Miss, Misses (Mrs.) and Mister (Mr.) are the three most distinctly disagreeable words in the language, in sound and sense. Two are corruptions of Mistress, the other of Master.

He desires his transcript to be faithful to the meaning of the original, so far as he can reach that meaning, and also to do some justice to its literary qualities. But he is well aware that his aim often exceeds his grasp. Translation may be a fascinating task, yet no discipline is more humbling. You may be translating oracles, but soon you learn the risk and folly of posing as an oracle yourself. If your readers are dissatisfied at any point, they may be sure that the translator is still more dissatisfied, if not there, then elsewhere -- all the more so, because, in the nature of the case, he has always to appear dogmatic in print.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why is it drug addicts and computer aficionados are both called users? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/587]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why is it drug addicts and computer aficionados are both called users?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Herdsman and the Lost Bull A herdsman tending his flock in a forest lost a Bull-calf from the fold. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1523]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Herdsman and the Lost Bull A herdsman tending his flock in a forest lost a Bull-calf from the fold. After a long and fruitless search, he made a vow that, if he could only discover the thief who had stolen the Calf, he would offer a lamb in sacrifice to Hermes, Pan, and the Guardian Deities of the forest. Not long afterwards, as he ascended a small hillock, he saw at its foot a Lion feeding on the Calf. Terrified at the sight, he lifted his eyes and his hands to heaven, and said: Just now I vowed to offer a lamb to the Guardian Deities of the forest if I could only find out who had robbed me; but now that I have discovered the thief, I would willingly add a full-grown Bull to the Calf I have lost, if I may only secure my own escape from him in safety.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Constant togetherness is fine - but only for Siamese twins ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59941]]></link><description><![CDATA[Constant togetherness is fine - but only for Siamese twins]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know what charm is: a way of getting the answer yes without having asked any clear question. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5769]]></link><description><![CDATA[You know what charm is: a way of getting the answer yes without having asked any clear question.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Confusion's cure lives not In these confusions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51480]]></link><description><![CDATA[Confusion's cure lives not In these confusions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[18 straight whiskies - I think that's a record. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24150]]></link><description><![CDATA[18 straight whiskies - I think that's a record.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The men with the muck-rake are often indispensable to the well-being of society, but only if they know when to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10197]]></link><description><![CDATA[The men with the muck-rake are often indispensable to the well-being of society, but only if they know when to stop raking the muck.   - Theodore Roosevelt,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger is an expensive luxury in which only men of certain income can indulge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26098]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger is an expensive luxury in which only men of certain income can indulge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ill fortune seldom comes alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16582]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ill fortune seldom comes alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We just happened to make the last play.

If it is true that evil is evil, that God hates it to the point of the cross, and that there is a moral law fixed in what God is in Himself, then Christians should be the first into the field against what is wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you help others, you will be helped, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps in one hundred years, but you will be helped. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60955]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you help others, you will be helped, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps in one hundred years, but you will be helped.
