Grant to our armed forces that disciplined valor and mutual confidence which insures success in war. Let me not mourn for the men who have died fighting, but rather let me be glad that such heroes have lived. If it be my lot to die, let me do so with courage and honor in a manner which will bring the greatest harm to the enemy, and please, oh Lord, protect and guide those I shall leave behind.

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[Hold, there is the very remuneration I had of thy master, thou halfpenny purse of wit, thou pigeon-egg of discretion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46601]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hold, there is the very remuneration I had of thy master, thou halfpenny purse of wit, thou pigeon-egg of discretion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Haste is slow. [Lat., Festinatio tarda est.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18781]]></link><description><![CDATA[Haste is slow. [Lat., Festinatio tarda est.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61207]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Character isn't inherited.
