This agreement being made, the Physician, time after time, applied his salve to her eyes, and on every visit took something away, stealing all her property little by little. And when he had got all she had, he healed her and demanded the promised payment. The Old Woman, when she recovered her sight and saw none of her goods in her house, would give him nothing. The Physician insisted on his claim, and. as she still refused, summoned her before the Judge. The Old Woman, standing up in the Court, argued: This man here speaks the truth in what he says; for I did promise to give him a sum of money if I should recover my sight: but if I continued blind, I was to give him nothing. Now he declares that I am healed. I on the contrary affirm that I am still blind; for when I lost the use of my eyes, I saw in my house various chattels and valuable goods: but now, though he swears I am cured of my blindness, I am not able to see a single thing in it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis said that wrath is the last thing in a man to grow old. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28747]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis said that wrath is the last thing in a man to grow old.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most glorious night! Thou wert not sent for slumber! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44518]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most glorious night! Thou wert not sent for slumber!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make no judgements where you have no compassion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9179]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make no judgements where you have no compassion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is very good for a man to talk about what he does not understand; as long as he understands ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52222]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is very good for a man to talk about what he does not understand; as long as he understands that he does not understand it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With bated breath we offer wicked vows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50597]]></link><description><![CDATA[With bated breath we offer wicked vows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In order for rapid population growth to matter, a nation must steadily create good, decent- paying jobs to benefit from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36687]]></link><description><![CDATA[In order for rapid population growth to matter, a nation must steadily create good, decent- paying jobs to benefit from it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humanism, it seems, is almost impossible in America where material progress is part of the national romance whereas in Europe ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19991]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humanism, it seems, is almost impossible in America where material progress is part of the national romance whereas in Europe such progress is relished because it feels nice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I learned much more from defeat than I ever learned from winning ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11790]]></link><description><![CDATA[I learned much more from defeat than I ever learned from winning]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The circumstances changed when I heard the other proposals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40436]]></link><description><![CDATA[The circumstances changed when I heard the other proposals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first task of a leader is to keep hope alive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21634]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first task of a leader is to keep hope alive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21634</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A clear conscience is a soft pillow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9811]]></link><description><![CDATA[A clear conscience is a soft pillow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5116]]></link><description><![CDATA[A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be stirring as the time; be fire with fire. Threaten the threat'ner, and outface the brow  Of bragging horror. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53967]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be stirring as the time; be fire with fire. Threaten the threat'ner, and outface the brow  Of bragging horror.
