The Monkey came with the rest and presented, with all a mother's tenderness, a flat-nosed, hairless, ill-featured young Monkey as a candidate for the promised reward. A general laugh saluted her on the presentation of her son. She resolutely said, I know not whether Jupiter will allot the prize to my son, but this I do know, that he is at least in the eyes of me his mother, the dearest, handsomest, and most beautiful of all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Home is the girl's prison and the woman's workhouse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19634]]></link><description><![CDATA[Home is the girl's prison and the woman's workhouse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19634</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once you get into it, it's really interesting and you can see how much you free up officers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39930]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once you get into it, it's really interesting and you can see how much you free up officers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men do not quit playing because they grow old; they grow old because they quit playing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13682]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men do not quit playing because they grow old; they grow old because they quit playing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This ban was enacted at the federal level, and Congress decided that it was an ineffective tool to combat violent ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29261]]></link><description><![CDATA[This ban was enacted at the federal level, and Congress decided that it was an ineffective tool to combat violent crime, and as a result they did not renew it in 2004.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[St. Paul] always contrived to bring his hearers to a point.

There was none of the indeterminate, inconclusive talking which we are apt to describe as "sowing the seed". Our idea of sowing the seed seems to be rather like scattering wheat out of a balloon... Occasionally, of course, grains of wheat scattered out of a balloon will fall upon ploughed and fertile land and will spring up and bear fruit; but it is a casual method of sowing. Paul did not scatter seeds, he planted. He so dealt with his hearers that he brought them speedily and directly to a point of decision, and then he demanded of them that they should make a choice and act on their choice. In this way he kept the moral issue clearly before them, and made them realize that his preaching was not merely a novel and interesting doctrine, but a life.
