A Dove sitting on a tree overhanging the water pluckeda leaf and let it fall into the stream close to her. The Antclimbed onto it and floated in safety to the bank. Shortlyafterwards a birdcatcher came and stood under the tree, and laidhis lime-twigs for the Dove, which sat in the branches. The Ant,perceiving his design, stung him in the foot. In pain thebirdcatcher threw down the twigs, and the noise made the Dovetake wing.One good turn deserves another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing training cannot do.

For infinite wisdom does not need telling what is best, and infinite goodness needs no urging to do it. But neither does God need any of those things that are done by finite agents, whether living or inanimate. He could, if He chose, repair our bodies miraculously without food; or give us food without the aid of farmers, bakers, and butchers; or knowledge without the aid of learned men; or convert the heathen without missionaries. Instead, He allows soils and weather and animals and the muscles, minds, and wills of men to cooperate in the execution of His will. "God", says Pascal, "instituted prayer in order to lend to His creatures the dignity of causality." But it is not only prayer; whenever we act at all, He lends us that dignity. It is not really stranger, nor less strange, that my prayers should affect the course of events than that my other actions should do so.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Correspondences are like small clothes before the invention of suspenders; it is impossible to keep them up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24647]]></link><description><![CDATA[Correspondences are like small clothes before the invention of suspenders; it is impossible to keep them up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I invent nothing, I rediscover. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3263]]></link><description><![CDATA[I invent nothing, I rediscover.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am the inferior of any man whose rights I trample under foot.

Joey Devine was one of the top pitchers ever in this conference, which he proved by what he did after he left here, making the big leagues in two months. Phil Davidson who was so versatile and played so many roles for us. He started, he came in in the sixth inning, came in the third, spot-started. He even closed some games. Phil was amazing for us.
