For an achievement does not settle anything permanently. We still have to prove our worth anew each day: we have to prove that we are as good today as we were yesterday. But when we have a valid alibi for not achieving anything we are fixed, so to speak, for life. Moreover, when we have an alibi for not writing a book, painting a picture, and so on, we have an alibi for not writing the greatest book and not painting the greatest picture. Small wonder that the effort expended and the punishment endured in obtaining a good alibi often exceed the effort and grief requisite for the attainment of a most marked achievement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is it: is man only a blunder of God, or God only a blunder of man? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17726]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is it: is man only a blunder of God, or God only a blunder of man?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17726</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's real worth is determined by what he does when he has nothing to do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20366]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's real worth is determined by what he does when he has nothing to do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am indeed rich, since my income is superior to my expense, and my expense is equal to my wishes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15699]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am indeed rich, since my income is superior to my expense, and my expense is equal to my wishes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think we're going to see jobs collapse or disappear.

The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn March 16, 2000 Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  I have called my material surroundings a stage set. In this I can act. And you may well say "act". For what I call "myself" (for all practical, everyday purposes) is also a dramatic construction; memories, glimpses in the shavinglass, and snatches of the very fallible activity called "introspection", are the principal ingredients. Normally I call this construction "me"' and the stage set "the real world". Now the moment of prayer is for me -- or involves for me as its condition -- the awareness, the reawakened awareness, that this "real world" and "real self" are very far from being rock-bottom realities. I cannot, in the flesh, leave the stage, either to go behind the scenes or to take my seat in the pit; but I can remember that these regions exist. And I also remember that my apparent self -- this clown or hero or super -- under his grease-paint is a real person with an off-stage life. The dramatic person could not tread the stage unless he concealed a real person: unless the real and unknown I existed, I would not even make mistakes about the imagined me. And in prayer this real I struggles to speak, for once, from his real being, and to address, for once, not the other actors, but -- what shall I call Him? The Author, for He invented us all? The Producer, for He controls all? Or the Audience, for He watches, and will judge, the performance?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Darn the wheel of the world!
