The Father, unwilling to grant, and yet afraid to refuse his request, hit upon this expedient to rid himself of his importunities. He expressed his willingness to accept the Lion as the suitor of his daughter on one condition: that he should allow him to extract his teeth, and cut off his claws, as his daughter was fearfully afraid of both. The Lion cheerfully assented to the proposal. But when the toothless, clawless Lion returned to repeat his request, the Woodman, no longer afraid, set upon him with his club, and drove him away into the forest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No tye can oblige the perfidious. [No tie can oblige the perfidious.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49656]]></link><description><![CDATA[No tye can oblige the perfidious. [No tie can oblige the perfidious.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49656</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He cannot be vertuous that is not rigorous. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49311]]></link><description><![CDATA[He cannot be vertuous that is not rigorous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I learned basic cookery from my mom, taught myself cake techniques and then got fed up with my own cakes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37223]]></link><description><![CDATA[I learned basic cookery from my mom, taught myself cake techniques and then got fed up with my own cakes not looking as good as the ones in the shops.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The meteor flag of England. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16127]]></link><description><![CDATA[The meteor flag of England.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Harmony of aim, not identity of conclusion, is the secret of sympathetic life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58537]]></link><description><![CDATA[Harmony of aim, not identity of conclusion, is the secret of sympathetic life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two angels guide The path of man, both aged and yet young.  As angels are, ripening through endless years, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53093]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two angels guide The path of man, both aged and yet young.  As angels are, ripening through endless years,   On one he leans: some call her Memory,    And some Tradition; and her voice is sweet,     With deep mysterious accords: the other,      Floating above, holds down a lamp with streams       A light divine and searching on the earth,        Compelling eyes and footsteps.

Failure to ask this primary question and to investigate the historical setting of Scripture have prevented many Christians from coming to a correct understanding of some parts of the Bible. Nowhere is this more true than in respect to the last book in the Bible. Here, there has been a singular lack of appreciation for the historical background of the book; the book has been interpreted as if it were primarily written for the day in which the expositor lives (which is usually thought to be the end time), rather than in terms of what it meant to the first-century Christians of the Roman province of Asia for whom it was originally written. This has resulted in all sorts of grotesque and fantastic conclusions of which the author of the Revelation and its early recipients never would have dreamed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happy the man who has been able to learn the causes of things. [Lat., Felix qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5358]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happy the man who has been able to learn the causes of things. [Lat., Felix qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The child is father of the man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6012]]></link><description><![CDATA[The child is father of the man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You make trade offs: do you want to get everything that's relevant or do you want to miss some things? ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41803]]></link><description><![CDATA[You make trade offs: do you want to get everything that's relevant or do you want to miss some things?
