When you don't listen to what's being told it becomes rather frustrating. Like I told the guys, I will tell you what I want you to do and when it doesn't work, I'll take the blame but if you don't do what you are asked nothing can work. We had four guys doing one thing and one guy doing something else. It was one of our worst outings of the year.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In great pedigrees there are Governours and Chandlers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49541]]></link><description><![CDATA[In great pedigrees there are Governours and Chandlers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As by the way of innuendo Lucus is made a non lucendo. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59678]]></link><description><![CDATA[As by the way of innuendo Lucus is made a non lucendo.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59678</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fate is what happens to you when your luck runs out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12085]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fate is what happens to you when your luck runs out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Magdalen, Apostle to the Apostles  We are so farre off from condemning any of their labours ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7419]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Magdalen, Apostle to the Apostles  We are so farre off from condemning any of their labours that traveiled before us in this kinds, either in this land or beyond sea, ... that we acknowledge them to have been raised up of God, ... and that they deserve to be had of us and of posteritie in everlasting remembrance... Therefore blessed be they, and most honoured be their name, that breake the yce and give the onset upon that which helpeth forward to the saving of soules. Now what can be more available thereto, than to deliver Gods booke unto the Gods people in a tongue which they understand? ... So if we, building upon their foundation that went before us, and being holpen by their labours, doe endeavor to make that better which they left so good; no man, we are sure, has cause to mislike us; they, we persuade ourselves, if they were alive, would thank us. For is the Kingdom of God become words or syllables? Why should we be in bondage to them if we may be free?

You have only so much Religion as serves to disquiet you, to show you a handwriting on the wall, to interrupt your pleasures, and to appear as a death's-head at all your feasts, but not Religion enough to give you a taste and feeling of its pleasures. You dare not wholly neglect Religion, but then you take no more than is just sufficient to keep you from being a terror to yourself, and you are as loth to be very good as you are fearful to be very bad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on sin:  Evil is the soul's choice of the not-God.
