Wolf! and when his neighbors came to help him, laughed at them for their pains. The Wolf, however, did truly come at last. 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[Horses make a landscape look beautiful ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19826]]></link><description><![CDATA[Horses make a landscape look beautiful]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who has imagination without learning has wings but no feet. [Fr., Celui qui a de l'imagination sans erudition a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20524]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who has imagination without learning has wings but no feet. [Fr., Celui qui a de l'imagination sans erudition a des ailes, et n'a pas de pieds.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Meux Benson, Founder of the Society of St John the Evangelist, 1915  It will perhaps be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7467]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Meux Benson, Founder of the Society of St John the Evangelist, 1915  It will perhaps be said that in our present state of schism this assertion of [spiritual] principle [of oneness] can give us no definite guidance for action, can provide us with no clear programme, and must remain unfruitful. Surely that is not wholly true. It certainly must help us if we recognize that it is the presence of the Holy Spirit which creates a unity which we can never create.If men believe in the existence of this unity, they may begin to desire it, and desiring it to seek for it, and seeking it to find it. If, when they find it, they refuse to deny it, in due time, by ways now unsearchable, they will surely return to external communion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For two decades the state has been taking liberties, and these liberties were once ours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24719]]></link><description><![CDATA[For two decades the state has been taking liberties, and these liberties were once ours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History is past politics; and politics present history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19423]]></link><description><![CDATA[History is past politics; and politics present history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politics and the pulpit are terms that have little agreement. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1932]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politics and the pulpit are terms that have little agreement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Wilberforce, Social Reformer, 1833   A just pride, a proper and becoming pride, are terms which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6977]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Wilberforce, Social Reformer, 1833   A just pride, a proper and becoming pride, are terms which we daily hear from Christian lips. To possess a high spirit, to behave with proper spirit when used ill -- by which is meant, a quick feeling of injuries, and a promptness in resenting them -- entitles to commendation; and a meek-spirited disposition, the highest Scripture eulogium, expresses ideas of disapprobation and contempt.

First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A curst Cow hath short hornes. [A curst cow has short horns.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49008]]></link><description><![CDATA[A curst Cow hath short hornes. [A curst cow has short horns.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49008</guid></item></channel></rss>
