As a defenseman, I look at scoring negatively, but it works both ways. I wonder about the expectations though. I played in Sweden, without a red line, and I don't think the game was faster. On the other hand, I wasn't playing with the best players in the world, as in the NHL. We'll adjust to the new icing rules and in a few years we won't remember what it was like before. There's always calls for new rules, but I just hope the game doesn't change too drastically.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Confusion is an often too subtle sign of paranoia. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9750]]></link><description><![CDATA[Confusion is an often too subtle sign of paranoia.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Far below and around lay the city like a ragged purple dream. The irregular houses were like the broken exteriors ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44435]]></link><description><![CDATA[Far below and around lay the city like a ragged purple dream. The irregular houses were like the broken exteriors of cliffs lining deep gulches and winding streams. Some were mountainous; some lay in long, monotonous rows like, the basalt precipices hanging over desert canons. Such was the background of the wonderful, cruel, enchanting, bewildering, fatal, great city. But into this background were cut myriads of brilliant parallelograms and circles and squares through which glowed many colored lights. And out of the violet and purple depths ascended like the city's soul, sound and odors and thrills that make up the civic body. There arose the breath of gaiety unrestrained, of love, of hate, of all the passions that man can know. There below him lay all things, good or bad, that can be brought from the four corners of the earth to instruct, please, thrill, enrich, elevate, cast down, nurture or kill. Thus the flavor of it came up to him and went into his blood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness, or else forgiving another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16538]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness, or else forgiving another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is noble to grant life to the vanquished. [Lat., Pulchrum est vitam donare minori.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27353]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is noble to grant life to the vanquished. [Lat., Pulchrum est vitam donare minori.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Until divers go down and actually examine the rigs and engineers can make estimates on the repair times, we just ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37321]]></link><description><![CDATA[Until divers go down and actually examine the rigs and engineers can make estimates on the repair times, we just won't know.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lean agreement is better than a fat judgment ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1922]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lean agreement is better than a fat judgment]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men, as well as women, are much oftener led by their hearts than bytheir understandings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22051]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men, as well as women, are much oftener led by their hearts than bytheir understandings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever has witnessed another's ideal becomes his inexorable judge and as it were his evil conscience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63668]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever has witnessed another's ideal becomes his inexorable judge and as it were his evil conscience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bell that tolls for all in boxing belongs to a cash register. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57485]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bell that tolls for all in boxing belongs to a cash register.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that respects himself is safe from others.

The apostle calls it the band of perfection; it is the old, and it is the new, and it is the great commandment, and it is all the commandments; for it is the fulfilling of the Law. It does the work of all the graces without any instrument but its own immediate virtue. For as the love of sin makes a man sin against all his own reason, and all the discourses of wisdom, and all the advices of his friends, and without temptation and without opportunity, so does the love of God: it makes a man chaste without the laborious arts of fasting and exterior disciplines, temperate in the midst of feasts, and is active enough to choose it without any intermedial appetites, and reaches at glory through the very heart of grace, without any other aims but those of love. It is a grace that loves God for Himself, and our neighbors for God. The consideration of God's goodness and bounty, the experience of those profitable and excellent emanations from Him, may be, and most commonly are, the first motive of our love; but when we are once entered, and have tasted the goodness of God, we love the spring for its own excellency, passing from passion to reason, from thanking to adoring, from sense to spirit, from considering ourselves to union with God: and this is the image and little representation of heaven; it is beatitude in picture, or rather the infancy and beginning of glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's been very important throughout my career that I've met all the guys I've copied, because at each stage they've ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10595]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's been very important throughout my career that I've met all the guys I've copied, because at each stage they've said, "Don't play like me, play like you.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wilt thou seal up the avenues of ill?
