I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold.

If our practical life is centered on our own interests, cluttered up by possessions, distracted by ambitions, passions, wants and worries, beset by a sense of our own rights and importance, or anxieties for our own future, or longings for our own success, we need not expect that our spiritual life will be a contrast to all this. The soul's house is not built on such a convenient plan; there are few soundproof partitions in it. Only when the conviction -- not merely the idea -- that the demand of the Spirit, however inconvenient, rules the whole of it, will those objectionable noises die down which have a way of penetrating into the nicely furnished little oratory and drowning all the quieter voices by their din.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowing as "the man in the street" (as we call him as Newmarket) always does, the greatest secrets of kings, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52469]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowing as "the man in the street" (as we call him as Newmarket) always does, the greatest secrets of kings, and being the confidant of their most hidden thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know it hit his arm below the fence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30332]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know it hit his arm below the fence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The brilliant chief, irregularly great, Frank, haughty, rash--the Rupert of debate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3037]]></link><description><![CDATA[The brilliant chief, irregularly great, Frank, haughty, rash--the Rupert of debate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates' loot on Treasure Island and best of all, you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66084]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates' loot on Treasure Island and best of all, you can enjoy these riches every day of your life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis all in vain to keep a constant pother About one vice and fall into another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50931]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis all in vain to keep a constant pother About one vice and fall into another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Habits are cobwebs at first; cables at last. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18567]]></link><description><![CDATA[Habits are cobwebs at first; cables at last.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I could not sleep for cold I had fire enough in my brain,  And builded with roofs of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20526]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I could not sleep for cold I had fire enough in my brain,  And builded with roofs of gold   My beautiful castles in Spain!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I have made an appointment with you, I owe you punctuality, I have no right to throw away your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3989]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I have made an appointment with you, I owe you punctuality, I have no right to throw away your time, if I do my own]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All intelligent thoughts have already been thought; what is necessary is only to try to think them again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64301]]></link><description><![CDATA[All intelligent thoughts have already been thought; what is necessary is only to try to think them again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The reason that fiction is more interesting than any other form of literature, to those who really like to study ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15607]]></link><description><![CDATA[The reason that fiction is more interesting than any other form of literature, to those who really like to study people, is that in fiction the author can really tell the truth without humiliating himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When ice is real hard, it shatters and you can get microscopic shards of ice.
