At shearing time, wishing to take his fleece and to avoid expense, she sheared him herself, but used the shears so unskillfully that with the fleece she sheared the flesh. The Sheep, writhing with pain, said, Why do you hurt me so, Mistress? What weight can my blood add to the wool? If you want my flesh, there is the butcher, who will kill me in an instant; but if you want my fleece and wool, there is the shearer, who will shear and not hurt me. The least outlay is not always the greatest gain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To love for the sake of being loved is human, but to love for the sake of loving is angelic. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63357]]></link><description><![CDATA[To love for the sake of being loved is human, but to love for the sake of loving is angelic.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes that's easier to do.

It does not love him because he is such-and-such a person but because he is there. In all this it is quite the opposite of natural love: it "does not seek its own". It does not perform the characteristic natural impulse of love and life. Therefore it is basically independent of the conduct of the other person; it is not conditional but absolute. It wants nothing for itself but only for others. Therefore it is also not vulnerable. It never "reacts" but is always "spontaneous", emerging by its own strength -- rather, from the power of God. Love is the real God-likeness of man for which he has been created. In so far as love is in man he really resembles God and shows himself to be the child of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are one hundred and ninety nine ways to beat, but only one way to win; get there first. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61699]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are one hundred and ninety nine ways to beat, but only one way to win; get there first.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good clothes open all doors. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2872]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good clothes open all doors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All of what the government said is lies upon lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28516]]></link><description><![CDATA[All of what the government said is lies upon lies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We absolutely could not stop those two girls. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29298]]></link><description><![CDATA[We absolutely could not stop those two girls.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And it will fall out as in a complication of diseases, that by applying a remedy to one sore, you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27686]]></link><description><![CDATA[And it will fall out as in a complication of diseases, that by applying a remedy to one sore, you will provoke another; and that which removes the one ill symptom produces others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's a' your jargon o' your schools, Your Latin names for horns and stools;  If honest nature made you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58731]]></link><description><![CDATA[What's a' your jargon o' your schools, Your Latin names for horns and stools;  If honest nature made you fools.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As we grow as unique persons, we learn to respect the uniqueness of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60107]]></link><description><![CDATA[As we grow as unique persons, we learn to respect the uniqueness of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60107</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The idea is to make the chambers speak to the governments to implement these proposals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42605]]></link><description><![CDATA[The idea is to make the chambers speak to the governments to implement these proposals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would contend that our children are as important to the future of the country as the economy.
