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.

It is violence when we use a sharp word, when we make a gesture to brush away a person, when we obey because there is fear. So violence isn't merely organized butchery in the name of God, in the name of society or country. Violence is much more subtle, much deeper, and we are inquiring into the very depths of violence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Look to the past for guidance into the future. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19434]]></link><description><![CDATA[Look to the past for guidance into the future.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To swallow gudgeons ere they're catch'd. And count their chickens ere they're hatch'd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16326]]></link><description><![CDATA[To swallow gudgeons ere they're catch'd. And count their chickens ere they're hatch'd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gold and silver from the dead turn often into lead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17791]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gold and silver from the dead turn often into lead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is a science; if you have the conditions, you get the result. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58165]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is a science; if you have the conditions, you get the result.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47065]]></link><description><![CDATA[Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I threw him back.
