The best games are not those in whichall goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those inwhich the outcome is always in doubt. Similarly, the geometry of life isdesigned to keep us at the point of maximum tension between certainty anduncertainty, order and chaos. Every important call is a close one. Wesurvive and evolve by the skin of our teeth. We really wouldn't want itany other way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some girls never know what they are going to do from one husband to another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17485]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some girls never know what they are going to do from one husband to another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Military justice is to justice what military music is to music. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23667]]></link><description><![CDATA[Military justice is to justice what military music is to music.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Infinite striving to be the best is man's duty, it is it's own reward.

At shearing time, wishing to take his fleece and to avoid expense, she sheared him herself, but used the shears so unskillfully that with the fleece she sheared the flesh. The Sheep, writhing with pain, said, Why do you hurt me so, Mistress? What weight can my blood add to the wool? If you want my flesh, there is the butcher, who will kill me in an instant; but if you want my fleece and wool, there is the shearer, who will shear and not hurt me. The least outlay is not always the greatest gain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fulfillment of the Lord's mercy does not depend upon believers' works, but... he fulfills the promise of salvation for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7646]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fulfillment of the Lord's mercy does not depend upon believers' works, but... he fulfills the promise of salvation for those who respond to his call with upright life, because in those who are directed to the good by his Spirit he recognizes the only genuine insignia of his children.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People ask for criticism, but they only want praise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10753]]></link><description><![CDATA[People ask for criticism, but they only want praise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Biography is the only true history ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4218]]></link><description><![CDATA[Biography is the only true history]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/191]]></link><description><![CDATA[Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best of our theater is standing on tiptoe, striving to see over the shoulders of father and mother.
