The best games are not those in which all goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those in which the outcome is always in doubt. Similarly, the geometry of life is designed to keep us at the point of maximum tension between certainty and uncertainty, order and chaos. Every important call is a close one. We survive and evolve by the skin of our teeth. We really wouldn't want it any other way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is said that the world is in a state of bankruptcy, that the world owes the world more than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62219]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is said that the world is in a state of bankruptcy, that the world owes the world more than the world can pay.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a tremendous strength that is growing in the world through... sharing together, praying together, suffering together, and working ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60952]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a tremendous strength that is growing in the world through... sharing together, praying together, suffering together, and working together.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The probability is going up that there's going to be some kind of transaction involving Knight Ridder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34225]]></link><description><![CDATA[The probability is going up that there's going to be some kind of transaction involving Knight Ridder.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some folks are wise and some are otherwise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64216]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some folks are wise and some are otherwise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Housework is a breeze.

He called for the love of our enemies, not their destruction; ... for readiness to suffer instead of using force; for forgiveness instead of hate and revenge. One might even say [that] Jesus was more revolutionary than the revolutionaries, or revolutionary in a very different way. The revolution he had in mind was a radical change of heart on the part of mankind, involving conversion away from selfishness and toward the willing service of God and of people in general.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest and most beautiful of all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66177]]></link><description><![CDATA[The flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest and most beautiful of all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is time, as a matter of pride, as well as a matter of national security, for the United States ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13883]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is time, as a matter of pride, as well as a matter of national security, for the United States of America to lead the world in the energy revolution, and not lag behind Japan or Germany]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was my first time in front of the television cameras and my home crowd so I'm delighted by the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41741]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was my first time in front of the television cameras and my home crowd so I'm delighted by the way I played and the result,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The police aren't the most popular people right now, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38406]]></link><description><![CDATA[The police aren't the most popular people right now,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You buy furniture.
