Wolf! and when his neighbors came to help him, laughed at them for their pains. The Wolf, however, did truly come at last. The Shepherd-boy, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror: Pray, do come and help me; the Wolf is killing the sheep; but no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any assistance. The Wolf, having no cause of fear, at his leisure lacerated or destroyed the whole flock. There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I didn't know what the numbers were, but I knew I needed to hit some shots.

Mary's, of course, was the better part -- the Lord said so, and we must not precisely contradict Him. But we will be careful not to despise Martha. No doubt, He approved of her, too. We could not get on without her, and indeed, having paid lip-service to God's opinion, we must admit that we greatly prefer her, for Martha was doing a really feminine job, whereas Mary was just behaving like any other disciple; and that is a hard pill to swallow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bush Sr. was a jerk, Quayle an idiot, Clinton was atrocious and disgusting, most of those who persecuted him were ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18055]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bush Sr. was a jerk, Quayle an idiot, Clinton was atrocious and disgusting, most of those who persecuted him were hypocritical, Gore is shallow and weak, Bradley is an idealist, Bush Jr. a fool, and all of the independent candidates act like they're on drugs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heart presence is about having more of your real self show up in each moment.

It's about being mentally, emotionally, and physically present in the heart. We often put so much energy and focus on how we "present" ourselves - the way we appear, what we wear,what we say, what car we drive. If we put a fraction of that energy into how we present ourselves to ourselves on the mental and emotional levels, we can greatly reduce anxiety and increase our vitality. -Doc Childre.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never let a fool kiss you, or a kiss fool you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38310]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never let a fool kiss you, or a kiss fool you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Girls usually have a paper mâché face on their wedding day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53371]]></link><description><![CDATA[Girls usually have a paper mâché face on their wedding day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His development has come along real well.
