He had compassion on it, and taking it up, placed it in his bosom. The Snake was quickly revived by the warmth, and resuming its natural instincts, bit its benefactor, inflicting on him a mortal wound. Oh, cried the Farmer with his last breath, I am rightly served for pitying a scoundrel. The greatest kindness will not bind the ungrateful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I cannot tell how the truth may be; I say the tale as 'twas said to me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54556]]></link><description><![CDATA[I cannot tell how the truth may be; I say the tale as 'twas said to me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bird of the broad and sweeping wing, Thy home is high in heaven,  Where wide the storms their banners ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13098]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bird of the broad and sweeping wing, Thy home is high in heaven,  Where wide the storms their banners fling,   And the tempest clouds are driven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without duty, life is soft and boneless; it cannot hold itself together. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24897]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without duty, life is soft and boneless; it cannot hold itself together.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A plain woman is one who, however beautiful, neglects to charm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5772]]></link><description><![CDATA[A plain woman is one who, however beautiful, neglects to charm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing better fitted to delight the reader than change of circumstances and varieties of fortune. [Lat., Nihil est ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5519]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing better fitted to delight the reader than change of circumstances and varieties of fortune. [Lat., Nihil est aptius delectationem lectoris quam temporum varietates fortunaeque vicissitudines.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't live on amusement.

Such churches may invite and suffer temporary periods of unpopularity -- by standing up for West Indian immigrants, say, or refusing indiscriminate baptism. But on the whole, the storms are weathered by churches, and ministers, whose interest in the community and presentation of the faith [are] alert and genuine. Even so, the Church has every excuse for getting itself disliked: none at all for escaping notice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let not a god interfere unless where a god's assistance is necessary.

What distinguishes the handling of these values in the churches is mainly the heavier dosage of religious vocabulary involved... Another way of putting this is to say that the churches operate with secular values while the secular institutions are permeated with religious terminology... An objective observer is hard put to tell the difference (at least in terms of values affirmed) between the church members and those who maintain an 'unchurched' status. Usually the most that can be said is that the church members hold the same values as everybody else, but with more emphatic solemnity. Thus, church membership in no way means adherence to a set of values at variance with those of the general society; rather, it means a stronger and more explicitly religious affirmation of the same values held by the community at large.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was like the last 15 minutes of the Syracuse game.

The Love Feast, which should have been the sign and symbol of perfect unity, has become a thing of divisions and class distinctions. And here there is something which only the newer translations reveal. In the older translations, it is said that to eat and drink at the sacrament without discerning the Lord's body is the way to judgment and not to salvation. But in the best Greek text, the word Lord's is not included. The sin is not to discern the body; that is to say, not to discern that the church is a body, not to be aware of the oneness of the church, not to be aware of the togetherness in which all its members should be joined.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Third Man Out: A Donald Strachey Mystery ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31291]]></link><description><![CDATA[Third Man Out: A Donald Strachey Mystery]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The naked truth is always better than the best dressed lie ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24788]]></link><description><![CDATA[The naked truth is always better than the best dressed lie]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The decisions are made in conjunction with specialists, aviation specialists, and doctors and the passenger's doctor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36777]]></link><description><![CDATA[The decisions are made in conjunction with specialists, aviation specialists, and doctors and the passenger's doctor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Believe in life's message; follow your hearts desired fate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25034]]></link><description><![CDATA[Believe in life's message; follow your hearts desired fate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But in the way of bargain, mark ye me, I 'll cavil on the ninth part of a hair. -King ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55877]]></link><description><![CDATA[But in the way of bargain, mark ye me, I 'll cavil on the ninth part of a hair. -King Henry IV.
