The Mother coming up, and missing one of her sons, inquired of his brothers what had become of him. He is dead, dear Mother; for just now a very huge beast with four great feet came to the pool and crushed him to death with his cloven heel. The Frog, puffing herself out, inquired, if the beast was as big as that in size. Cease, Mother, to puff yourself out, said her son, and do not be angry; for you would, I assure you, sooner burst than successfully imitate the hugeness of that monster.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He whom the gods love dies young, whilst he is full of health, perception, and judgment. [Lat., Quem dii diligunt, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50904]]></link><description><![CDATA[He whom the gods love dies young, whilst he is full of health, perception, and judgment. [Lat., Quem dii diligunt,  Adolescens moritur, dum valet, sentit, sapit.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rarer sene, the lesse in mynde, The lesse in mynde, the lesser payne. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56251]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rarer sene, the lesse in mynde, The lesse in mynde, the lesser payne.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm just happy that they're here with me and we get to play one more last game on the same ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33542]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm just happy that they're here with me and we get to play one more last game on the same side of the ball before we part.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's been an awesome experience, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38776]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's been an awesome experience,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The big thieves hang the little ones ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59072]]></link><description><![CDATA[The big thieves hang the little ones]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Before we work on artificial intelligence why don't we do something about natural stupidity? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9456]]></link><description><![CDATA[Before we work on artificial intelligence why don't we do something about natural stupidity?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I find it painful and angering to look in a mirror. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36826]]></link><description><![CDATA[I find it painful and angering to look in a mirror.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is impossible to predict the time and progress of revolution.

So, if God puts up with it for the sake of some good He foresees for you, and if you are willing to suffer what God suffers, and to take what comes to you through Him, then whatever it is, it becomes divine in itself; shame becomes honor, bitterness becomes sweet, and gross darkness, clear light. Everything takes its flavor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens [reveals] God when a man's mind works that way; things all have this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The total package.

Therefore he must not feel too keenly the burden of responsibility, because at the end of the day all he can say is, "We are unprofitable servants". This knowledge, far from inhibiting action, actually releases the Christian from that appalling feeling of responsibility that has driven so many high-minded humanists to despair, even to suicide... Work done conscientiously by the Christian is his share in Christ's service; but it is Christ's service, and therefore the Christian need neither be proud because it has succeeded or overwhelmed because it has failed. The service of Christ is supremely expressed in the apparent failure of the Cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If two men on a job agree all the time, then one is useless.

There is an apparent contradiction here, for how can we abide, and yet advance? It is a paradox, like much else in scripture; but Christian experience proves it true.
