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[No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10932]]></link><description><![CDATA[No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other's worth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Hugh, Carthusian Monk, Bishop of Lincoln, 1200  It is of great importance that you endeavour, at all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6672]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Hugh, Carthusian Monk, Bishop of Lincoln, 1200  It is of great importance that you endeavour, at all times, to keep your hearts in peace; that you may keep pure that temple of God. The way to keep it in peace is to enter into it by means of inward silence. When you see yourself more sharply assaulted, retreat into that region of peace; and you will find a fortress that will enable you to triumph over all your enemies, visible and invisible, and over all their snares and temptations. Within your own soul resides divine aid, and sovereign succour. Retreat within it, and all will be quiet, secure, peaceable, and calm. Thus, by means of mental silence, which can only be attained with divine help, you may look for tranquility in tumult: for solitude in company; for light in darkness; for forgetfulness in pressures: for vigour in despondency; for courage in fear; for resistance in temptation; and for quiet in tribulation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money is a good servant but a bad master. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21567]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money is a good servant but a bad master.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She who from April dates her years, Diamonds should wear, lest bitter tears  For vain repentance flow; this stone, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2975]]></link><description><![CDATA[She who from April dates her years, Diamonds should wear, lest bitter tears  For vain repentance flow; this stone,   Emblem of innocence is known.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old books that have ceased to be of service should no more be abandoned than should old friends who have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4592]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old books that have ceased to be of service should no more be abandoned than should old friends who have ceased to give pleasure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An amazing invention - but who would ever want to use one? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23019]]></link><description><![CDATA[An amazing invention - but who would ever want to use one?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23019</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah, to build, to build! That is the noblest of all the arts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3029]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah, to build, to build! That is the noblest of all the arts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is the greatest refreshment in life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65499]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is the greatest refreshment in life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64240]]></link><description><![CDATA[The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A home-made friend wears longer than one you buy in the market. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16937]]></link><description><![CDATA[A home-made friend wears longer than one you buy in the market.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5480]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remorse is the echo of a lost virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53799]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remorse is the echo of a lost virtue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53799</guid></item></channel></rss>
