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[Often, the less there is to justify a traditional custom, the harder it is to get rid of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23671]]></link><description><![CDATA[Often, the less there is to justify a traditional custom, the harder it is to get rid of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[--They write here one Cornelius--Son Hath made the Hollanders an invisible eel  To swim the haven at Dunkirk, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44002]]></link><description><![CDATA[--They write here one Cornelius--Son Hath made the Hollanders an invisible eel  To swim the haven at Dunkirk, and sink all   The shipping there.    --But how is't done?     --I'll show you, sir.      It is automa, runs under water       With a snug nose, and has a nimble tail        Made like an auger, with which tail she wriggles         Betwixt the costs of a ship and sinks it straight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some die too young, some die too old; the precept sounds strange, but die at the right age ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11461]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some die too young, some die too old; the precept sounds strange, but die at the right age]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace is liberty in tranquillity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24704]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace is liberty in tranquillity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's no half-singing in the shower, you're either a rock star or an opera diva. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17050]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's no half-singing in the shower, you're either a rock star or an opera diva.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Glory is a heavy burden, a murdering poison, and to bear it is an art.
