It was right around the baseball playoffs. I always thought it was pretty cool how a manager would send a pitcher ahead to the next city to wait for his team. I wanted to give Will the opportunity to do that. Why sit around for five months doing nothing? I figured she could be up there scouting out the hotels and restaurants and sightseeing tours for us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All movements go too far. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64403]]></link><description><![CDATA[All movements go too far.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't fire weapons in urban areas.

Instead of asking yourself whether you believe or not, ask yourself whether you have, this day, done one thing because He said, Do it! or once abstained because He said, Do not do it! It is simply absurd to say you believe, or even want to believe, in Him, if you do not do anything He tells you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We also listen to PJ Harvey; a lot of driving music.

The wider that strip of land and the more sensitive the player is to the changing composition of the ground under his feet as he pursues the ball, the more effective the warning. Romanticizing or lionizing as "individualistic" those people who disregard social cues and inducements increases the danger of head-on collisions with inherent social limits. Decrying various forms of social disapproval is in effect narrowing the warning strip.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man has his price. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man has his price.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She would have made Hercules have turned spit, yea, and have cleft his club to make the fire too. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10146]]></link><description><![CDATA[She would have made Hercules have turned spit, yea, and have cleft his club to make the fire too.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10146</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The chief ingredients in the composition of those qualities that gain esteem and praise, are good nature, truth, good sense, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52651]]></link><description><![CDATA[The chief ingredients in the composition of those qualities that gain esteem and praise, are good nature, truth, good sense, and good breeding]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money is flat and was meant to be piled up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21835]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money is flat and was meant to be piled up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extrahuman architecture and furious rhythm.

But the way to put a stop to this declension is not by accommodating the commands of God to the corrupt courses and ways of men. The truths of God and the holiness of His precepts must be pleaded and defended, though the world dislike them here and perish hereafter. His law must not be made to lackey after the wills of men, nor be dissolved by vain interpretations, because they complain they cannot -- indeed, because they will not -- comply with it. Our Lord Jesus Christ came not to destroy the law and the prophets, but to fulfill them, and to supply men with spiritual strength to fulfill them also. It is evil to break the least commandment; but there is a great aggravation of that evil in them that shall teach men so to do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He hath a fair sepulchre in the grateful stomach of the judicious epicure--and for such a tomb might be content ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13220]]></link><description><![CDATA[He hath a fair sepulchre in the grateful stomach of the judicious epicure--and for such a tomb might be content to die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13220</guid></item></channel></rss>
