At shearing time, wishing to take his fleece and to avoid expense, she sheared him herself, but used the shears so unskillfully that with the fleece she sheared the flesh. The Sheep, writhing with pain, said, Why do you hurt me so, Mistress? What weight can my blood add to the wool? If you want my flesh, there is the butcher, who will kill me in an instant; but if you want my fleece and wool, there is the shearer, who will shear and not hurt me. The least outlay is not always the greatest gain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Constancy is the complement of all other human virtues ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9897]]></link><description><![CDATA[Constancy is the complement of all other human virtues]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10309]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't live on a hill.

What causes this odd state of affairs? The root cause is the same as in most cases of error in the Church--the intruding of rationalistic speculations, the passion for systematic consistency, a reluctance to recognize the existence of mystery and to let God be wiser than men, and a consequent subjecting of Scripture to the supposed demands of human logic. People see that the Bible teaches man's responsibility for his actions; they do not see how this is consistent with the sovereign Lordship of God over those actions. They are not content to let the two truths live side by side, as they do in the Scriptures, but jump to the conclusion that, in order to uphold the biblical truth of human responsibility, they are bound to reject the equally biblical and equally true doctrine of divine sovereignty, and to explain away the great number of texts that teach it. The desire to over-simplify the Bible by cutting out the mysteries is natural to our perverse minds, and it is not surprising, that even good men should fall victims to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You may boldly say, you did not plough Or trust the barren and ungrateful sands  With the fruitful grain ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14924]]></link><description><![CDATA[You may boldly say, you did not plough Or trust the barren and ungrateful sands  With the fruitful grain of your religious counsels.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good Gertrude, set some watch over your son.-- This grave shall have a living monument.  An hour of quiet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43052]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good Gertrude, set some watch over your son.-- This grave shall have a living monument.  An hour of quiet shortly shall we see;   Till then in patience our proceeding be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43052</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the girl who is able to earn her own living and pay her own way should be as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66372]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the girl who is able to earn her own living and pay her own way should be as happy as anybody on earth.
