I go up there thinking that no one can beat me. Just know that the pitcher isn't going to beat you every at-bat. In baseball, you can fail 70 percent of the time and that means you're a great hitter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gambling is a disease of barbarians superficially civilized. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17162]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gambling is a disease of barbarians superficially civilized.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No greater grief than to remember days Of joy when misery is at hand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48798]]></link><description><![CDATA[No greater grief than to remember days Of joy when misery is at hand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are born equal but they are also born different. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14122]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men are born equal but they are also born different.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a donkey bray at you, don't bray at him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56980]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a donkey bray at you, don't bray at him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/474]]></link><description><![CDATA[To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecilia, Martyr at Rome, c.230 Commemoration of Clive Staples Lewis, Spiritual Writer, 1963  I too had noticed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8536]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecilia, Martyr at Rome, c.230 Commemoration of Clive Staples Lewis, Spiritual Writer, 1963  I too had noticed that our prayers for others flow more easily than those we offer on our own behalf. And it would be nice to accept your view that this just shows we are made to live by charity. I'm afraid, however, I detect two much less attractive reasons for the ease of my own intercessory prayers. One is that I am often, I believe, praying for others when I should be doing things for them. It's so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see him. And the other is like unto it. Suppose I pray that you may be given grace to withstand your besetting sin (short list of candidates for this post will be forwarded on demand). Well, all the work has to be done by God and you. If I pray against my own besetting sin there will be work for me. One sometimes fights shy of admitting an act to be a sin for this very reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Keep a green tree in your heart, and maybe one day a bird will come. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62841]]></link><description><![CDATA[Keep a green tree in your heart, and maybe one day a bird will come.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Martin Luther King said America had given a badcheck to black people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52902]]></link><description><![CDATA[Martin Luther King said America had given a badcheck to black people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the load commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61747]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the load commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You've got to sing like you don't need the money.

Paul, too, used this expression, but he placed alongside it a parallel form of words, "in Christ" or "in Christ Jesus". Where we find these words used we are being reminded of the intimate union with Christ which makes the Christian life an eternal life lived in the midst of time. The deeper shade of meaning would often be conveyed to our minds if we translated the phrase "in communion with Christ". But, Paul's Christ mysticism is saved from the introverted individualism of many forms of mysticism by his insistence that communion with Christ is also communion with all who are Christ's.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It really hasn't settled in yet that it's almost over.
