The Shepherd-boy, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror: Pray, do come and help me; the Wolf is killing the sheep; but no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any assistance. The Wolf, having no cause of fear, at his leisure lacerated or destroyed the whole flock. There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is vain to find fault with those arts of deceiving, wherein men find pleasure to be deceived. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11536]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is vain to find fault with those arts of deceiving, wherein men find pleasure to be deceived.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You want fame? ...

That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds.
