Wherever you go, make some of those women your friends; which a very little matter will do. Ask their advice, tell them your doubts or difficulties as to your behavior; but take great care not to drop one word of their experience; for experience implies age, and the suspicion of age, no woman, let her be ever so old, ever forgives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's hard to imagine that many people come to our small city every year. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38139]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's hard to imagine that many people come to our small city every year.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do you seriously expect me to be the first Prince of Wales in history not to have a mistress? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/641]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do you seriously expect me to be the first Prince of Wales in history not to have a mistress?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's going to be a fundraiser for victims of land mines, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34806]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's going to be a fundraiser for victims of land mines,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm going to get in there.

An Ox gave him this kindly warning: O unhappy creature! why should you thus, of your own accord, incur destruction and trust yourself in the house of your enemy?' The Stag replied: Only allow me, friend, to stay where I am, and I will undertake to find some favorable opportunity of effecting my escape. At the approach of the evening the herdsman came to feed his cattle, but did not see the Stag; and even the farm-bailiff with several laborers passed through the shed and failed to notice him. The Stag, congratulating himself on his safety, began to express his sincere thanks to the Oxen who had kindly helped him in the hour of need. One of them again answered him: We indeed wish you well, but the danger is not over. There is one other yet to pass through the shed, who has as it were a hundred eyes, and until he has come and gone, your life is still in peril. At that moment the master himself entered, and having had to complain that his oxen had not been properly fed, he went up to their racks and cried out: Why is there such a scarcity of fodder? There is not half enough straw for them to lie on. Those lazy fellows have not even swept the cobwebs away. While he thus examined everything in turn, he spied the tips of the antlers of the Stag peeping out of the straw. Then summoning his laborers, he ordered that the Stag should be seized and killed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think there's enough evidence to support the argument that there is a recovery in information technology. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28343]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't think there's enough evidence to support the argument that there is a recovery in information technology.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are told never to cross a bridge until we come to it, but this world is owned by men ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21526]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are told never to cross a bridge until we come to it, but this world is owned by men who have 'crossed bridges' in their imagination far ahead of the crowd.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tho' we earn our bread, Tom, By the dirty pen,  What we can we will be,   Honest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62120]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tho' we earn our bread, Tom, By the dirty pen,  What we can we will be,   Honest Englishmen.    Do the work that's nearest     Though it's dull at whiles,      Helping, when we meet them,       Lame dogs over stiles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is something that is much more scarce, something rarer than ability.

He allowed himself (God allowed him) to be accounted sin by the Law. He refused to do what orthodox Jews of his day thought God had commanded them to do, (i.e.) seek to gain credit with God by keeping the Law. He lived by faith, not Law, and therefore repudiated the Law and the path of self-justification.... He stripped himself even of that claim to moral goodness which would have distinguished him from sinners. Short of becoming a sinner (and Paul shows that this idea is repudiated), how could God come closer to us sinners?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is short, live it.

The Christian Church has a secret at her heart and she wants to share it. Whenever one, by repentance and forgiveness, enters this community of grace, he discovers life's end, and he too will be constrained to let this life flow out in appropriate channels. Thrilling and costly projects will come into existence, but not as ends in themselves, and the group will not become a means to [such ends].
