He has all the shots. Kyle hits the ball much harder and flatter and has a big serve, but he likes to play at the baseline. Kevin has the more all-around game and likes to go to the net, but he's not nearly as powerful as Kyle. They don't look like they started at the same academy, which in a sense is good. Kids don't all need to be taught the same way because they have different strengths.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A nation which has forgotten the quality of courage which in the past has been brought to public life is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43716]]></link><description><![CDATA[A nation which has forgotten the quality of courage which in the past has been brought to public life is not as likely to insist upon or regard that quality in its chosen leaders today - and in fact we have forgotten.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quotes from Mao, Castro, and Che Guevara... are as germane to our highly technological, computerized society as a stagecoach on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4699]]></link><description><![CDATA[Quotes from Mao, Castro, and Che Guevara... are as germane to our highly technological, computerized society as a stagecoach on a jet runway at Kennedy airport.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He probably has some of the best putting strokes I have ever seen.

They know indeed that they are mortal, but they do not feel it. The truth rests in their understandings, and cannot gain admission into their hearts. This speculative persuasion is altogether different from that strong practical impression of the infinite importance of eternal things, which, attended with a proportionate sense of the shortness and uncertainty of all below, while it prompts to activity from a conviction that the night cometh when no man can work, produces a certain firmness of texture, which hardens us against the buffetings of fortune, and prevents our being very deeply penetrated by the cares and interests, the good or evil, of this transitory state.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Me therefore studious of laborious ease. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58036]]></link><description><![CDATA[Me therefore studious of laborious ease.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The initial reaction is being surprised and pleased.

Fear is nobler than sensuality. Fear is better than no God, better than a god made with hands. In that fear lay deep hidden the sense of the infinite. The worship of fear is true, though very low; and though not acceptable to God in itself -- for only the worship of spirit and of truth is acceptable to him -- yet even in His sight it is precious. For he regards men not as they are merely, but as they shall be; not as they shall be merely, but as they are now growing, or capable of growing, towards that image after which He made them that they might grow to it. Therefore a thousand stages, each in itself all but valueless, are of inestimable worth as the necessary and connected gradations of an infinite progress. A condition which of declension would indicate a devil, may of growth indicate a saint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Facts are stubborn things, but statistics are more pliable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65947]]></link><description><![CDATA[Facts are stubborn things, but statistics are more pliable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know they're not selling out.
