A friend, meeting him and learning what he wanted, said, If you would be cured, take a piece of bread, and dip it in the blood from your wound, and go and give it to the Dog that bit you. The Man who had been bitten laughed at this advice and said, Why? If I should do so, it would be as if I should beg every Dog in the town to bite me. Benefits bestowed upon the evil-disposed increase their means of injuring you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The word is half his that speaks, and half his that hears it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22681]]></link><description><![CDATA[The word is half his that speaks, and half his that hears it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Aggression which is flagitious when committed by one, is not sanctioned when committed by a host. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1906]]></link><description><![CDATA[Aggression which is flagitious when committed by one, is not sanctioned when committed by a host.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stand not upon the order of your going, But go at once. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18784]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stand not upon the order of your going, But go at once.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Private credit is wealth; public honor is security; the feather that adorns the royal bird supports its flight; strip him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61403]]></link><description><![CDATA[Private credit is wealth; public honor is security; the feather that adorns the royal bird supports its flight; strip him of his plumage, and you fix him to the earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money is a good servant but a bad master. [Fr., L'argent est un bon serviteur, mais un mechant maitre." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42946]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money is a good servant but a bad master. [Fr., L'argent est un bon serviteur, mais un mechant maitre."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is so intolerable as a woman with a long purse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50474]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is so intolerable as a woman with a long purse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be taken seriously you need the ability to make fun of yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53379]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be taken seriously you need the ability to make fun of yourself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not mix de galloping of your horse, my knight, with the beating of your heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53183]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not mix de galloping of your horse, my knight, with the beating of your heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the tragedy of the world that no one knows what he doesn't know - and the less a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59541]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the tragedy of the world that no one knows what he doesn't know - and the less a man knows, the more sure he is that he knows everything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The privilege of absurdity, to which no living creature is subject but men only. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/210]]></link><description><![CDATA[The privilege of absurdity, to which no living creature is subject but men only.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/210</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Caroline Chisholm, Social Reformer, 1877  I can see no intellectual objection to the statement that God's power ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6553]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Caroline Chisholm, Social Reformer, 1877  I can see no intellectual objection to the statement that God's power is not limited by anything outside His own creative purpose: in that sense He is omnipotent, but it is even impossible for Him to exercise that power in certain ways without thereby ceasing to be our Father. In that sense God is not omnipotent: He is limited by His own nature, by His perfect goodness and mercy; for the omnipotence of God means nothing apart from His Fatherly love. In particular, this limitation of the power of God is to be found in the measure of freedom which, as His children, we enjoy. God shares His power with us so that, for a time at least, if we so determine, we can break His laws and frustrate His plans, but also so that we can give to Him, if we choose, the free allegiance of our hearts and minds, and become children at His Family Table, drawn together by the compulsion of His love, and not the exercise of His might.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just remember, when you should grab something, grab it; when you should let go, let go. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9667]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just remember, when you should grab something, grab it; when you should let go, let go.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why did Nature create man?
