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[cslab9a /u/jcn/src/perl -> man sex No manual entry for sex. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57111]]></link><description><![CDATA[cslab9a /u/jcn/src/perl -> man sex No manual entry for sex.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am at this moment thirty-seven years old.

Is it a total contradiction of it? Is it some sort of a reflection of it? or perhaps a devil's parody of it? Or has it nothing to do with it at all? Perhaps there will be many Christians to whom it would not occur to pose the question whether the process of secularization has anything to do with the biblical understanding of the goal of history. The Bible, for them, belongs to a religious world which is not admitted to belong to the world of secular events -- the world in which we are when we read the daily newspaper. But this is to read the Bible wrongly. Whatever else it may be, the Bible is a secular book dealing with the sort of events which a news editor accepts for publication in a daily newspaper; it is concerned with secular events, wars, revolutions, enslavements and liberations, migrants and refugees, famines and epidemics and all the rest. It deals with events which happened and tells a story which can be checked. We miss this because we do not sufficiently treat the Bible as a whole. When we do this, we see at once that the Bible -- whatever be the variety of material which it contains: poetry, prayers, legislation, genealogy, and all the rest -- is in its main design a universal history. It is an interpretation of human history as a whole, beginning with the saga of creation and ending with a vision of the gathering together of all the nations and the consummation of God's purpose for mankind. The Bible is an outline of world history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have no more right to put our discordant states of mind into the lives of those around us and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9241]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have no more right to put our discordant states of mind into the lives of those around us and rob them of their sunshine and brightness than we have to enter their houses and steal their silverware.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The woman who can create her own job is the woman who will win fame and fortune. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63781]]></link><description><![CDATA[The woman who can create her own job is the woman who will win fame and fortune.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I take photographs with love, so I try to make them art objects.
