The Huntsman wished to have the fish, and their owner experienced an equal longing for the contents of the game-bag. They quickly agreed to exchange the produce of their day's sport. Each was so well pleased with his bargain that they made for some time the same exchange day after day. Finally a neighbor said to them, If you go on in this way, you will soon destroy by frequent use the pleasure of your exchange, and each will again wish to retain the fruits of his own sport. Abstain and enjoy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How much easier it is to be critical than to be correct. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64833]]></link><description><![CDATA[How much easier it is to be critical than to be correct.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the theatre one needs long arms; it is better to have them too long than too short.

He insists he had 'legal authority derived from the Constitution and congressional resolution authorizing force.' But the Constitution explicitly requires the president to obey the law. And the post 9/11 congressional resolution authorizing 'all necessary force' in fighting terrorism was made in clear reference to military intervention. It did not scrap the Constitution and allow the president to do whatever he pleased in any area in the name of fighting terrorism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A land of levity is a land of guilt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18483]]></link><description><![CDATA[A land of levity is a land of guilt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14964]]></link><description><![CDATA[An outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our guys decided at halftime we weren't going to let this game get away.

Take that one phrase (surely the most daring that the mind of man ever conceived), "We are the heirs of God." That is what they felt about it, that not God Himself could have a fuller life than theirs, and that even He would share all that He had with them! Tremendous words that stagger through their sheer audacity! And yet, here we are, whispering about the steepness of the way, the soreness of the self-denial, the heaviness of the cross, whining and puling, giving to those outside the utterly grotesque impression that religion is a gloomy kind of thing, a dim, monastic twilight where we sit and shiver miserably, out of the sunshine that God made for us, and meant us to enjoy -- that it is all a doing that nobody would naturally choose, and refraining from what everyone would naturally take: a species of insurance money grudgingly doled out lest some worse thing come upon us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is that he might have joy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43163]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is that he might have joy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ethics is not definable, is not implementable, because it is not conscious; it involves not only our thinking, but also ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14228]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ethics is not definable, is not implementable, because it is not conscious; it involves not only our thinking, but also our feeling.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But who prays for Satan?

Or recall the infinite pains that have been taken, down the centuries, to preserve minute orthodoxy in all points of mental belief while ugly evils flaunt along the streets and are accepted meekly as part of the makeup of things! Or recollect how easy it is to assume that we, ourselves, are Christian people. Why? Oh, well, just the usual reasons: we say our prayers, when we are not too sleepy; and we come to church, when there is nothing much to do; and so, of course, there is no doubt of it, although our tempers may remain uncurbed, and our characters are not the least like Jesus Christ's, nor growing any nearer it! Do we not need that solemn warning that Christ gives us when He tells us bluntly that many people lose their lives and souls, because they are always laying the emphasis and stress on the wrong points?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tomorrow hopes we have learned something from yesterday. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65282]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tomorrow hopes we have learned something from yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Illegal aliens have always been a problem in the United States.
