The morning of a tournament, before I put my feet on the floor, I visualize myself making perfect runs with emphasis on technique, all the way through to what my personal best is in practice.... The more you work with this type of visualization, especially when you do it on a day-to-day basis, you'll actually begin to feel your muscles contracting at the appropriate times.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is right to be contented with what we have, never with what we are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10004]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is right to be contented with what we have, never with what we are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Earned with the sweat of my brows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62087]]></link><description><![CDATA[Earned with the sweat of my brows.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Investors are having problems with reliability and the problem is that it's not impossible to fake a statement of cash ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28340]]></link><description><![CDATA[Investors are having problems with reliability and the problem is that it's not impossible to fake a statement of cash flows.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Barrie tells us how, in the little house at Thrums, they used to tiptoe to and fro when his mother ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7573]]></link><description><![CDATA[Barrie tells us how, in the little house at Thrums, they used to tiptoe to and fro when his mother was upon her knees, awed by the knowledge that she was praying for them. And here and there in the New Testament, we blunder in on Christ and find Him on His knees; and, once at least, ere we can escape, cannot but overhear Him pleading our names. "Neither pray I for these alone," that is, for Peter and John and the rest, "but for those who will believe through them"-- that is, for you and me. Hush! the Lord Christ is praying for you! And what is it He asks for us? That we be given such a spirit of unity and brotherliness and Christlikeness that people, coming upon us, will look at us, and look again, and then from us to Jesus Christ, seeking the explanation of us there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adrian, the Emperor, exclaimed incessantly, when dying, "That the crowd of physicians had killed him." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26701]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adrian, the Emperor, exclaimed incessantly, when dying, "That the crowd of physicians had killed him."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success doesn't mean the absence of failures; it means the attainment of ultimate objectives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44747]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success doesn't mean the absence of failures; it means the attainment of ultimate objectives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was the individual who cleared on this process within Customs and Border Protection and reviewed all the material and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37487]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was the individual who cleared on this process within Customs and Border Protection and reviewed all the material and there was nothing derogatory or any hesitation on our part in moving forward with supporting this decision.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger is an expensive luxury in which only men of certain income can indulge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26098]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger is an expensive luxury in which only men of certain income can indulge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rast ich, so rost ich.

If a sizable proportion of the Free Church ministry were enabled to become itinerant once again -- not necessarily itinerant in the geographical sense, but itinerant in the complex mazes of contemporary society, fathers in God to Christian organisms evolved by the lay men and women who spend their lives in these mazes -- new heart would be put into both ministry and laity, and incidentally, new impetus given to the search for Christian unity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The place is all awave with trees, Limes, myrtles, purple-beaded,  Acacias having drunk the lees   Of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59671]]></link><description><![CDATA[The place is all awave with trees, Limes, myrtles, purple-beaded,  Acacias having drunk the lees   Of the night-dew, fain headed,    And wan, grey olive-woods, which seem     The fittest foliage for a dream.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Passionate hatred can give meaning and purpose to an empty life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18867]]></link><description><![CDATA[Passionate hatred can give meaning and purpose to an empty life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Most musical, most melancholy" bird! A melancholy bird!

Do you think it likely theconqueror will place on me two sets of panniers?' No, rejoinedthe Shepherd.
