They rushed clamorously into the presence of the Lioness and demanded of her the settlement of the dispute. And you, they said, how many sons have you at a birth?' The Lioness laughed at them, and said: Why! I have only one; but that one is altogether a thoroughbred Lion. The value is in the worth, not in the number.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pride (of all others the most dang'rous fault) Proceeds from want of sense, or want of thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48193]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pride (of all others the most dang'rous fault) Proceeds from want of sense, or want of thought.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts. - "The Arnold Bennett Calendar". ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22001]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts. - "The Arnold Bennett Calendar".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is action and passion; therefore it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45644]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is action and passion; therefore it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of the time, at peril of being judged not to have lived.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is difficult to live in the present, ridiculous to live in the future, and impossible to live in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17128]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is difficult to live in the present, ridiculous to live in the future, and impossible to live in the past.

How did you react or respond to those temptations ? Is there anything you are trying to keep secret, and, if so, what? At this point, the modern Christian swallows hard! We are often coated with a thick layer of reserve and modesty which covers "a multitude of sins" -- usually our own. Significantly, James 5:16-20, the original context of that phrase, is the passage which urges, "Confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They make fun of the way I talk and I give it back to them, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39160]]></link><description><![CDATA[They make fun of the way I talk and I give it back to them,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are confident of advancing, but in this period of the season the physical condition is fading and surprise results ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30999]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are confident of advancing, but in this period of the season the physical condition is fading and surprise results can't be excluded.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30999</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time you enjoyed wasting is not wasted time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65706]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time you enjoyed wasting is not wasted time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've entered an era when very good, competent people aren't getting jobs.

But let me tell you that herein you put an extremely difficult task upon us, in expecting that we should pour wine and oil into the wound before it be searched, and speak smooth and comfortable things to a man that is but just brought to a sense of the long course of a lewd and wicked life impenitently continued in. Alas! what comfort can we give to men in such a case? We are loth to drive them to despair; and yet we must not destroy them by presumption; pity and good nature do strongly tempt us to make the best of their case and to give them all the little hopes which with any kind of reason we can --and God knows it is but very little that we can give to such persons upon good ground, for it all depends upon the degree and sincerity of their repentance, which God only knows, and we can but guess at.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wouldn't mind seeing opera die.
