I had the opportunity to serve as a bishop in a campus ward while I was still an assistant coach. When I was appointed head football coach in 1972, I decided to approach my role as a coach much the same as I did as a bishop, delegating responsibility to my assistants, putting responsibility on the players for self-improvement in all aspects of their lives, and using personal interviews with players to try to give positive reinforcement and encouragement so that they might do their very best and reach their full potential, both on and off the field.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy, which one would you think liked dolphins the most?

Now, we cannot get over this plain fact by saying that it was a religious ceremony: that would be mere sophistry. It was an indulgence in the festivity of life; as plainly as words can describe, here was a banquet of human enjoyment. The very language of the master of the feast about men who had well drunk, tells us that there had been, not excess, of course, but happiness there, and merry-making. Neither can we explain away the lesson by saying that it is no example to us, for Christ was there to do good, and that what was safe for Him might be unsafe for us. For if His life is no pattern for us here in this case of accepting an invitation, in what can we be sure it is a pattern? Besides, He took His disciples there, and His mother was there: they were not shielded, as He was, by immaculate purity. He was there as a guest first, as Messiah only afterwards: thereby He declared the sacredness of natural enjoyments.... For Christianity does not destroy what is natural, but ennobles it. To turn water into wine, and what is common into what is holy, is indeed the glory of Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My son was killed in a war without honor for the sake of lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23037]]></link><description><![CDATA[My son was killed in a war without honor for the sake of lies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[While her actor dad, John Aniston, was in Los Angeles taping his soap opera, Days of Our Lives, Aniston was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38608]]></link><description><![CDATA[[While her actor dad, John Aniston, was in Los Angeles taping his soap opera, Days of Our Lives, Aniston was living in New York with her mom, a sometime actress-model, and attending the performing arts high school made famous by Fame.
