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[Thought takes man out of servitude, into freedom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59221]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thought takes man out of servitude, into freedom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Negation is the mind's first freedom, yet a negative habit is fruitful only so long as we exert ourselves to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26872]]></link><description><![CDATA[Negation is the mind's first freedom, yet a negative habit is fruitful only so long as we exert ourselves to overcome it, adapt it to our needs; once acquired it can imprison us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have more confidence in ourselves.

That question has searched religion for contraband goods, stripped it of old superstitions, forced it to change its categories of thought and methods of work, and in general has so cowed and scared religion that many modern-minded believers... instinctively throw up their hands at the mere whisper of it... When a prominent scientist comes out strongly for religion, all the churches thank Heaven and take courage, as though it were the highest possible compliment to God to have Eddington believe in Him. Science has become the arbiter of this generation's thought, until to call even a prophet and a seer 'scientific' is to cap the climax of praise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever you do, you need courage.
