She not only abstained from beating him, but encouraged him. He next time stole a cloak and brought it to her, and she again commended him. The Youth, advanced to adulthood, proceeded to steal things of still greater value. At last he was caught in the very act, and having his hands bound behind him, was led away to the place of public execution. His Mother followed in the crowd and violently beat her breast in sorrow, whereupon the young man said, I wish to say something to my Mother in her ear. She came close to him, and he quickly seized her ear with his teeth and bit it off. The Mother upbraided him as an unnatural child, whereon he replied, Ah! if you had beaten me when I first stole and brought to you that lesson-book, I should not have come to this, nor have been thus led to a disgraceful death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To have acquired wealth is with many not to end but to change the nature of their troubles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51640]]></link><description><![CDATA[To have acquired wealth is with many not to end but to change the nature of their troubles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An ounce of hypocrisy is worth a pound of ambition. •Michael Korda   We ought to see far enough ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20243]]></link><description><![CDATA[An ounce of hypocrisy is worth a pound of ambition. •Michael Korda   We ought to see far enough into a hypocrite to see even his sincerity. •G.

Try as he may, he can only let his eyes wander distractedly from one to the other. But there is a place at which God and the cosmic reality are reconciled, a place at which God and man have become one. That and that alone is what enables man to set his eyes upon God and the world at the same time. This place does not lie somewhere out beyond reality in the realm of ideas. It lies in the midst of history as a divine miracle. It lies in Jesus Christ, the reconciler of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conjecture as to things useful, is good; but conjecture as to what it would be useless to know, is very ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59119]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conjecture as to things useful, is good; but conjecture as to what it would be useless to know, is very idle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59119</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is 10 percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21260]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is 10 percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But see, Orion sheds unwholesome dews; Arise, the pines a noxious shade diffuse;  Sharp Boreas blows, and nature feels ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61723]]></link><description><![CDATA[But see, Orion sheds unwholesome dews; Arise, the pines a noxious shade diffuse;  Sharp Boreas blows, and nature feels decay,   Time conquers all, and we must time obey.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I knew I had a great chance to win.
