You just can't allow something like that to happen at the end of the game. Against Falmouth, I really like the effort we put forth against one of the elite teams in the area. We played right with them for a long stretch of the game, but we eventually just got tired and they took advantage of our mistakes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have no enthusiasm for nature which the slightest chill will not instantly destroy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64340]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have no enthusiasm for nature which the slightest chill will not instantly destroy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To me, he's a hero, ...

She had all sorts of wonderful little idiosyncrasies. She used to fart in her sleep. I thought I’d share that with you. One night it was so loud it woke the dog up. She woke up and went ‘ah was that you?’ And I didn’t have the heart to tell her. Oh!Will: She woke herself up?Sean: Ah...! But Will, she’s been dead for 2 years, and that's the shit I remember: wonderful stuff you know? Little things like that. Those are the things I miss the most. The little idiosyncrasies that only I know about: that's what made her my wife. Oh she had the goods on me too, she knew all my little peccadilloes. People call these things imperfections, but there not. Ah, that's the good stuff.~ Robin Williams as Sean Maguire, Matt Damon as Will Hunting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not going to be mad, and I'm not going to dwell on it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28420]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm not going to be mad, and I'm not going to dwell on it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I sit within a helmless bark. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51700]]></link><description><![CDATA[I sit within a helmless bark.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gambling undermines the moral fiber of society. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17161]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gambling undermines the moral fiber of society.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've met a few people who had to change their jobs in order to changetheir lives, but I've met many ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21152]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've met a few people who had to change their jobs in order to changetheir lives, but I've met many more people who merely had to change theirmotive to service in order to change their lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life can be seen through your eyes butit is not fully appreciated until it is seen through your heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2964]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life can be seen through your eyes butit is not fully appreciated until it is seen through your heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No, no, I'm sure, My restless spirit never could endure  To brood so long upon one luxury,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20615]]></link><description><![CDATA[No, no, I'm sure, My restless spirit never could endure  To brood so long upon one luxury,   Unless it did, though fearfully, espy    A hope beyond the shadow of a dream.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath & Wells, Hymnographer, 1711  [The] doctrine of [inevitable] progress sustained our fathers ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6477]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath & Wells, Hymnographer, 1711  [The] doctrine of [inevitable] progress sustained our fathers in the carrying of capitalistic democratic culture to most parts of the globe. Its core was the conviction that, in thus extending the range of western liberal culture and developing its assumptions, they were in effect establishing on earth that which would grow into the kingdom of God. Some put it sharply but un-Biblically: "building the kingdom"; others, of a more secular turn of mind, echoed J. A. Symonds' hymn, "These Things Shall Be". That whole view exists today only as debris, for it has foundered on the rocks, not so much of human sin, as of the contradictions and complexities of the very western culture that was the substance of its belief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Precedents are dangerous things; let the rein of government then be braced and held with a steady hand ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48089]]></link><description><![CDATA[Precedents are dangerous things; let the rein of government then be braced and held with a steady hand]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What point of morals, of manners, of economy, of philosophy, of religion, of taste, of the conduct of life, has ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55318]]></link><description><![CDATA[What point of morals, of manners, of economy, of philosophy, of religion, of taste, of the conduct of life, has he not settled? What mystery has he not signified his knowledge of?

Your faith is something everyone knows, for everyone knows that Christ was [crucified], and that everywhere men pray to Him. The whole world knows that His glory has not been spread by force and weapons, but by poor fishermen. 0 wise man, do you think the poor fishermen were not clever enough for this? Where they worked, there they made hearts better; where they could not work, there men remained bad; and therefore was the faith true and from God. The signs which the Lord had promised followed their teaching: in His name they drove out the devil; they spoke in new tongues; if they drank any deadly drink, they received therefrom no harm. Even if these wonders had not occurred, there would have been the wonder of wonders, that poor fishermen without any miracle could accomplish so great a work as the faith. It came from God, and so is Christ true, and Christ is thy God, who is in heaven and awaits thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17834]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An apology?

Those who would give a quick, easy or confident answer to this question have failed to understand it. It cannot even be seriously considered without a profound awareness of the extent to which Christian ideas have lost their hold over, or faded from the consciousness of, large sections of the population; of the far-reaching changes that would be called for in the structure, institutions and activities of existing society, which is in many of its features a complete denial of the Christian understanding of the meaning and end of man's existence; and of the stupendous and costly spiritual, moral, and intellectual effort that any genuine attempt to order national life in accordance with the Christian understanding of life would demand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7190</guid></item></channel></rss>
