I enjoy my family and cutting the grass at home. There's more in life than golf. I enjoy the game but I don't know if I could do it every day. If I go practice, I practice for an hour. The guys out here practice for six hours. I couldn't do that. I've never had the length, I'm not that strong of a guy. I hit it 250, 260, I hit it very straight and I'm not a bad putter. You have to do this all the time to get the nerves.

There is no breaking through this law of our being. Every attempt to do so proves itself in experience to be futile. Hence we are in a more helpless state of bondage than that which materialistic determinism holds; for the tyrant is established within our own consciousness. One way, and one way only, out of this bondage remains. If we can discover how to make our own immediate desire, and the act of will springing out of it, accord with the supreme law of our being, then to "do as we like" will no longer be to run our heads against the stone wall of necessity which shuts us out from the heaven of satisfaction. For we shall only "like" doing what we "ought". This introduces a new sense of the word "freedom". It does not now mean freedom from restrains to follow our desires, but freedom from the tyranny of futile desires to follow what is really good. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What good I see humbly I seek to do, And live obedient to the law, in trust  That what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17838]]></link><description><![CDATA[What good I see humbly I seek to do, And live obedient to the law, in trust  That what will come, and must come, shall come well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night; but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14771]]></link><description><![CDATA[My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night; but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends -- it gives a lovely light!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Calculation never made a hero. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19271]]></link><description><![CDATA[Calculation never made a hero.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10546]]></link><description><![CDATA[We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best way to know God is to love many things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17705]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best way to know God is to love many things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17705</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The coward threatens when he is safe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10511]]></link><description><![CDATA[The coward threatens when he is safe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cover your selfe with your shield, and care not for cryes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49185]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cover your selfe with your shield, and care not for cryes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Were't not affection chains thy tender days To the sweet glances of thy honored love,  I rather would entreat ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20346]]></link><description><![CDATA[Were't not affection chains thy tender days To the sweet glances of thy honored love,  I rather would entreat thy company   To see the wonders of the world abroad    Than, living dully sluggardized at home,     Wear out thy youth with shapeless idleness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though I know he loves me, Tonight my heart is sad; His kiss was not so wonderful As all the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12907]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though I know he loves me, Tonight my heart is sad; His kiss was not so wonderful As all the dreams I had.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never deprive someone of hope - it may be all they have. -Unknown. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19818]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never deprive someone of hope - it may be all they have. -Unknown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strike up the dance, the cava bowl fill high. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48760]]></link><description><![CDATA[Strike up the dance, the cava bowl fill high.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To look backward for a while is to refresh the eye, to restore it, and to render it the more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27625]]></link><description><![CDATA[To look backward for a while is to refresh the eye, to restore it, and to render it the more fit for its prime function of looking forward.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27625</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O fair undress, best dress! it checks no vein, But every flowing limb in pleasure drowns,  And heightens ease ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2768]]></link><description><![CDATA[O fair undress, best dress! it checks no vein, But every flowing limb in pleasure drowns,  And heightens ease with grace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every day silence harvests its victims.
