If we get rid of them, we shall fall into the hands of unskillful operators, and thus suffer a double death: for you may be assured, that though all the Butchers should perish, yet will men never want beef. Do not be in a hurry to change one evil for another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love your enemies just in case your friends turn out to be a bunch ofbastards. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21709]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love your enemies just in case your friends turn out to be a bunch ofbastards.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Frogs Asking for a KingThe Frogs, grieved at having no established Ruler, sent ambassadors to Jupiter entreating for a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1555]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Frogs Asking for a KingThe Frogs, grieved at having no established Ruler, sent ambassadors to Jupiter entreating for a King. Perceiving their simplicity, he cast down a huge log into the lake. The Frogs were terrified at the splash occasioned by its fall and hid themselves in the depths of the pool. But as soon as they realized that the huge log was motionless, they swam again to the top of the water, dismissed their fears, climbed up, and began squatting on it in contempt. After some time they began to think themselves ill-treated in the appointment of so inert a Ruler, and sent a second deputation to Jupiter to pray that he would set over them another sovereign. He then gave them an Eel to govern them. When the Frogs discovered his easy good nature, they sent yet a third time to Jupiter to beg him to choose for them still another King. Jupiter, displeased with all their complaints, sent a Heron, who preyed upon the Frogs day by day till there were none left to croak upon the lake.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58007]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23716]]></link><description><![CDATA[I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While tears that from repentance flow, In bright exhalement reach the skies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50683]]></link><description><![CDATA[While tears that from repentance flow, In bright exhalement reach the skies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Sundar Singh of India, Sadhu, Evangelist, Teacher, 1929  Many people despise those who spend their health, strength ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6972]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Sundar Singh of India, Sadhu, Evangelist, Teacher, 1929  Many people despise those who spend their health, strength and money for the salvation of others, and call them mad.
