For a long time the Farmer, brandishing an empty sling, chased them away by the terror he inspired; but when the birds found that the sling was only swung in the air, they ceased to take any notice of it and would not move. The Farmer, on seeing this, charged his sling with stones, and killed a great number. The remaining birds at once forsook his fields, crying to each other, It is time for us to be off to Liliput: for this man is no longer content to scare us, but begins to show us in earnest what he can do. If words suffice not, blows must follow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laughter is the closest distance between two people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10907]]></link><description><![CDATA[Laughter is the closest distance between two people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Character is higher than intellect.

Many preachers have made use of this fact to point out helpful spiritual implications; and yet, by New Testament times, the word carried no such denotation as "called out." It was simply the word for "assembly" or "congregation." It so happened that in the Greek city-states an assembly of the citizenry resulted from the people being called out of their city and summoned from their farms to participate in such gatherings. Even though the etymology of the word remains, its real meaning is just "assembly," and a Greek-speaking person of New Testament times would be no more inclined to understand ekklesia in its original etymological value of "called out" than we today would recognize "God be with you" in "good-by," which, as we may learn from the dictionary, was derived from the longer phrase.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48574]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you have a talent, use it in every which way possible.

Pray!, you say scornfully, pray! I knew it would all fizzle out, and come to nothing. I could pray! Yes, you could pray, and, whatever you may think about it -- using it as a poor makeshift of a thing much lower than a second-best, not really a best at all, on which men fall back only when they can do nothing effectively, and are too fidgety to be able to do nothing at all -- Christ holds that prayer is a tremendous power which achieves what, without it, was a sheer impossibility. And this amazing thing you can set into operation. And the fact that you are not so using it, and simply don't believe in it and its efficiency and efficacy as our fathers did, and that so many nowadays agree with you, is certainly a major reason why the churches are so cold, and the promises seem so tardy of fulfillment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As things stand, there is no consistent evidence that there is an increased risk of cancer associated with mobile phone ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30797]]></link><description><![CDATA[As things stand, there is no consistent evidence that there is an increased risk of cancer associated with mobile phone use, but we need to recognise that the statistics are not enormous.
