Both the strong and the weak grasp at this alibi. The latter hide their malevolence under the virtue of obedience: they acted dishonorably because they had to obey orders. The strong, too, claim absolution by proclaiming themselves the chosen instrument of a higher power- God, history, fate, nation or humanity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give a little love to a child, and you get a great deal back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66475]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give a little love to a child, and you get a great deal back.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Zeal will do more than knowledge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62611]]></link><description><![CDATA[Zeal will do more than knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16004]]></link><description><![CDATA[If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink. For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anything that happens is a jolt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37422]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anything that happens is a jolt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We bought a real beauty parlor, with dryers and functioning water, and the whole bit.

Sing, creatures, sing; the dust that lives by lure and lust Is kindled by the thrust of life undying; This hope our Master bare has made all fortunes fair, And man can on and dare, his death defying. After the winter snows a wind of healing blows, And thorns put forth a rose, and lilies cheer us; Life's everlasting spring has robbed death of his sting, Henceforth a cry can bring our Master near us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And that inverted Bowl they call the Sky, Whereunder crawling coop'd we live and die,  Lift not your hands ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56515]]></link><description><![CDATA[And that inverted Bowl they call the Sky, Whereunder crawling coop'd we live and die,  Lift not your hands to it for help--for it   As impotently moves as you or I.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In everything satiety closely follows the greatest pleasures. [Lat., Omnibus in rebus voluptatibus maximis fastidium finitimum est.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46696]]></link><description><![CDATA[In everything satiety closely follows the greatest pleasures. [Lat., Omnibus in rebus voluptatibus maximis fastidium finitimum est.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There written all Black as the damning drops that fall  From the denouncing Angel's pen,   Ere Mercy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23544]]></link><description><![CDATA[There written all Black as the damning drops that fall  From the denouncing Angel's pen,   Ere Mercy weeps them out again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is bad to awaken a sleeping dog. [It., Il fait mal eveiller le chien qu dort.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12645]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is bad to awaken a sleeping dog. [It., Il fait mal eveiller le chien qu dort.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We laid it on the line.

Sacrifice was then the only sufficient means of remaining in harmonious relation to God. No Hebrew dared neglect this obligation. It was adequate for the period in which God intended it should serve. This is not the same as saying, however, that Levitical sacrifice was on an equal with the sacrifice of Christ, nor that the blood of bulls and goats could, from God's side, take away sins; but it is recognizing the reality of the divine institution of Mosaic worship, and looking, as too often Old Testament interpreters fail to do, at sacrifice and priestly ritual from the viewpoint of the Hebrew in the Old Testament dispensation. Sacrifice, to the pious Hebrew, was not something insignificant, nor simply a perfunctory ritual, but it was an important element in his moral obedience to the revealed will of God. Sacrifice was by its very nature, which involved faith and repentance on the part of the worshiper and the putting to death of his substitute victim; intensely personal, ethical, moral, and spiritual, because it was intended to reflect the attitude of the heart and will toward God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flattery is like cologne water, to be smelt of, not swallowed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16187]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flattery is like cologne water, to be smelt of, not swallowed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no such things as incurables; there are only things for which man has not found a cure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12514]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are no such things as incurables; there are only things for which man has not found a cure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Amende to-day and slack not, Deythe cometh and warneth not,  Tyme passeth and speketh not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58301]]></link><description><![CDATA[Amende to-day and slack not, Deythe cometh and warneth not,  Tyme passeth and speketh not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was hoping they would respond, unsolicited, in some way, shape or form and that's disappointing.
