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[Every effort for progress, for enlightenment, for science, for religious, political, and economic liberty, emanates from the minority, and not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26207]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every effort for progress, for enlightenment, for science, for religious, political, and economic liberty, emanates from the minority, and not from the mass]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There be many that say, Who will shew us any good?
