After a time he went to the daughter who had married the gardener, and inquired how she was and how all things went with her. She said, All things are prospering with me, and I have only one wish, that there may be a heavy fall of rain, in order that the plants may be well watered. Not long after, he went to the daughter who had married the tilemaker, and likewise inquired of her how she fared; she replied, I want for nothing, and have only one wish, that the dry weather may continue, and the sun shine hot and bright, so that the bricks might be dried. He said to her, If your sister wishes for rain, and you for dry weather, with which of the two am I to join my wishes?'.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conscience, the executioner, shaking her secret scourge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50436]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conscience, the executioner, shaking her secret scourge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can't get them to salute when they should salute and wear the clothes you tell them to wear, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45757]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can't get them to salute when they should salute and wear the clothes you tell them to wear, how are you going to get them to die for their country?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today is yesterday's pupil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/908]]></link><description><![CDATA[Today is yesterday's pupil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Lion in LoveA lion demanded the daughter of a woodcutter in marriage.

The Father, unwilling to grant, and yet afraid to refuse his request, hit upon this expedient to rid himself of his importunities. He expressed his willingness to accept the Lion as the suitor of his daughter on one condition: that he should allow him to extract his teeth, and cut off his claws, as his daughter was fearfully afraid of both. The Lion cheerfully assented to the proposal. But when the toothless, clawless Lion returned to repeat his request, the Woodman, no longer afraid, set upon him with his club, and drove him away into the forest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people confuse acceptance with apathy, but there's all the difference in the world.

And men see his good works, and admire them in spite of themselves, and see that they are God-like, and that God's grace is no dream, but that the Holy Spirit is still among men, and that all nobleness and manliness is His gift, His stamp, His picture: and so they get a glimpse of God again in His saints and heroes, and glorify their Father who is in heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coach Pressler offered me his resignation earlier this afternoon and I accepted it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38132]]></link><description><![CDATA[Coach Pressler offered me his resignation earlier this afternoon and I accepted it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet, still, from either beach, The voice of blood shall reach,  More audible than speech,   "We are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2392]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet, still, from either beach, The voice of blood shall reach,  More audible than speech,   "We are one!"]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is becoming impossible for those who mix with their fellow men to believe that the grace of God is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7472]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is becoming impossible for those who mix with their fellow men to believe that the grace of God is distributed denominationally.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing brings me more happiness than trying to help the most vulnerable people in society.

This is the more abundant life which, in its own particular language and own particular way, it calls us to live. Because it is our part in the one life in the whole universe of spirits, our share in the great drive towards Reality, the tendency of all life to seek God Who made it for Himself and now incites and guides it, we are already adapted to it. Just as a fish is adapted to life in the sea. This view of our situation fills us with a certain awed and humble gladness. It delivers us from all niggling fuss about ourselves, prevents us from feeling self-important about our own little spiritual adventures; and yet makes them worth while as part of one great spiritual adventure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cynics regarded everybody as equally corrupt...
