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[Sweet April-time--O cruel April-time! Year after year returning, with a brow  Of promise, and red lips with longing paled, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2989]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sweet April-time--O cruel April-time! Year after year returning, with a brow  Of promise, and red lips with longing paled,   And backward-hidden hands that clutch the joys    Of vanished springs, like flowers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66200]]></link><description><![CDATA[How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are three all-powerful evils: lust, anger and greed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26064]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are three all-powerful evils: lust, anger and greed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will have no other master but our caprice -- that is to say, our evil self will have no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6597]]></link><description><![CDATA[We will have no other master but our caprice -- that is to say, our evil self will have no God, and the foundation of our nature is seditious, impious, refractory, opposed to and contemptuous of all that tries to rule it, and therefore contrary to order, ungovernable and negative. It is this foundation which Christianity calls the natural man. But the savage which is within us, and constitutes the primitive stuff of us, must be disciplined and civilized in order to produce a man. And the man must be patiently cultivated to produce a wise man; and the wise man must be tested and tried if he is to become righteous, and the righteous man must have substituted the will of God for his individual will, if he is to become a saint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man's mind becomes pure, his surroundings will also become pure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52596]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man's mind becomes pure, his surroundings will also become pure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mind still longs for what it has missed, and loses itself in the contemplation of the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50835]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mind still longs for what it has missed, and loses itself in the contemplation of the past.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Living in the lap of luxury isn't bad, except that you never know when luxury is going to stand up ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26069]]></link><description><![CDATA[Living in the lap of luxury isn't bad, except that you never know when luxury is going to stand up]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was the individual who cleared on this process within Customs and Border Protection and reviewed all the material and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37487]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was the individual who cleared on this process within Customs and Border Protection and reviewed all the material and there was nothing derogatory or any hesitation on our part in moving forward with supporting this decision.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The memory of past troubles is pleasant. [Lat., Jucunda memoria est praeteritorum malorum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59723]]></link><description><![CDATA[The memory of past troubles is pleasant. [Lat., Jucunda memoria est praeteritorum malorum.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more women looke in their glasse, the lesse they looke to their house. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49896]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more women looke in their glasse, the lesse they looke to their house.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46539]]></link><description><![CDATA[Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you have completed 95 percent of your journey, you are only halfway there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23373]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you have completed 95 percent of your journey, you are only halfway there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are the sport of circumstances, when The circumstances seem the sport of men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8702]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men are the sport of circumstances, when The circumstances seem the sport of men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8702</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is an important difference between love and friendship.

In these days when power and size and speed are almost universally admired, it seems to me particularly important to study afresh the "weakness", the "smallness of entry", and the "slowness" of God as He begins His vast work of reconstructing His disordered world. We are all tempted to take short cuts, to work for quick results, and to evade painful sacrifice. It is therefore essential that we should look again at love incarnate in a human being, to see God Himself at work within the limitations of human personality, and to base our methods on what we see Him do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do it again on the next verse, and people think you meant it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31464]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do it again on the next verse, and people think you meant it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In physics, you don't have to go around making trouble for yourself - nature does it for you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9355]]></link><description><![CDATA[In physics, you don't have to go around making trouble for yourself - nature does it for you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think it's a deal killer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42672]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't think it's a deal killer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scientific progress consists in the development of new concepts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57084]]></link><description><![CDATA[Scientific progress consists in the development of new concepts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After all my erstwhile dear, my no longer cherished; Need we say it was not love, just because it perished? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25948]]></link><description><![CDATA[After all my erstwhile dear, my no longer cherished; Need we say it was not love, just because it perished?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14948]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hate women because they always know where things are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27075]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hate women because they always know where things are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we actually came out harder, but our shots just weren't dropping as they could have.

Is it to be a burden to the animal which wears it? It is just the opposite: it is to make its burden light. Attached to the oxen in any other way than by a yoke, the plow would be intolerable; worked by means of a yoke, it is light. A yoke is not an instrument of torture; it is an instrument of mercy. It is not a malicious contrivance for making work hard; it is a gentle device to make hard labor light. [Christ] knew the difference between a smooth yoke and a rough one, a bad fit and a good one... The rough yoke galled, and the burden was heavy; the smooth yoke caused no pain, and the load was lightly drawn. The badly fitted harness was a misery; the well fitted collar was "easy". And what was the "burden"? It was not some special burden laid upon the Christian, some unique infliction that they alone must bear. It was what all men bear: it was simply life, human life itself, the general burden of life which all must carry with them from the cradle to the grave. Christ saw that men took life painfully. To some it was a weariness, to others failure, to many a tragedy, to all a struggle and a pain. How to carry this burden of life had been the whole world's problem. And here is Christ's solution: "Carry it as I do. Take life as I take it. Look at it from my point of view. Interpret it upon my principles. Take my yoke and learn of me, and you will find it easy. For my yoke is easy, sits right upon the shoulders, and therefore my burden is light.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61022]]></link><description><![CDATA[All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61022</guid></item></channel></rss>
