He thus addressed him: "Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations." The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are cruel, but Man is kind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10782]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men are cruel, but Man is kind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A real person has two reasons for doing anything . . . a good reason and the real reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24340]]></link><description><![CDATA[A real person has two reasons for doing anything . . . a good reason and the real reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957 There are three lessons I would write,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7531]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957 There are three lessons I would write,  Three words, as with a burning pen, In tracings of eternal light,  Upon the hearts of men. Have Hope. Though clouds environ round,  And gladness hides her face in scorn,  Put off the shadow from thy brow:  No night but hath its morn. Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven -  The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,  The inhabitants of earth. Have Love. Not love alone for one,  But man, as man, thy brother call;  And scatter, like a circling sun,  Thy charities on all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's first care should be to avoid the reproaches of his own heart, his next to escape the censures ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19027]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's first care should be to avoid the reproaches of his own heart, his next to escape the censures of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And each forgets, as he strips and runs With a brilliant, fitful pace,  It's the steady, quiet, plodding ones ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14932]]></link><description><![CDATA[And each forgets, as he strips and runs With a brilliant, fitful pace,  It's the steady, quiet, plodding ones   Who win in the lifelong race.    And each forgets that his youth has fled,     Forgets that his prime is past,      Till he stands one day, with a hope that's dead,       In the glare of the truth at last.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He has a strong union background, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35588]]></link><description><![CDATA[He has a strong union background,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In New York -- whose subway trains in particular have been ''tattooed'' with an energy to put our own rude ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35765]]></link><description><![CDATA[In New York -- whose subway trains in particular have been ''tattooed'' with an energy to put our own rude practitioners to shame -- not an inch of free space is spared except that of advertisements .
