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[Commit a sin twice and it will not seem a crime. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56399]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commit a sin twice and it will not seem a crime.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Firelight will not let you read fine stories but it's warm and you won't see the dust on the floor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25073]]></link><description><![CDATA[Firelight will not let you read fine stories but it's warm and you won't see the dust on the floor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Extremes meet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50642]]></link><description><![CDATA[Extremes meet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50642</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's been tough for me, personally.

But the little mark on the soul may be much the same in both. Each has done something to himself which, unless he repents, will make it harder for him to keep out of the rage the next time he is tempted, and will make the rage worse when he does fall into it. Each of them, if he seriously turns to God, can have that twist in the central man straightened out again: each is, in the long run, doomed if he will not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What the statesman is most anxious to produce is a certain moral character in his fellow citizens, namely a disposition ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65303]]></link><description><![CDATA[What the statesman is most anxious to produce is a certain moral character in his fellow citizens, namely a disposition to virtue and the performance of virtuous actions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's only one way you can fail, and that's to quit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10374]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's only one way you can fail, and that's to quit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The doctrines of religion are resolved into carefulness; carefulness into vigorousness; vigorousness into guiltlessness; guiltlessness into abstemiousness; abstemiousness into cleanliness; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8859]]></link><description><![CDATA[The doctrines of religion are resolved into carefulness; carefulness into vigorousness; vigorousness into guiltlessness; guiltlessness into abstemiousness; abstemiousness into cleanliness; cleanliness into godliness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When it's going in like it was tonight the basket tends to look a lot bigger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32524]]></link><description><![CDATA[When it's going in like it was tonight the basket tends to look a lot bigger.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a short series of verse on Christ:  Hard it is, very hard, To travel up the slow and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7963]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series of verse on Christ:  Hard it is, very hard, To travel up the slow and stony road To Calvary, to redeem mankind; far better To make but one resplendent miracle, Lean through the cloud, lift the right hand of power And with a sudden lightning smite the world perfect.
