For a long time the Farmer, brandishing an empty sling, chased them away by the terror he inspired; but when the birds found that the sling was only swung in the air, they ceased to take any notice of it and would not move. The Farmer, on seeing this, charged his sling with stones, and killed a great number. The remaining birds at once forsook his fields, crying to each other, It is time for us to be off to Liliput: for this man is no longer content to scare us, but begins to show us in earnest what he can do. If words suffice not, blows must follow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I guess I got that one off my back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35464]]></link><description><![CDATA[I guess I got that one off my back.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A long, exact, and serious comedy; In every scene some moral let it teach,  And, if it can, at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/431]]></link><description><![CDATA[A long, exact, and serious comedy; In every scene some moral let it teach,  And, if it can, at once both please and preach.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're ready.

Wherever, in any world, a soul, by free-willed obedience, catches the fire of God's likeness, it is set into the growing walls, a living stone. When, in your hard fight, in your tiresome drudgery, or in your terrible temptation, you catch the purpose of your being and give yourself to God, and so give Him the chance to give Himself to you, your life -- a living stone -- is taken up and set into that growing wall. Wherever souls are being tried and ripened, in whatever commonplace and homely ways, there God is hewing out the pillars for His temple. Oh, if the stone can only have some vision of the temple of which it is to be a part forever, what patience must fill it as it feels the blows of the hammer, and knows that success for it is simply to let itself be wrought into what shape the Master wills.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the reason we used asphalt instead of concrete for the road surface.
