She not only abstained from beating him, but encouraged him. He next time stole a cloak and brought it to her, and she again commended him. The Youth, advanced to adulthood, proceeded to steal things of still greater value. At last he was caught in the very act, and having his hands bound behind him, was led away to the place of public execution. His Mother followed in the crowd and violently beat her breast in sorrow, whereupon the young man said, I wish to say something to my Mother in her ear. She came close to him, and he quickly seized her ear with his teeth and bit it off. The Mother upbraided him as an unnatural child, whereon he replied, Ah! if you had beaten me when I first stole and brought to you that lesson-book, I should not have come to this, nor have been thus led to a disgraceful death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[held in a free and democratic atmosphere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36706]]></link><description><![CDATA[held in a free and democratic atmosphere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't use drugs, my dreams are frightening enough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52130]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't use drugs, my dreams are frightening enough.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the operation has been successful, so it is going to be two or three weeks before he is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30674]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the operation has been successful, so it is going to be two or three weeks before he is fit and available for selection.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adam knew Eve his wife and she conceived.

The way to keep it in peace is to enter into it by means of inward silence. When you see yourself more sharply assaulted, retreat into that region of peace; and you will find a fortress that will enable you to triumph over all your enemies, visible and invisible, and over all their snares and temptations. Within your own soul resides divine aid, and sovereign succour. Retreat within it, and all will be quiet, secure, peaceable, and calm. Thus, by means of mental silence, which can only be attained with divine help, you may look for tranquility in tumult: for solitude in company; for light in darkness; for forgetfulness in pressures: for vigour in despondency; for courage in fear; for resistance in temptation; and for quiet in tribulation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I remember when I was in college, people told me I couldn't play in the NBA.

But if the other members also have sinned, why should they not fast, too... Let the eye fast from strange sights and from every wantonness, so that that which roamed in freedom in fault-doing may, abundantly humbled, be checked by penitence. Let the ear, blameably eager to listen, fast from tales and rumors, and from whatsoever is of idle import, and tendeth least to salvation. Let the tongue fast from slanders and murmurings, and from useless, vain, and scurrilous words, and sometimes also, in the seriousness of silence, even from things which may seem of essential import. Let the hand abstain from ... all toils which are not imperatively necessary. But also let the soul herself abstain from all evils and from acting out her own will. For without such abstinence the other things find no favor with the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many a bum show has been saved by the flag. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47451]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many a bum show has been saved by the flag.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I handle fame by not being famous...I'm not famous to me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30323]]></link><description><![CDATA[I handle fame by not being famous...I'm not famous to me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The primary cause of the [denominational] divisions is the institutionalism and organisationalism of the churches, which, without vivifying the life ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7064]]></link><description><![CDATA[The primary cause of the [denominational] divisions is the institutionalism and organisationalism of the churches, which, without vivifying the life of the believers in them, smothers or drives it out of the ekklesia, and makes [the churches] merely dead institutions. Christians who really have life in Christ cannot exist within such a corpse and will at last have to come out of it. But in almost all cases, those who have come out of dead institutions want to have in their place another institution or other rituals and ceremonies, only repeating the same error. Instead of turning to Christ Himself as their center, they again seek to find fellowship and spiritual security on the very same basis that failed, not realizing that it is the institution that is killing, instead of producing, life in Christ.

Ah! but there is still One whose faith in you has never wavered. And how wonderful it is that that one should be Jesus Christ!...
