The Housedog replied, Do not blame me, my friend, but find fault with the master, who has not taught me to labor, but to depend for subsistence on the labor of others. Children are not to be blamed for the faults of their parents.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtue alone is the unerring sign of a noble soul. [Fr., La vertu d'un coeur noble est la marque certaine.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60766]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtue alone is the unerring sign of a noble soul. [Fr., La vertu d'un coeur noble est la marque certaine.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the perpetual dread of fear, the fear of fear, that shapes the face of a brave man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66546]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the perpetual dread of fear, the fear of fear, that shapes the face of a brave man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The great Cham of literature.
