They assembled on a certain day to carry out their purpose, and sharpened their horns for the contest. But one of them who was exceedingly old (for many a field had he plowed) thus spoke: These Butchers, it is true, slaughter us, but they do so with skillful hands, and with no unnecessary pain. If we get rid of them, we shall fall into the hands of unskillful operators, and thus suffer a double death: for you may be assured, that though all the Butchers should perish, yet will men never want beef. Do not be in a hurry to change one evil for another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is deservedly suffered must be borne with calmness, but when the pain is unmerited, the grief is resistless. [Lat., ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58204]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is deservedly suffered must be borne with calmness, but when the pain is unmerited, the grief is resistless. [Lat., Leniter ex merito quidquid patiare ferendum est,  Quae venit indigne poena dolenda venit.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When my water-proof umbrella proved a sieve, sieve, sieve, When my shiny new umbrella proved a sieve. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60001]]></link><description><![CDATA[When my water-proof umbrella proved a sieve, sieve, sieve, When my shiny new umbrella proved a sieve.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ring out ye crystal spheres! Once bless our human ears,  If ye have power to touch our senses so; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8641]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ring out ye crystal spheres! Once bless our human ears,  If ye have power to touch our senses so;   And let your silver chime    Move in melodious time,     And let the bass of Heaven's deep organ blow;      And with your ninefold harmony       Make up full consort to the angelic symphony.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If slander be a snake, it is a winged one--it flies as well as creeps. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56544]]></link><description><![CDATA[If slander be a snake, it is a winged one--it flies as well as creeps.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  I have called my material surroundings a stage set.

In this I can act. And you may well say "act". For what I call "myself" (for all practical, everyday purposes) is also a dramatic construction; memories, glimpses in the shavinglass, and snatches of the very fallible activity called "introspection", are the principal ingredients. Normally I call this construction "me"' and the stage set "the real world". Now the moment of prayer is for me -- or involves for me as its condition -- the awareness, the reawakened awareness, that this "real world" and "real self" are very far from being rock-bottom realities. I cannot, in the flesh, leave the stage, either to go behind the scenes or to take my seat in the pit; but I can remember that these regions exist. And I also remember that my apparent self -- this clown or hero or super -- under his grease-paint is a real person with an off-stage life. The dramatic person could not tread the stage unless he concealed a real person: unless the real and unknown I existed, I would not even make mistakes about the imagined me. And in prayer this real I struggles to speak, for once, from his real being, and to address, for once, not the other actors, but -- what shall I call Him? The Author, for He invented us all? The Producer, for He controls all? Or the Audience, for He watches, and will judge, the performance?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The future of civilization depends on our overcoming the meaninglessness and hopelessness that characterizes the thoughts of men today. -Albert ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22792]]></link><description><![CDATA[The future of civilization depends on our overcoming the meaninglessness and hopelessness that characterizes the thoughts of men today. -Albert Schweitzer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody dies from lack of sex.

Sing, creatures, sing; the dust that lives by lure and lust Is kindled by the thrust of life undying; This hope our Master bare has made all fortunes fair, And man can on and dare, his death defying.

Care gives latitude to another person and gets you past the dislikes and annoyances. Quite simply, caring sustains love. Doc Childre and Sara Paddison, HeartMath Discovery Program Are there certain friends you turn to when you have a problem or need to be listened to? Think about this: - Are they compassionate, understanding and nurturing? - Are they totally present, giving you their undivided attention? - Do they try to solve your problems for you or do they help you to get clarity so that you can solve your own problems? - Do they let you talk until you're done? Chances are the people you turn to for support and understanding are good listeners. You can develop these qualities as well and take them even deeper into "essence understanding" through mastering deep heart listening. James Allen In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, for in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. Frances Ward Weller -Sara Paddison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You may deceive all the people part of the time, and part of the people all the time, but not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28300]]></link><description><![CDATA[You may deceive all the people part of the time, and part of the people all the time, but not all the people all the time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is art?
