For a long time the Farmer, brandishing an empty sling, chased them away by the terror he inspired; but when the birds found that the sling was only swung in the air, they ceased to take any notice of it and would not move. The Farmer, on seeing this, charged his sling with stones, and killed a great number. The remaining birds at once forsook his fields, crying to each other, It is time for us to be off to Liliput: for this man is no longer content to scare us, but begins to show us in earnest what he can do. If words suffice not, blows must follow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky,  And spangled heavens, a shining frame,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57810]]></link><description><![CDATA[The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky,  And spangled heavens, a shining frame,   Their great Original proclaim.    Forever singing, as they shine,     The hand that made us is divine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The economy is going great in our area. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39401]]></link><description><![CDATA[The economy is going great in our area.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Mellitus, First Bishop of London, 624  Forgiveness breaks the chain of causality because he who forgives you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7622]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Mellitus, First Bishop of London, 624  Forgiveness breaks the chain of causality because he who forgives you -- out of love -- takes upon himself the consequences of what you have done.

Knowledge of the physical universe is not to be thought of as irrelevant to Christian faith [simply] because it does not lead to saving knowledge of God. In so far as it is concerned with God's creation, physical science is a fitting study for God's children. Moreover, the advance of scientific knowledge does negatively correct and enlarge theological notions--at the least, the geologists and astrophysicists have helped us to rid ourselves of parochial notions of God, and filled in some of the meaning of such phrases as "almighty".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great strokes make not sweete musick. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49302]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great strokes make not sweete musick.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nor ear can hear nor tongue can tell The tortures of that inward hell! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19127]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nor ear can hear nor tongue can tell The tortures of that inward hell!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are Batavian graces in all he says. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10207]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are Batavian graces in all he says.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three years ago, the hand of terrorism claimed the lives of thousands of innocent people at the World Trade Center ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29767]]></link><description><![CDATA[Three years ago, the hand of terrorism claimed the lives of thousands of innocent people at the World Trade Center in New York.
