Let the princes hear and be afraid. But we must, in the meantime, be very careful not to despise or violate that authority of magistrates, full of venerable majesty, which God has established by the weightiest decrees, even though it may reside with the most unworthy men, who defile it as much as they can with their own wickedness. For, if the correction of unbridled despotism is the Lord's to avenge, let us not at once think that it is entrusted to us, to whom no command has been given except to obey and suffer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discretion of speech is more than eloquence, and to speak agreeably to him with whom we deal is more than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1359]]></link><description><![CDATA[Discretion of speech is more than eloquence, and to speak agreeably to him with whom we deal is more than to speak in good words, or in good order.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give me another horse!

As he was wandering about there he came upon aLion lying down moaning and groaning. At first he turned to flee,but finding that the Lion did not pursue him, he turned back andwent up to him. As he came near, the Lion put out his paw, whichwas all swollen and bleeding, and Androcles found that a hugethorn had got into it, and was causing all the pain. He pulledout the thorn and bound up the paw of the Lion, who was soon ableto rise and lick the hand of Androcles like a dog. Then the Liontook Androcles to his cave, and every day used to bring him meatfrom which to live. But shortly afterwards both Androcles and theLion were captured, and the slave was sentenced to be thrown tothe Lion, after the latter had been kept without food for severaldays. The Emperor and all his Court came to see the spectacle,and Androcles was led out into the middle of the arena. Soon theLion was let loose from his den, and rushed bounding and roaringtowards his victim. But as soon as he came near to Androcles herecognised his friend, and fawned upon him, and licked his handslike a friendly dog. The Emperor, surprised at this, summonedAndrocles to him, who told him the whole story. Whereupon theslave was pardoned and freed, and the Lion let loose to his nativeforest.Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some had rather lose their friend then their Jest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49756]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some had rather lose their friend then their Jest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that's foolish in the fault, let him be wise in the punishment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49415]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that's foolish in the fault, let him be wise in the punishment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him, that of plants and animals as that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14230]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him, that of plants and animals as that of his fellow men, and when he devotes himself helpfully to all life that is in need of help. -Albert Schweitzer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We usually know what we can do, but temptation shows us who we are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46309]]></link><description><![CDATA[We usually know what we can do, but temptation shows us who we are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The conception of the Church which we tend to reproduce as the fruit of our missionary work is so much ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7326]]></link><description><![CDATA[The conception of the Church which we tend to reproduce as the fruit of our missionary work is so much a replica of our own, so much that of a fundamentally settled body existing for the sake of its own members rather than that of a body of strangers and pilgrims, the sign and instrument of a supernatural and universal salvation to be revealed, that our missionary advance tends to follow the lines of cultural and political expansion. and to falter when that advance stops.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make me what Thou wouldst have me.

It is no use passing judgments and making scapegoats of this or that individual statesman or group of statesmen. Idealists make a great mistake in not facing the real facts sincerely and resolutely. They believe in the power of the spirit, in the goodness which is at the heart of things, in the triumph which is in store for the great moral ideals of the race. But this great faith only too often leads to an optimism which is sadly and fatally at variance with actual results. It is the realist and not the idealist who is generally justified by events. We forget that the human spirit, the spirit of goodness and truth in the world, is still only an infant crying in the night, and that the struggle with darkness is as yet mostly an unequal struggle. . . . Paris proved this terrible truth once more. It was not Wilson who failed there, but humanity itself. It was not the statesmen that failed, so much as the spirit of the peoples behind them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No crime is vulgar, but all vulgarity is crime ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61038]]></link><description><![CDATA[No crime is vulgar, but all vulgarity is crime]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings; Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings. -King Richard III. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56017]]></link><description><![CDATA[True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings; Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings. -King Richard III.
