With all due respect to Columbus, I think everyone around the league looked at this game and thought Columbus didn't have a shot, and I think maybe that is what we thought too. We were a little complacent, because I can think of one and half good chances we had.

Why, would the same not be possible to a good will? Yes, indeed, and even much more so. Surely, I can do all things with the will. I can bear the sorrow of all men and feed all the poor and do the work of all men and whatever else you may think of. If it be not the will that fails you, but only the power, then truly, before God, you have done it all, and no man can take it from you or even hinder you for a moment; for to will to do as soon as I can is the same before God as having done it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Lanfranc, Prior of Le Bec, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1089  Jesus hath many lovers of His heavenly kingdom, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7398]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Lanfranc, Prior of Le Bec, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1089  Jesus hath many lovers of His heavenly kingdom, but few bearers of His Cross. He hath many seekers of comfort, but few of tribulation. He findeth many companions of His table, but few of His fasting. All desire to rejoice with Him, few are willing to undergo anything for His sake. Many follow Jesus that they may eat of His loaves, but few that they may drink of the cup of His passion. Many are astonished at His miracles, few follow after the shame of His Cross. Many love Jesus so long as no adversities happen to them. Many praise Him and bless Him, so long as they receive any comforts from Him. But if Jesus hide Himself and withdraw a little while, they fall either into complaining or into too great dejection of mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discontent is likely to be highest when misery is bearable; when conditions have so improved that an ideal state seems ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47602]]></link><description><![CDATA[Discontent is likely to be highest when misery is bearable; when conditions have so improved that an ideal state seems almost within reach. A grievance is most poignant when almost redressed. De Tocqueville in his researches into the state of society in France before the revolution was struck by the discovery that "in no one of the periods which have followed the Revolution of 1789 has the national prosperity of France augmented more rapidly than it did in the twenty years preceding that event." He is forced to conclude that "the French found their position the more intolerable the better it became.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perhaps the early grave Which men weep over may be meant to save. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18214]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perhaps the early grave Which men weep over may be meant to save.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No excellent soul is exempt from a mixture of madness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21031]]></link><description><![CDATA[No excellent soul is exempt from a mixture of madness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21031</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they're yours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65666]]></link><description><![CDATA[Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they're yours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No person was ever honored for what he received.

For prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted. And if an infinitely wise Being listens to the requests of finite and foolish creatures, of course He will sometimes grant and sometimes refuse them. Invariable "success" in prayer would not prove the Christian doctrine at all. It would prove something more like magic -- a power in certain human beings to control, or compel, the course of nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I played, I had a natural ability to jump and run, and I just wanted to get bigger and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30473]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I played, I had a natural ability to jump and run, and I just wanted to get bigger and heavier.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not uncommon to see kids on the school bus reading books and doing homework on the bus. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29492]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not uncommon to see kids on the school bus reading books and doing homework on the bus.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet a little while, and (the happy hour) will be over, nor ever more shall we be able to recall ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50603]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet a little while, and (the happy hour) will be over, nor ever more shall we be able to recall it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Somewhere or other there must surely be The face not seen, the voice not heard,  The heart that not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58529]]></link><description><![CDATA[Somewhere or other there must surely be The face not seen, the voice not heard,  The heart that not yet--never yet--ah me!   Made answer to my word.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58529</guid></item></channel></rss>
