That’s what we get paid for. I wasn’t surprised that Casey won the pole. I think if Sterling had gone out earlier he would have had a real shot to win the pole.Our teams have had some struggles this year. Some of the pain has been self-inflicted, and some of the things we just couldn’t help. It’d be great to win here today. In a way, it’s just another race, but it’s a big deal to win Daytona and a big deal to win Indy. Really, it’s a big deal to win anywhere. It pays the same amount of points, but the money is a little bit different.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What you see is what you get.

Where it is possible that fear should exist it is well that it should exist, cause continual uneasiness, and be cast out by nothing less than love.... Until love, which is the truth towards God, is able to cast out fear, it is well that fear should hold; it is a bond, however poor, between that which is and that which creates -- a bond that must be broken, but a bond that can be broken only by the tightening of an infinitely closer bond. Verily God must be terrible to those that are far from Him: for they fear He will do -- yea, is doing -- with them what they do not, cannot desire, and can ill endure... While they are such as they are, there is much in Him that cannot but affright them: they ought, they do well, to fear Him... To remove that fear from their hearts, save by letting them know His love with its purifying fire, a love which for ages, it may be, they cannot know, would be to give them up utterly to the power of evil. Persuade men that fear is a vile thing, that it is an insult to God, that He will have none of it -- while they are yet in love with their own will, and slaves to every movement of passionate impulse -- and what will the consequence be? That they will insult God as a discarded idol, a superstition, a falsehood, as a thing under whose evil influence they have too long groaned, a thing to be cast out and spit upon. After that, how much will they learn of Him?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gratification of wealth is not found in mere possession or in lavish expenditure, but in its wise application. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61458]]></link><description><![CDATA[The gratification of wealth is not found in mere possession or in lavish expenditure, but in its wise application.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man proves too clearly and convincingly to himself . . . that a tiger is an optical illusion--well, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61976]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man proves too clearly and convincingly to himself . . . that a tiger is an optical illusion--well, he will find out he is wrong.
