A mother is born, too of course, but at least for her it's a gradual process. Body and soul, she has nine months to get used to what's happening. She becomes what's happening. But for even the best-prepared father, it happens all at once. On the other side of a plate-glass window, a nurse is holding up something roughly the size of a loaf of bread for him to see for the first time. Even if he should decide to abandon it forever ten minutes later, the memory will nag him to the grave. He has seen the creation of the world. It has his mark on it. He has its mark on him. Both marks are, for better or for worse, indelible. All sons, like all daughters, are prodigals if they're smart. Assuming the Old Man doesn't run out on them first, they will run out on him if they are to survive, and if he's smart he won't put up too much of a fuss. A wise father sees all this coming, and maybe that's why he keeps his distance from the start. He must survive too. Whether they ever find their way home again, none can say for sure, but it's the risk he must take if they're ever to find their way at all. In the meantime, the world tends to have a soft spot in its heart for lost children. Lost fathers have to fend for themselves. Even as the father lays down the law, he knows that someday his children will break it as they need to break it if ever they're to find something better than law to replace it. Until and unless that happens, there's no telling the scrapes they will get into trying to lose him and find themselves. Terrible blnders will be made-dissapointments and failures, hurts and losses of every kind. And they'll keep making them even after they've found themselves too, of course, because growing up is a process that goes on and on. And every hard knock they ever get, knocks the father even harder still, if that's possible, and if and when they finally come through more or less in one piece at the end, there's maybe no rejoicing greater than his in all creation. -Fatherhood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym and out there ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15647]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One with the law is a majority. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26211]]></link><description><![CDATA[One with the law is a majority.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The real danger is not that computers will begin to think like men, but that men will begin to think ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9449]]></link><description><![CDATA[The real danger is not that computers will begin to think like men, but that men will begin to think like computers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee hath not liv'd, that lives not after death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49428]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee hath not liv'd, that lives not after death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a season for man's merit as well as for fruit. [Fr., Le merite des hommes a sa saison ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27387]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a season for man's merit as well as for fruit. [Fr., Le merite des hommes a sa saison aussi bien que les fruits.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the bitter waves of woe, Beaten and tossed about  By the sullen winds which blow   From ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57246]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the bitter waves of woe, Beaten and tossed about  By the sullen winds which blow   From the desolate shores of doubt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O conscience, upright and stainless, how bitter a sting to thee is a little fault!. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14612]]></link><description><![CDATA[O conscience, upright and stainless, how bitter a sting to thee is a little fault!.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Consider it the greatest of all virtues to restrain the tongue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48802]]></link><description><![CDATA[Consider it the greatest of all virtues to restrain the tongue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every one ought to bear patiently the results of his own conduct. [Lat., Sua quisque exempla debet aequo animo pati.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45729]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every one ought to bear patiently the results of his own conduct. [Lat., Sua quisque exempla debet aequo animo pati.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is only one way, really, to get into a state of living, and that's live!

There is no substitute for an all-out, over-the-ramparts, howling charge against life. That's living. Living does not consist of sitting in a temple in the shadows and getting rheumatism from the cold stones. Living is hot, it's fast, it's often brutal! It has a terrific gamut of emotional reactions. If you are really willing to live, you first have to be willing to do anything that consists of living. Weird. But it's one of those awfully true things that you wonder why one has to say it. And yet it has to be said.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True artists are almost the only men who do their work for pleasure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65345]]></link><description><![CDATA[True artists are almost the only men who do their work for pleasure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65345</guid></item></channel></rss>
