This agreement being made, the Physician, time after time, applied his salve to her eyes, and on every visit took something away, stealing all her property little by little. And when he had got all she had, he healed her and demanded the promised payment. The Old Woman, when she recovered her sight and saw none of her goods in her house, would give him nothing. The Physician insisted on his claim, and. as she still refused, summoned her before the Judge. The Old Woman, standing up in the Court, argued: This man here speaks the truth in what he says; for I did promise to give him a sum of money if I should recover my sight: but if I continued blind, I was to give him nothing. Now he declares that I am healed. I on the contrary affirm that I am still blind; for when I lost the use of my eyes, I saw in my house various chattels and valuable goods: but now, though he swears I am cured of my blindness, I am not able to see a single thing in it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Buy at a faire, but sell at home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49167]]></link><description><![CDATA[Buy at a faire, but sell at home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Vincent de Paul, Founder of the Congregation of the Mission (Lazarists), 1660  To worship is to quicken ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7435]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Vincent de Paul, Founder of the Congregation of the Mission (Lazarists), 1660  To worship is to quicken the conscience by the holiness of God, to purge the imagination by the beauty of God, to open the heart to the love of God, and to devote the will to the purpose of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is most free from danger, who, even when safe, is on his guard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60643]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is most free from danger, who, even when safe, is on his guard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If it's very painful for you to criticize your friends - you're safe in doing it.

A quarter of an hour of this prayer, brings you out of your closet a new man; your heart feels the good of it; and every return of such a prayer, gives new life and growth to all your virtues, with more certainty, than the dew refreshes the herbs of the field: whereas, overlooking this true prayer of your own heart, and only at certain times taking a prayer that you find in a book, you have nothing to wonder at, if you are every day praying, and yet every day sinking further and further under all your infirmities.
