An Ox gave him this kindly warning: O unhappy creature! why should you thus, of your own accord, incur destruction and trust yourself in the house of your enemy?' The Stag replied: Only allow me, friend, to stay where I am, and I will undertake to find some favorable opportunity of effecting my escape. At the approach of the evening the herdsman came to feed his cattle, but did not see the Stag; and even the farm-bailiff with several laborers passed through the shed and failed to notice him. The Stag, congratulating himself on his safety, began to express his sincere thanks to the Oxen who had kindly helped him in the hour of need. One of them again answered him: We indeed wish you well, but the danger is not over. There is one other yet to pass through the shed, who has as it were a hundred eyes, and until he has come and gone, your life is still in peril. At that moment the master himself entered, and having had to complain that his oxen had not been properly fed, he went up to their racks and cried out: Why is there such a scarcity of fodder? There is not half enough straw for them to lie on. Those lazy fellows have not even swept the cobwebs away. While he thus examined everything in turn, he spied the tips of the antlers of the Stag peeping out of the straw. Then summoning his laborers, he ordered that the Stag should be seized and killed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The love of money is the root of all evil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42997]]></link><description><![CDATA[The love of money is the root of all evil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reason, ruling alone, is a force confining, and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.

If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him. Knowledge of Christ is so rich a treasure that the spirit of love must necessarily desire to impart it. The mere assurance that others have it not is sufficient proof of their need. This spirit of love throws aside intellectual arguments that they can do very well without it. But if this spirit is not present, a man is easily persuaded that to impart a knowledge of Christianity (for it is noteworthy that such men always speak of Christianity rather than of Christ) is not necessary -- nay, is superfluous expense of energy which might be better used in other ways.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Among all nations there should be vast temples raised where people might worship in silence and listen to it, for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43739]]></link><description><![CDATA[Among all nations there should be vast temples raised where people might worship in silence and listen to it, for it is the voice of God]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43739</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While good rains in August and September have alleviated drought conditions in portions of central and southern Illinois, the most ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37827]]></link><description><![CDATA[While good rains in August and September have alleviated drought conditions in portions of central and southern Illinois, the most severely affected area in northern Illinois remains stubbornly dry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The public good is in nothing more essentially interested, than in the protection of every individual's private rights. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54283]]></link><description><![CDATA[The public good is in nothing more essentially interested, than in the protection of every individual's private rights.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We did what was best for the horse, not what other people thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36313]]></link><description><![CDATA[We did what was best for the horse, not what other people thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men have ascribed to God imperfections that they would deplore in themselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56894]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men have ascribed to God imperfections that they would deplore in themselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never break your putter and your driver in the same round or you're dead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57760]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never break your putter and your driver in the same round or you're dead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It must be so--Plato, thou reasonest well!-- Else whence this pleasing hope, this fond desire,  This longing after immortality? ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20594]]></link><description><![CDATA[It must be so--Plato, thou reasonest well!-- Else whence this pleasing hope, this fond desire,  This longing after immortality?   Or whence this secret dread, and inward horror,    O falling into nought?
