They assembled on a certain day to carry out their purpose, and sharpened their horns for the contest. But one of them who was exceedingly old (for many a field had he plowed) thus spoke: These Butchers, it is true, slaughter us, but they do so with skillful hands, and with no unnecessary pain. If we get rid of them, we shall fall into the hands of unskillful operators, and thus suffer a double death: for you may be assured, that though all the Butchers should perish, yet will men never want beef. Do not be in a hurry to change one evil for another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have a generation of young people who have grown up with recycling, and now they can't throw a can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42005]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have a generation of young people who have grown up with recycling, and now they can't throw a can away.

These are talents in their kind; but it is the Spirit that must manage all that learning they have, or it will prejudice them, and you also. I have known some good men who have been so addicted to their study, that they have thought the last day of the week sufficient to prepare for their ministry, though they employ all the rest of the week in other studies. But you business is to trade with your spiritual abilities... A man may preach a very good sermon, who is otherwise himself; but he will never make a good minister of Jesus Christ, whose mind and heart [are] not always in the work. Spiritual gifts will require continual ruminating on the things of the Gospel in our minds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66543]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man ever yet became great by imitation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20578]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man ever yet became great by imitation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The claim that Religious believers have a happier outlook on life than Religious skeptics is like saying a drunken man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32970]]></link><description><![CDATA[The claim that Religious believers have a happier outlook on life than Religious skeptics is like saying a drunken man is happier than a sober man.
