It is interesting to note that in the first centuries of the Christian era many demoniacal phenomena appeared in countries in the course of being converted from idolatry to Christianity. The same is true of pagan civilisation today. In my research into the fourth century, I was surprised to find a great recrudescence of magical practices at the very moment when Roman civilization under Constantine was about to be snatched away bodily from paganism and enter... into the kingdom of the Son; at that time, all the rites of sorcery took on an incredible virulence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't let the learning from your own experiences take too long.

The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped. It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To array a man's will against his sickness is the supreme art of medicine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26733]]></link><description><![CDATA[To array a man's will against his sickness is the supreme art of medicine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ugliest of trades have their moments of pleasure.
