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[Subdue your appetites, my dears, and you've conquered human nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/194]]></link><description><![CDATA[Subdue your appetites, my dears, and you've conquered human nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are healed of a suffering only by experiencing it in full. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58218]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are healed of a suffering only by experiencing it in full.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's physical hunger does not prove that that man will get any bread; he may die of starvation on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8552]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's physical hunger does not prove that that man will get any bread; he may die of starvation on a raft in the Atlantic. But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating, and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a women and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called "falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yes, definitely.

Forgiveness is God's idea, God's desire; and it is He who appoints both the Judge and the Counsel for the Defense. It was He who inaugurated the priestly work, that men might receive His cleansing and turn to the Lamb of God slain from the foundation of the world. God has provided for himself a Lamb. It is He who sends His Son to be our Elder Brother, and to incorporate us as adopted sons into the circle of His Fatherly love. So then it is the voice of His beloved Son which is most clearly heard by the Father in heaven. In that voice of intercession, all the voices of intercession are contained and heard. The Son is talking to the Father about us, and what He says is not Please but Yes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Helpe thy selfe, and God will helpe thee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49490]]></link><description><![CDATA[Helpe thy selfe, and God will helpe thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Think, oh, grateful think! How good the God of Harvest is to you;  Who pours abundance o'er your flowing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18768]]></link><description><![CDATA[Think, oh, grateful think! How good the God of Harvest is to you;  Who pours abundance o'er your flowing fields,   While those unhappy partners of you kind    Wide-hover round you, like the fowls of heaven,     And ask their humble dole.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be matter of fact about the world is to blunder into fantasy -- and dull fantasy at that, as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15308]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be matter of fact about the world is to blunder into fantasy -- and dull fantasy at that, as the real world is strange and wonderful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Last year it moved late, so people sat in base camp all May just waiting for an opportunity to go. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30876]]></link><description><![CDATA[Last year it moved late, so people sat in base camp all May just waiting for an opportunity to go.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30876</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chide him for faults, and do it reverently, When you perceive his blood inclined to mirth,  But, being moody, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15468]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chide him for faults, and do it reverently, When you perceive his blood inclined to mirth,  But, being moody, give him time and scope,   Till that his passions, like a whale on ground,    Confound themselves with working.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Listen, sweet Dove, unto my song, And spread thy golden wings in me;  Hatching my tender heart so long, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12804]]></link><description><![CDATA[Listen, sweet Dove, unto my song, And spread thy golden wings in me;  Hatching my tender heart so long,   Till it get wing, and flie away with Thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Teach not thy lip such scorn, for it was made For kissing, lady, not for such contempt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64243]]></link><description><![CDATA[Teach not thy lip such scorn, for it was made For kissing, lady, not for such contempt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The renewal of our natures is a work of great importance.
