He desires his transcript to be faithful to the meaning of the original, so far as he can reach that meaning, and also to do some justice to its literary qualities. But he is well aware that his aim often exceeds his grasp. Translation may be a fascinating task, yet no discipline is more humbling. You may be translating oracles, but soon you learn the risk and folly of posing as an oracle yourself. If your readers are dissatisfied at any point, they may be sure that the translator is still more dissatisfied, if not there, then elsewhere -- all the more so, because, in the nature of the case, he has always to appear dogmatic in print.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best of the sport is to doe the deede, and say nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49801]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best of the sport is to doe the deede, and say nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18112]]></link><description><![CDATA[To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coach always preaches to us, get ahead, get ahead, make something happen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30845]]></link><description><![CDATA[Coach always preaches to us, get ahead, get ahead, make something happen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have wrestled with death.
