A mother is born, too of course, but at least for her it's a gradual process. Body and soul, she has nine months to get used to what's happening. She becomes what's happening. But for even the best-prepared father, it happens all at once. On the other side of a plate-glass window, a nurse is holding up something roughly the size of a loaf of bread for him to see for the first time. Even if he should decide to abandon it forever ten minutes later, the memory will nag him to the grave. He has seen the creation of the world. It has his mark on it. He has its mark on him. Both marks are, for better or for worse, indelible. All sons, like all daughters, are prodigals if they're smart. Assuming the Old Man doesn't run out on them first, they will run out on him if they are to survive, and if he's smart he won't put up too much of a fuss. A wise father sees all this coming, and maybe that's why he keeps his distance from the start. He must survive too. Whether they ever find their way home again, none can say for sure, but it's the risk he must take if they're ever to find their way at all. In the meantime, the world tends to have a soft spot in its heart for lost children. Lost fathers have to fend for themselves. Even as the father lays down the law, he knows that someday his children will break it as they need to break it if ever they're to find something better than law to replace it. Until and unless that happens, there's no telling the scrapes they will get into trying to lose him and find themselves. Terrible blnders will be made-dissapointments and failures, hurts and losses of every kind. And they'll keep making them even after they've found themselves too, of course, because growing up is a process that goes on and on. And every hard knock they ever get, knocks the father even harder still, if that's possible, and if and when they finally come through more or less in one piece at the end, there's maybe no rejoicing greater than his in all creation. -Fatherhood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11745]]></link><description><![CDATA[To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Greek word euphuia, a finely tempered nature, gives exactly the notion of perfection as culture brings us to perceive ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58483]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Greek word euphuia, a finely tempered nature, gives exactly the notion of perfection as culture brings us to perceive it; a harmonious perfection, a perfection in which the characters of beauty and intelligence are both present, which unites "the two noblest of things"--as Swift . . . most happily calls them in his Battle of the Books, "the two noblest of things, sweetness and light."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now as of old the gods give men all good things, excepting only those that are baneful and injurious and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52412]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now as of old the gods give men all good things, excepting only those that are baneful and injurious and useless.

If we admit that men can do very well without Christ, we accept the Saviour only as a luxury for ourselves. If they can do very well without Christ, then so could we. This is to turn our backs upon the Christ of the gospels and the Christ of Acts and to turn our faces towards law, morality, philosophy, natural religion. We look at the moral teaching of some of the heathen nations and we find it higher than we had expected... Or we look at morality in Christian lands, and we begin to wonder whether our practice is really much higher than theirs, and we say, "They are very well as they are. Leave them alone." When we so speak and think we are treating the question of the salvation of men exactly as we should have treated it had Christ never appeared in the world at all. It is an essentially pre-Christian attitude, and implies that the Son of God has not been delivered for our salvation. It suggests that the one and only way of salvation known to me is to keep the commandments. That was indeed true before the coming of the Son of God, before the Passion, before the Resurrection, before Pentecost; but after Pentecost that is no longer true. After Pentecost, the answer to any man who inquires the way of salvation is no longer "Keep the law," but "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The corporate charter that we have is very strong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33802]]></link><description><![CDATA[The corporate charter that we have is very strong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are some who, because the point is the limit and extreme of the line, the line of the plane, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17379]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are some who, because the point is the limit and extreme of the line, the line of the plane, and the plane of the solid, think there must be real things of this sort.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Right now, it's a business trip for us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41350]]></link><description><![CDATA[Right now, it's a business trip for us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The least strength suffices to break what is bruised. [Lat., Minimae vires frangere quassa valent.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57944]]></link><description><![CDATA[The least strength suffices to break what is bruised. [Lat., Minimae vires frangere quassa valent.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can only cure retail but you can prevent wholesale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56962]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can only cure retail but you can prevent wholesale.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never respect men merely for their riches, but rather for their philanthropy;
