One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the moment of childbirth, every woman has the same aura of isolation, as though she were abandoned, alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23091]]></link><description><![CDATA[At the moment of childbirth, every woman has the same aura of isolation, as though she were abandoned, alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jupiter and the MonkeyJupiter issued a proclamation to all the beasts of the forest and promised a royal reward to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1576]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jupiter and the MonkeyJupiter issued a proclamation to all the beasts of the forest and promised a royal reward to the one whose offspring should be deemed the handsomest. The Monkey came with the rest and presented, with all a mother's tenderness, a flat-nosed, hairless, ill-featured young Monkey as a candidate for the promised reward. A general laugh saluted her on the presentation of her son. She resolutely said, I know not whether Jupiter will allot the prize to my son, but this I do know, that he is at least in the eyes of me his mother, the dearest, handsomest, and most beautiful of all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Instead of trying to build newer and bigger weapons of destruction, we should be thinking about getting more use out ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11712]]></link><description><![CDATA[Instead of trying to build newer and bigger weapons of destruction, we should be thinking about getting more use out of the ones we already have.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The great religious historian, Eusebius, ingenuously remarks that in his history he carefully omitted whatever tended to discredit the church, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19301]]></link><description><![CDATA[The great religious historian, Eusebius, ingenuously remarks that in his history he carefully omitted whatever tended to discredit the church, and that he piously magnified all that conduced to her glory]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The dream reveals the reality which conception lags behind.

They do not find it among Christians, because these Christians are talking where they should be listening. But he who can no longer listen to his brother will soon be no longer listening to God, either; he will be doing nothing but prattle in the presence of God, too. This is the beginning of the death of the spiritual life, and in the end there will be nothing left but spiritual chatter and clerical condescension arrayed in pious words ... never really speaking to others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods.

A quarter of an hour of this prayer, brings you out of your closet a new man; your heart feels the good of it; and every return of such a prayer, gives new life and growth to all your virtues, with more certainty, than the dew refreshes the herbs of the field: whereas, overlooking this true prayer of your own heart, and only at certain times taking a prayer that you find in a book, you have nothing to wonder at, if you are every day praying, and yet every day sinking further and further under all your infirmities.
