But this one little boy had gotten an old enema bag and filled it with rocks, and he would go around and whap the other children across the face with it. Man, I think my heart almost broke.  Later the boy came up and offered to give me the toy. This was too much! I reached out my hand, but then he ran away. I chased him down and took the enema bag.

Are you willing to be made glad that you were wrong when you thought others were wrong?... We may trust God with our past as heartily as with our future. It will not hurt us so long as we do not try to hide things, so long as we are ready to bow our heads in hearty shame where it is fit that we should be ashamed. For to be ashamed is a holy and blessed thing. Shame is a thing to shame only those who want to appear, not those who want to be. Shame is to shame those who want to pass their examination, not those who would get into the heart of things... To be humbly ashamed is to be plunged in the cleansing bath of truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A discovery is said to be an accident meeting a prepared mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63719]]></link><description><![CDATA[A discovery is said to be an accident meeting a prepared mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3094]]></link><description><![CDATA[The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This promises well for Carlos' chances in the rest of the race.

As long as the war lasted, he looked upon him as his fellow-helper in all emergencies and fed him carefully with hay and corn. But when the war was over, he only allowed him chaff to eat and made him carry heavy loads of wood, subjecting him to much slavish drudgery and ill-treatment. War was again proclaimed, however, and when the trumpet summoned him to his standard, the Soldier put on his charger its military trappings, and mounted, being clad in his heavy coat of mail. The Horse fell down straightway under the weight, no longer equal to the burden, and said to his master, You must now go to the war on foot, for you have transformed me from a Horse into an Ass; and how can you expect that I can again turn in a moment from an Ass to a Horse?'.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who stand for nothing fall for anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27946]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who stand for nothing fall for anything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fortune knocks but once, but misfortune has much more patience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42824]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fortune knocks but once, but misfortune has much more patience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the Creator had a purpose in equipping us with a neck, he surely meant us to stick it out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4472]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the Creator had a purpose in equipping us with a neck, he surely meant us to stick it out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Live like yourself," was soon my lady's word, And lo! two puddings smok'd upon the board. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13251]]></link><description><![CDATA["Live like yourself," was soon my lady's word, And lo! two puddings smok'd upon the board.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reputation is rarely proportioned to virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53901]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reputation is rarely proportioned to virtue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would like to make it clear that I am continuing as manager of Leicester City, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42702]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would like to make it clear that I am continuing as manager of Leicester City,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42702</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Concerning all acts of iniative and creation, there is one elementary truth- that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5576]]></link><description><![CDATA[Concerning all acts of iniative and creation, there is one elementary truth- that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too. -W.H.
