It is enormously stimulating. It is small wonder that people who have been demanding all their lives to be heard so often fall speechless when confronted with one who gravely agrees to lend an ear. Man clamors for the freedom to express himself and for knowing that he counts. But once offered these conditions, he becomes frigthened. -Robert C.

The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped. It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a ghost That eats hankerchiefs; It keeps you company On all your travels. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59588]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a ghost That eats hankerchiefs; It keeps you company On all your travels.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot be a leader, and ask other people to follow you, unless you know how to follow, too. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24455]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot be a leader, and ask other people to follow you, unless you know how to follow, too.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm the lamest lame duck there could be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47024]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm the lamest lame duck there could be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death can't be so bad if mom went through it.

It is a well that has no bottom.   St. John Chrysostom  September 14, 2002 Feast of the Holy Cross    Learned men and great scholars have devoted great effort and prolonged study to the Holy Scriptures... employing the gifts which God gives to every person who has the use of reason. This knowledge is good... but it does not bring with it any spiritual experience of God, for these graces are granted only to those who have a great love for Him. This fountain of love issues from our Lord alone, and no stranger may approach it. But knowledge of this kind is common to good and bad alike, since it can be acquired without love, ... and men of a worldly life are sometimes more knowledgeable than many true Christians although they do not possess this love. St. Paul describes this kind of knowledge: "If I had full knowledge of all things and knew all secrets, but had no love, I should be nothing." Some people who possess this knowledge become proud and misuse it in order to increase their personal reputation, worldly rank, honours and riches, when they should use it humbly to the praise of God and for the benefit of their fellow Christians in true charity. St. Paul says of this kind of knowledge: "Knowledge by itself stirs the heart with pride, but united to love it turns to edification." By itself this knowledge is like water, tasteless and cold. But if those who have it will offer it humbly to our Lord and ask for His grace, He will turn the water into wine with His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Right now the only thing that will beat us is ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37345]]></link><description><![CDATA[Right now the only thing that will beat us is ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37345</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why should (need) a man die who has sage in his garden? [Lat., Cur moriatur homo, cui salvia crescit in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why should (need) a man die who has sage in his garden? [Lat., Cur moriatur homo, cui salvia crescit in horto?]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My prime aim is to go to see the permanent member who has not been briefed properly.
