The Mother coming up, and missing one of her sons, inquired of his brothers what had become of him. He is dead, dear Mother; for just now a very huge beast with four great feet came to the pool and crushed him to death with his cloven heel. The Frog, puffing herself out, inquired, if the beast was as big as that in size. Cease, Mother, to puff yourself out, said her son, and do not be angry; for you would, I assure you, sooner burst than successfully imitate the hugeness of that monster.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hearty laugh gives one a dry cleaning, while a good cry is a wet wash. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24204]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hearty laugh gives one a dry cleaning, while a good cry is a wet wash.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can't give them extra outs.

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/6847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The seeds of great discoveries are constantly floating around, but they only take root in minds well prepared to receive ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52051]]></link><description><![CDATA[The seeds of great discoveries are constantly floating around, but they only take root in minds well prepared to receive them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A state has the right to prohibit the killingof dogs and bears whether for film or for other purposes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9188]]></link><description><![CDATA[A state has the right to prohibit the killingof dogs and bears whether for film or for other purposes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Favours out of place I regard as positive injuries. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48836]]></link><description><![CDATA[Favours out of place I regard as positive injuries.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Often, the less there is to justify a traditional custom, the harder it is to get rid of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23671]]></link><description><![CDATA[Often, the less there is to justify a traditional custom, the harder it is to get rid of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are as amazing as you let yourself be.Let me repeat that.Youareasamazingasyouletyourselfbe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34404]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are as amazing as you let yourself be.Let me repeat that.Youareasamazingasyouletyourselfbe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I guess when you turn off the main road, you have to be prepared to see some funny houses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54682]]></link><description><![CDATA[I guess when you turn off the main road, you have to be prepared to see some funny houses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1879]]></link><description><![CDATA[As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth.
