There had been days when he had been too hectoring or domineering -- so, at least, these impossible people had said, though he himself denied it still. At all events, protesting to Rome, they had won the Emperor's ear, and humbled their governor. And that must not happen again. Ah, me! Is not this life of ours a fearsome thing? Take care! take care! for if you sin that sin, be sure that somehow you will pay for it -- and, it may be, at how hideous a price! So Pilate found in his day; so you, too, will find it in ours... Only God knows what may come out of that, if you should give way to it. Pilate was curt and domineering to the Jews one day. And it was because of that, months later, his unwilling hands set up the cross of Christ: unwilling -- but they did it. Take you care! for sin is very merciless. If you have had the sweet, [sin] will see to it that you quaff the bitter to the very dregs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19762]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science may have found a cure for most evils, but it has found no remedy for the worst of them ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54786]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science may have found a cure for most evils, but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all--the apathy of human beings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The strategy is to frustrate the other team by trying to make them play in front of you, by not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37604]]></link><description><![CDATA[The strategy is to frustrate the other team by trying to make them play in front of you, by not giving them holes and by being as compact as possible.
