The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let him who has granted a favour speak not of it; let him who has received one, proclaim it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51167]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let him who has granted a favour speak not of it; let him who has received one, proclaim it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Damn right, it's fun.

On the most general level, they're an explicit acknowledgment that what you're doing is insufficiently interesting or rewarding for you to do it on your own. Nobody ever gave you a grade for learning how to play, how to ride a bicycle, or how to kiss. One of the best ways to destroy love for any of these activities would be through the use of grades, and the coercion and judgment they represent. Grades are a cudgel to bludgeon the unwilling into doing what they don't want to do, an important instrument in inculcating children into a lifelong subservience to whatever authority happens to be thrust over them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politics are usually the executive expression of human immaturity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46938]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politics are usually the executive expression of human immaturity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O heaven! were man But constant, he were perfect. -The Two Gentleman of Verona.
