At shearing time, wishing to take his fleece and to avoid expense, she sheared him herself, but used the shears so unskillfully that with the fleece she sheared the flesh. The Sheep, writhing with pain, said, Why do you hurt me so, Mistress? What weight can my blood add to the wool? If you want my flesh, there is the butcher, who will kill me in an instant; but if you want my fleece and wool, there is the shearer, who will shear and not hurt me. The least outlay is not always the greatest gain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Karma-yoga is a supreme secret indeed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62520]]></link><description><![CDATA[Karma-yoga is a supreme secret indeed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46225]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be determined to handle any challenge in a way that will make you grow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65555]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be determined to handle any challenge in a way that will make you grow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every one is weary, the poore in seeking, the rich in keeping, the good in learning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49220]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every one is weary, the poore in seeking, the rich in keeping, the good in learning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why do grandparents and grandchildren get along so well?

It is heard, often with deference and usually with courtesy, as a word referring to the linchpin of the era of Christendom (past) or as the totem of one of the tribal subcultures (irrelevant). The only way clergy can ever change the way in which the word they use is perceived is to refuse to play the role of antiquarian and medicine man in which the society casts them; but this is difficult, because it is what they are paid for.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale, Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man,  And bitter shame ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51345]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale, Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man,  And bitter shame hath spoiled the sweet world's taste,   That it yields nought but shame and bitterness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51345</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dance as though no one is watching you.
