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[The study of economy usually shows us that the best time for purchase was last year. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13328]]></link><description><![CDATA[The study of economy usually shows us that the best time for purchase was last year.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We dance round in a ring and suppose, While the secret sits in the middle and knows ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55005]]></link><description><![CDATA[We dance round in a ring and suppose, While the secret sits in the middle and knows]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Exercising and eating a Mediterranean-style diet will improve your changes of staying healthy, regardless of your cholesterol, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38391]]></link><description><![CDATA[Exercising and eating a Mediterranean-style diet will improve your changes of staying healthy, regardless of your cholesterol,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes lots of practice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29159]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes lots of practice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The irony is that the person not taking risks feels the same amount offear as the person who regularly takes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21453]]></link><description><![CDATA[The irony is that the person not taking risks feels the same amount offear as the person who regularly takes risks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do it no matter what.

Man, a child of God, is a person with a personal destiny and with eternal value. This Christian belief underlies the democratic principle that the State, first of all, exists for the sake of its citizens; the individual is important... As Christians we also believe that we are made for one another because we are made for God. "Solidarity" is a good word for our essential condition. Beneath all our differences is a unity... This Christian belief underlies a second basic democratic principle, which is, in governing themselves, people of a community -- in a town, a city, a state, a nation -- can, despite inevitable conflicts, press effectively toward the goal of justice and liberty for all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman is most merciless when shame goads on her hate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50426]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman is most merciless when shame goads on her hate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature too unkind; That made no medicine for a troubled mind! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43789]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature too unkind; That made no medicine for a troubled mind!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trouble with a budget is that it's hard to fill up one hole without digging another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4966]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trouble with a budget is that it's hard to fill up one hole without digging another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My ignorance of science is such that if anyone mentioned copper nitrate I should think he was talking about policemen's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46878]]></link><description><![CDATA[My ignorance of science is such that if anyone mentioned copper nitrate I should think he was talking about policemen's overtime.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51915]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Giles of Provence, Hermit, c.710   To do for yourself the best that you have it in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8420]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Giles of Provence, Hermit, c.710   To do for yourself the best that you have it in you to do -- to grit your teeth and clench your fists in order to survive the world at its harshest and worst -- is by that very act, to be unable to let something be done for you and in you that is more wonderful still. The trouble with steeling yourself against the harshness of reality is that the same steel that secures your life against being destroyed secures your life also against being opened up and transformed by the holy power that life itself comes from. You can even prevail on your own. But you cannot become human on your own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Cuthbert, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 687  The desire for certitude is natural enough and explains the human ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7701]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Cuthbert, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 687  The desire for certitude is natural enough and explains the human tendency to mistake faith for certainty. This is not a specially religious mistake. We think of supernaturalism when faith is mentioned, but the naturalistic description of the world also operates on assumptions that require a faith as robust as does the most soaring mysticism. The usual efforts to skirt faith beg all the questions there are. A psychiatrist, for instance, who points out to you that you believe in God the Father because you need a father, or that you became a missionary to expiate your guilt feelings, may be quite correct, but he has not touched on the prior question as to whether there is, in fact, a cosmic father figure who is the archetype of all other fathers, or whether there is an evangel worth spending your life promulgating.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly.
