaching or message. But the Christian does not believe in the teachings of Jesus -- which would not be Christian faith, but general religion -- he believes in Christ Himself as being the Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most difficult task facing us today is to persuade the person who is enjoying Christian culture and Christian standards ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7635]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most difficult task facing us today is to persuade the person who is enjoying Christian culture and Christian standards that these do not survive of themselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The brave Love mercy, and delight to save. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4853]]></link><description><![CDATA[The brave Love mercy, and delight to save.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truly some men there be That live always in great horrour,  And say it goeth by destiny   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12058]]></link><description><![CDATA[Truly some men there be That live always in great horrour,  And say it goeth by destiny   To hang or wed: both hath one hour;    And whether it be, I am well sure,     Hanging is better of the twain;      Sooner done, and shorter pain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a job's worth doing, it's too hard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18730]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a job's worth doing, it's too hard.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you could runne, as you drinke, you might catch a hare. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49521]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you could runne, as you drinke, you might catch a hare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He rolls it under his tongue as a sweet morsel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13197]]></link><description><![CDATA[He rolls it under his tongue as a sweet morsel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let this be understood, then, at starting; that the patient conquest of difficulties which rise in the regular and legitimate ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53297]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let this be understood, then, at starting; that the patient conquest of difficulties which rise in the regular and legitimate channels of business and enterprise is not only essential in securing the success which you seek but it is essential to that preparation of your mind, requisite for the enjoyment of your successes, and for retaining them when gained.
