And one of the games to which it is most attached is called, ''Keep tomorrow dark,'' and which is also named (by the rustics in Shropshire, I have no doubt) ''Cheat the Prophet.'' The players listen very carefully and respectfully to all that the clever men have to say about what is to happen in the next generation. The players then wait until all the clever men are dead, and bury them nicely. Then they go and do something else. That is all. For a race of simple tastes, however, it is great fun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the next two days he will be visited by his family including his grandchildren and daughter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29830]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the next two days he will be visited by his family including his grandchildren and daughter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44338]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you judge, investigate; if you reign, command. [Lat., Si judicas, cognosce; si regnas, jube.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23513]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you judge, investigate; if you reign, command. [Lat., Si judicas, cognosce; si regnas, jube.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem.

We all know the changes and chances of this troublous life; but we can also know in this vale of tears the healthful spirit of His grace. Health for the whole man is God's gracious purpose for us here and now, often frustrated, often prevented by unbelief. The life of the saints in light must not emphasize for us simply the contrast between their state and ours, but rather the beginning of the gift of eternal life and all its benefits of inner strength and peace amid earthly vicissitudes. .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should learn to choose our words carefully, as we can hurt, and mislead others.
