Let us live while we live; let us be alive and doing; let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish. Let us believe what we do not see and know. Let us forestall knowledge by faith. Let us maintain before we have demonstrated. This seeming paradox is the secret of happiness. Why should we be unwilling to go by faith? We do all things in this world by faith in the word of others. By faith only do we know our position in the world, our circumstances, our rights and privileges, our fortunes, our parents, our brothers and sisters, our age, our mortality. Why should Religion be an exception? Why should we be unwilling to use for heavenly objects what we daily use for earthly?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17429]]></link><description><![CDATA[Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obviously, with the amount of ice time I was getting, the situation with our team, it wasn't a shocker.

I enjoy my family and cutting the grass at home. There's more in life than golf. I enjoy the game but I don't know if I could do it every day. If I go practice, I practice for an hour. The guys out here practice for six hours. I couldn't do that. I've never had the length, I'm not that strong of a guy. I hit it 250, 260, I hit it very straight and I'm not a bad putter.
