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[Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54647]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good morning starshine, the Earth says hello! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18313]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good morning starshine, the Earth says hello!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Twas a yellow rose, By that south window of the little house,  My cousin Romney gathered with his hand ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54425]]></link><description><![CDATA['Twas a yellow rose, By that south window of the little house,  My cousin Romney gathered with his hand   On all my birthdays, for me. save the last;    And then I shook the tree too rough, too rough,     For roses to stay after.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An eye for an eye would make the whole world blind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54073]]></link><description><![CDATA[An eye for an eye would make the whole world blind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Night time is really the best time to work.
