This agreement being made, the Physician, time after time, applied his salve to her eyes, and on every visit took something away, stealing all her property little by little. And when he had got all she had, he healed her and demanded the promised payment. The Old Woman, when she recovered her sight and saw none of her goods in her house, would give him nothing. The Physician insisted on his claim, and. as she still refused, summoned her before the Judge. The Old Woman, standing up in the Court, argued: This man here speaks the truth in what he says; for I did promise to give him a sum of money if I should recover my sight: but if I continued blind, I was to give him nothing. Now he declares that I am healed. I on the contrary affirm that I am still blind; for when I lost the use of my eyes, I saw in my house various chattels and valuable goods: but now, though he swears I am cured of my blindness, I am not able to see a single thing in it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is not in a man cannot come out of him surely. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48987]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is not in a man cannot come out of him surely.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[held in a free and democratic atmosphere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36706]]></link><description><![CDATA[held in a free and democratic atmosphere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Woman submits to her fate; man makes his. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27157]]></link><description><![CDATA[Woman submits to her fate; man makes his.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writing is the hardest way of earning a living, with the possible exception of wrestling alligators. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62437]]></link><description><![CDATA[Writing is the hardest way of earning a living, with the possible exception of wrestling alligators.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I train myself mentally with visualization.
