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. You have to do this all the time to get the nerves. I don't know if I have the nerves for the next three days.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's no secret, we took a lot of sh-- for Ang Lee's 'Hulk,' for all the wrong reasons, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29742]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's no secret, we took a lot of sh-- for Ang Lee's 'Hulk,' for all the wrong reasons,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of it is the seat-of-your-pants-type thing and a lot of faith and trust in people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38511]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lot of it is the seat-of-your-pants-type thing and a lot of faith and trust in people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is only one-way in which one can endure man's inhumanity to man and that is to try, in one's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22798]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is only one-way in which one can endure man's inhumanity to man and that is to try, in one's own life, to exemplify man's humanity to man. -Alan Paton.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So vain is the belief That the sequestered path has fewest flowers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57177]]></link><description><![CDATA[So vain is the belief That the sequestered path has fewest flowers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best defense against usurpatory government is an assertive citizenry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47567]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best defense against usurpatory government is an assertive citizenry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To dance attendance on their lordships' pleasures. -King Henry VIII.

Male sexuality is, by definition, intensely and rigidly phallic. A man's identity is located in his conception of himself as the possessor of a phallus; a man's worth is located in his pride in phallic identity. The main characteristic of phallic identity is that worth is entirely contingent on the possession of a phallus. Since men have no other criteria for worth, no other notion of identity, those who do not have phalluses are not recognized as fully human.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60996]]></link><description><![CDATA[The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many have quarreled about religion that never practiced it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53613]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many have quarreled about religion that never practiced it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leadership is getting someone to do what they don't want to do in order to achieve what they want to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24441]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leadership is getting someone to do what they don't want to do in order to achieve what they want to achieve.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kill Not.

It is the grateful, faithful, fruitful use of what we have, little or much. It is to take the cup of Providence, and call upon the name of the Lord. What the cup contains is its contents. To get all that is in the cup is the act and art of contentment. Not to drink because one has but half a cup, or because one does not like its flavor, or because somebody else has silver to one's own glass, is to lose the contents; and that is the penalty, if not the meaning, of discontent. No one is discontented who employs and enjoys to the utmost what he has. It is high philosophy to say, we can have just what we like if we like what we have; but this much at least can be done, and this is contentment: to have the most and best in life by making the most and best of what we have.   ...

Babcock August 7, 2000 Commemoration of John Mason Neale, Priest, Poet, 1866   For all the vigour of his polemic, St. Paul does not content himself with the denunciation of error, but finds the best defense against its insidious approaches in a closer adherence to the love of God and faith in Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The easier it is to do, the harder it is to change. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52133]]></link><description><![CDATA[The easier it is to do, the harder it is to change.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The king of Spain is a great potentate, who stands with one foot in the east and the other in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57313]]></link><description><![CDATA[The king of Spain is a great potentate, who stands with one foot in the east and the other in the west; and the sun never sets that it does not shine on some of his dominions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Concluding a short series of testimonies on the Scriptures:   A loving Personality dominates the Bible, walking among the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7011]]></link><description><![CDATA[Concluding a short series of testimonies on the Scriptures:   A loving Personality dominates the Bible, walking among the trees of the garden and breathing fragrance over every scene.
