For a long time the Farmer, brandishing an empty sling, chased them away by the terror he inspired; but when the birds found that the sling was only swung in the air, they ceased to take any notice of it and would not move. The Farmer, on seeing this, charged his sling with stones, and killed a great number. The remaining birds at once forsook his fields, crying to each other, It is time for us to be off to Liliput: for this man is no longer content to scare us, but begins to show us in earnest what he can do. If words suffice not, blows must follow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And this be the vocation fit, For which the founder fashioned it;  High, high above earth's life, earth's labor ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4126]]></link><description><![CDATA[And this be the vocation fit, For which the founder fashioned it;  High, high above earth's life, earth's labor   E'en to the heaven's blue vault to soar.    To hover as the thunder's neighbor,     The very firmament explore.      To be a voice as from above       Like yonder stars so bright and clear,        That praise their Maker as they move,         And usher in the circling year.          Tun'd be its metal mouth alone           To things eternal and sublime.            And as the swift wing'd hours speed on             May it record the flight of time!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not save your loving speeches for your friends till they are dead.

But then I thought, if a patient said, "How's my back tooth?" and you just looked at it with your X-ray vision and said, "Oh it's okay," then the patient would probably say, "Aren't you going to take an X-ray, stupid?" and you'd say, "Aw fuck you, get outta here," and then he probably wouldn't even pay his bill.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Individuality is either the mark of genius or the reverse.

The "joy" that was set before Jesus was, we feel, knowing of the riches which would come to his brethren out of his death. In short, we are his joy, set before him when on the cross. As we have seen, only as the circle of the love of Jesus becomes world wide and as big as history will it be complete.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mature person is one who is does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26567]]></link><description><![CDATA[A mature person is one who is does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In prosperity you may count on many friends; if the sky becomes overcast you will be alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50734]]></link><description><![CDATA[In prosperity you may count on many friends; if the sky becomes overcast you will be alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two freedoms - the false, where a man is free to do what he likes; the true, where ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62750]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are two freedoms - the false, where a man is free to do what he likes; the true, where he is free to do what he ought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Barrie tells us how, in the little house at Thrums, they used to tiptoe to and fro when his mother ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7573]]></link><description><![CDATA[Barrie tells us how, in the little house at Thrums, they used to tiptoe to and fro when his mother was upon her knees, awed by the knowledge that she was praying for them. And here and there in the New Testament, we blunder in on Christ and find Him on His knees; and, once at least, ere we can escape, cannot but overhear Him pleading our names. "Neither pray I for these alone," that is, for Peter and John and the rest, "but for those who will believe through them"-- that is, for you and me. Hush! the Lord Christ is praying for you! And what is it He asks for us? That we be given such a spirit of unity and brotherliness and Christlikeness that people, coming upon us, will look at us, and look again, and then from us to Jesus Christ, seeking the explanation of us there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Policies are many, Principles are few, Policies will change, Principlesnever do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21976]]></link><description><![CDATA[Policies are many, Principles are few, Policies will change, Principlesnever do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting.

Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough... It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again," to the sun; and every evening, "Do it again," to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike: it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you're going to San Francisco, Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8754]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you're going to San Francisco, Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who could tell such a story with dry eyes? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51843]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who could tell such a story with dry eyes?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brothers don't necessarily have to say anything to each other-they can sit in a room and be together and just ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4949]]></link><description><![CDATA[Brothers don't necessarily have to say anything to each other-they can sit in a room and be together and just be completely comfortable with each other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3961]]></link><description><![CDATA[Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What most impresses us about great jurists is not their tenacious grasps of fine points, honed almost to invisibility; it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19511]]></link><description><![CDATA[What most impresses us about great jurists is not their tenacious grasps of fine points, honed almost to invisibility; it is the moment when we are suddently aware of the sweep and direction of the law, and its place in the lives of men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The surest sign of age is loneliness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27247]]></link><description><![CDATA[The surest sign of age is loneliness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27247</guid></item></channel></rss>
