After a time he went to the daughter who had married the gardener, and inquired how she was and how all things went with her. She said, All things are prospering with me, and I have only one wish, that there may be a heavy fall of rain, in order that the plants may be well watered. Not long after, he went to the daughter who had married the tilemaker, and likewise inquired of her how she fared; she replied, I want for nothing, and have only one wish, that the dry weather may continue, and the sun shine hot and bright, so that the bricks might be dried. He said to her, If your sister wishes for rain, and you for dry weather, with which of the two am I to join my wishes?'.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Glory is never where virtue is not. [Fr., La gloire n'est jamais ou la vertu n'est pas.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17544]]></link><description><![CDATA[Glory is never where virtue is not. [Fr., La gloire n'est jamais ou la vertu n'est pas.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["A fair day's wage for a fair day's work": it is as just a demand as governed men ever made ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61061]]></link><description><![CDATA["A fair day's wage for a fair day's work": it is as just a demand as governed men ever made of governing.

They know indeed that they are mortal, but they do not feel it. The truth rests in their understandings, and cannot gain admission into their hearts. This speculative persuasion is altogether different from that strong practical impression of the infinite importance of eternal things, which, attended with a proportionate sense of the shortness and uncertainty of all below, while it prompts to activity from a conviction that the night cometh when no man can work, produces a certain firmness of texture, which hardens us against the buffetings of fortune, and prevents our being very deeply penetrated by the cares and interests, the good or evil, of this transitory state.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7185</guid></item></channel></rss>
