As he was wandering about there he came upon aLion lying down moaning and groaning. At first he turned to flee,but finding that the Lion did not pursue him, he turned back andwent up to him. As he came near, the Lion put out his paw, whichwas all swollen and bleeding, and Androcles found that a hugethorn had got into it, and was causing all the pain. He pulledout the thorn and bound up the paw of the Lion, who was soon ableto rise and lick the hand of Androcles like a dog. Then the Liontook Androcles to his cave, and every day used to bring him meatfrom which to live. But shortly afterwards both Androcles and theLion were captured, and the slave was sentenced to be thrown tothe Lion, after the latter had been kept without food for severaldays. The Emperor and all his Court came to see the spectacle,and Androcles was led out into the middle of the arena. Soon theLion was let loose from his den, and rushed bounding and roaringtowards his victim. But as soon as he came near to Androcles herecognised his friend, and fawned upon him, and licked his handslike a friendly dog. The Emperor, surprised at this, summonedAndrocles to him, who told him the whole story. Whereupon theslave was pardoned and freed, and the Lion let loose to his nativeforest.Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith is not only a commitment to the promises of Christ; faith is also a commitment to the demands of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7771]]></link><description><![CDATA[Faith is not only a commitment to the promises of Christ; faith is also a commitment to the demands of Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is both surprising and delightful is that spectators are allowed, and even expected, to join in the vocal part ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57494]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is both surprising and delightful is that spectators are allowed, and even expected, to join in the vocal part of the game...

To Homer, the dawn was "rosy-fingered"; to Shakespeare, it was "in russet mantle clad"; to Housman, "the ship of sunrise burning". The scientist can explain exactly why the sky looks as it does in the early morning, the physiologist why we perceive as we do. Yet no one suggests that there is no dawn at all, or that its appearance has changed over the centuries, or that any one of these percipients was mad or deceitful. Why should our knowledge of the Creator be less capable of variety and development than our knowledge of any aspect of Creation?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Round numbers are always false. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26131]]></link><description><![CDATA[Round numbers are always false.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are several good protections against temptations, but the surest is cowardice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58914]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are several good protections against temptations, but the surest is cowardice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Under all speech that is good for anything three lies a silence that is better.
