When you don't listen to what's being told it becomes rather frustrating. Like I told the guys, I will tell you what I want you to do and when it doesn't work, I'll take the blame but if you don't do what you are asked nothing can work. We had four guys doing one thing and one guy doing something else. It was one of our worst outings of the year.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Television is a gold goose that lays scrambled eggs; and it is futile and probably fatal to beat it for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58833]]></link><description><![CDATA[Television is a gold goose that lays scrambled eggs; and it is futile and probably fatal to beat it for not laying caviar.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That is obviously a direct driver of inflation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34923]]></link><description><![CDATA[That is obviously a direct driver of inflation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you. -John ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55241]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you. -John Wooden.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tolerance and celebration of individual differences is the fire that fuels lasting love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/940]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tolerance and celebration of individual differences is the fire that fuels lasting love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15585]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is really and emotional time for the town, but I grew up with Lloyd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33007]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is really and emotional time for the town, but I grew up with Lloyd.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hatreds are the cinders of affection. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18806]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hatreds are the cinders of affection.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Loveliest of trees, the cherry now Is hung with bloom along the bough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57797]]></link><description><![CDATA[Loveliest of trees, the cherry now Is hung with bloom along the bough.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything runs to excess; every good quality is noxious if unmixed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52670]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything runs to excess; every good quality is noxious if unmixed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gracefully, gracefully glides our bark On the bosom of Father Thames,  And before her bows the wavelets dark  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4404]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gracefully, gracefully glides our bark On the bosom of Father Thames,  And before her bows the wavelets dark   Break into a thousand gems.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To wear your heart on your sleeve isn't a very good plan; you should wear it inside, where it functions ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19383]]></link><description><![CDATA[To wear your heart on your sleeve isn't a very good plan; you should wear it inside, where it functions best.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am not merry; but I do beguile The thing I am by seeming otherwise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27426]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am not merry; but I do beguile The thing I am by seeming otherwise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51886]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Goat and the GoatherdA goatherd had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock.

This can happen, but if it does not, it is not a sign that the meditation period has been useless. Not only at the beginning, but repeatedly, there will be times when we feel a great spiritual dryness and apathy, an aversion, even an inability to meditate. We dare not be balked by such experiences. Above all, we must not allow them to keep us from adhering to our meditation period with great patience and fidelity.  It is, therefore, not good for us to take too seriously the many untoward experiences we have with ourselves in meditation. It is here that our old vanity and our illicit claims upon God may creep in by a pious detour, as if it were our right to have nothing but elevating and fruitful experiences, and as if the discovery of our own inner poverty were quite beneath our dignity. With that attitude, we shall make no progress.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we have done our best, we should wait the result in peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21923]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we have done our best, we should wait the result in peace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Doctors are the same as lawyers; the only difference is that lawyers merely rob you, whereas doctors rob you and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12611]]></link><description><![CDATA[Doctors are the same as lawyers; the only difference is that lawyers merely rob you, whereas doctors rob you and kill you too.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History is indeed little more than the register of the crimes, follies and misfortunes of mankind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19396]]></link><description><![CDATA[History is indeed little more than the register of the crimes, follies and misfortunes of mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19396</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion is just mind control. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64376]]></link><description><![CDATA[Religion is just mind control.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What work's, my countrymen, in hand?
