The best games are not those in whichall goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those inwhich the outcome is always in doubt. Similarly, the geometry of life isdesigned to keep us at the point of maximum tension between certainty anduncertainty, order and chaos. Every important call is a close one. Wesurvive and evolve by the skin of our teeth. We really wouldn't want itany other way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Questions show the mind's range, and answers its subtlety. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52786]]></link><description><![CDATA[Questions show the mind's range, and answers its subtlety.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I tried not to watch it, but we were shocked.

That is good, as far as it goes... But better still is the advice to study the Bible objectively, ... without regard, first of all, to our own subjective needs. Let the great passages fix themselves in our memory. Let them stay there permanently, like bright beacons, launching their powerful shafts of light upon life's problems -- our own and everyone's -- as they illumine, now one, now another dark area of human life. Following such a method, we discover that the Bible does "speak to our condition" and meet our needs, not just occasionally or when some emergency arises, but continually.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The schoolmaster is abroad!
