The Father, unwilling to grant, and yet afraid to refuse his request, hit upon this expedient to rid himself of his importunities. He expressed his willingness to accept the Lion as the suitor of his daughter on one condition: that he should allow him to extract his teeth, and cut off his claws, as his daughter was fearfully afraid of both. The Lion cheerfully assented to the proposal. But when the toothless, clawless Lion returned to repeat his request, the Woodman, no longer afraid, set upon him with his club, and drove him away into the forest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our life's a flying shadow, God the pole, The needle pointing to Him is our soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20849]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our life's a flying shadow, God the pole, The needle pointing to Him is our soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boldness is ever blind, for it sees not dangers and inconveniences whence it is bad in council though good in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4466]]></link><description><![CDATA[Boldness is ever blind, for it sees not dangers and inconveniences whence it is bad in council though good in execution]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do to others what you would have them do to you."The source of the famous "Golden Rule."

This unification of speaker and listener is actually and extension and enlargement of ourselves, and new knowledge is always gained from this. Moreover, since true listening involves bracketing, a setting aside of the self, it also temporarily involves a total acceptance of the other. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will fell less and less vulnerable and more and more inclined to open up the inner recesses of his or her mind to the listener. As this happens, speaker and listener begin to appreciate each other more and more, and the duet dance of love is begun again. -M. Scott Peck.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are talking about the next generation of the CBC.

They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each one must individually bow. So one hundred worshippers meeting together, each one looking away to Christ, are in heart nearer to each other than they could possibly be were they to become 'unity' conscious and turn their eyes away from God to strive for closer fellowship. Social religion is perfected when private religion is purified. The body becomes stronger as its members become healthier. The whole church of God gains when the members that compose it begin to seek a better and a higher life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think if they are going to borrow money, it should be for something substantial.
