For an achievement does not settle anything permanently. We still have to prove our worth anew each day: we have to prove that we are as good today as we were yesterday. But when we have a valid alibi for not achieving anything we are fixed, so to speak, for life. Moreover, when we have an alibi for not writing a book, painting a picture, and so on, we have an alibi for not writing the greatest book and not painting the greatest picture. Small wonder that the effort expended and the punishment endured in obtaining a good alibi often exceed the effort and grief requisite for the attainment of a most marked achievement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All things that are, Are with more spirit chased than enjoy'd.

It is personal, with things happening between people as well as to and in them individually; it is compassionate, always eager to help, observant but non judgmental toward others, breathing out hope and concern; it is creative, with imagination about each one in the group and its work as a whole, watching for authentic new vision coming from any of them; and it is expectant, always seeking to offer to God open and believing hearts and minds through which He can work out His will, either in the sometimes startling miracles He gives or in steady purpose through long stretches where there is no special "opening". It may fairly be said that unless one enmeshes himself in this "redemptive fellowship" of the church, he lessens his chances of steady growth and effectiveness, in his Christian life and experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes adversity impels a person to greater heights, and sometimes it provides the opportunity for that person to be a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/719]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes adversity impels a person to greater heights, and sometimes it provides the opportunity for that person to be a blessing in the lives of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How sweet the task to shield an absent friend! I ask but this of mine to--not defend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48744]]></link><description><![CDATA[How sweet the task to shield an absent friend! I ask but this of mine to--not defend.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48744</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Are the referees going to treat him like Michael Jordan in his first playoff or like Michael Jordan after six ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35768]]></link><description><![CDATA[Are the referees going to treat him like Michael Jordan in his first playoff or like Michael Jordan after six championships?
