He thus addressed him: "Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations." The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I understand by this passion the union of desire, friendship, and tenderness, which is inflamed by a single female, which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2105]]></link><description><![CDATA[I understand by this passion the union of desire, friendship, and tenderness, which is inflamed by a single female, which prefers her to the rest of her sex, and which seeks her possession as the supreme or the sole happiness of our being.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing that war has ever achieved we could not better achieve without it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/361]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing that war has ever achieved we could not better achieve without it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hopefully it'll be a guy we feel good about that can play in the Major Leagues someday.

They never fail to help widows; they save orphans from those who would hurt them. If a man has something, he gives freely to the man who has nothing. If they see a stranger, Christians take him home and are happy, as though he were a real brother. They don't consider themselves brothers in the usual sense, but brothers instead through the Spirit, in God. And if they hear that one of them is in jail, or persecuted for professing the name of their redeemer, they all give him what he needs -- if it is possible, they bail him out. If one of them is poor and there isn't enough food to go around, they fast several days to give him the food he needs... This is really a new kind of person. There is something divine in them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Men work together," I told him from the heart, "Whether they work together or apart." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62107]]></link><description><![CDATA["Men work together," I told him from the heart, "Whether they work together or apart."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62107</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One sweet, sad secret holds my heart in thrall; A mighty love within my breast has grown,  Unseen, unspoken, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25616]]></link><description><![CDATA[One sweet, sad secret holds my heart in thrall; A mighty love within my breast has grown,  Unseen, unspoken, and of no one known;   And of my sweet, who gave it, least of all.    [Fr., Ma vie a son secret, mon ame a son mystere:     Un amour eternel en un moment concu.      La mal est sans remede, aussi j'ai du le taire,       Et elle qui l'a fait n'en a jamais rien su.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My boat is on the shore, And my bark is on the sea:  But, before I go, Tom Moore, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59383]]></link><description><![CDATA[My boat is on the shore, And my bark is on the sea:  But, before I go, Tom Moore,   Here's a double health to thee!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Loyalty and devotion lead to bravery.
