The Father, unwilling to grant, and yet afraid to refuse his request, hit upon this expedient to rid himself of his importunities. He expressed his willingness to accept the Lion as the suitor of his daughter on one condition: that he should allow him to extract his teeth, and cut off his claws, as his daughter was fearfully afraid of both. The Lion cheerfully assented to the proposal. But when the toothless, clawless Lion returned to repeat his request, the Woodman, no longer afraid, set upon him with his club, and drove him away into the forest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sit in reverie and watch the changing color of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of the mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54124]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sit in reverie and watch the changing color of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of the mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[See, the problem is that God gives men a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to run one ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8968]]></link><description><![CDATA[See, the problem is that God gives men a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to run one at a time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes You'll just have to claw your way through this disguise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15474]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes You'll just have to claw your way through this disguise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Philip & James, Apostles  Here is opened to us the true reason of the whole process of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6965]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Philip & James, Apostles  Here is opened to us the true reason of the whole process of our Saviour's incarnation, passion, death, resurrection, and ascension into Heaven. It was because fallen man was to go through all these stages as necessary parts of his return to God; and therefore, if man was to go out of his fallen state there must be a son of this fallen man, who, as a head and fountain of the whole race, could do all this -- could go back through all these gates and so make it possible for all the individuals of human nature, as being born of Him, to inherit His conquering nature and follow Him through all these passages to eternal life. And thus we see, in the strongest and clearest light, both why and how the holy Jesus is become our great Redeemer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thurber did not write the way a surgeon operates, he wrote the way a child skips rope, the way a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3244]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thurber did not write the way a surgeon operates, he wrote the way a child skips rope, the way a mouse waltzes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3244</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11374]]></link><description><![CDATA[When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions, they are required to swear that they will remain in that excited, abnormal, and exhausting condition continuously until death do them part.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Character is higher than intellect.

It is the purest exercise of the faculties God has given us -- an exercise that links these faculties with the Maker to work out the intentions He had in mind in their creation. Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God...  Prayer is commitment. We don't merely co-operate with God with certain things held back within. We, the total person, co-operate. This means that co-operation equals committment. Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you...  Prayer is communion. Prayer is a means, but often it is an end in itself. There are times when your own wants and the needs of others drop away and you want just to look on His face and tell Him how much you love Him...
