An Ox gave him this kindly warning: O unhappy creature! why should you thus, of your own accord, incur destruction and trust yourself in the house of your enemy?' The Stag replied: Only allow me, friend, to stay where I am, and I will undertake to find some favorable opportunity of effecting my escape. At the approach of the evening the herdsman came to feed his cattle, but did not see the Stag; and even the farm-bailiff with several laborers passed through the shed and failed to notice him. The Stag, congratulating himself on his safety, began to express his sincere thanks to the Oxen who had kindly helped him in the hour of need. One of them again answered him: We indeed wish you well, but the danger is not over. There is one other yet to pass through the shed, who has as it were a hundred eyes, and until he has come and gone, your life is still in peril. At that moment the master himself entered, and having had to complain that his oxen had not been properly fed, he went up to their racks and cried out: Why is there such a scarcity of fodder? There is not half enough straw for them to lie on. Those lazy fellows have not even swept the cobwebs away. While he thus examined everything in turn, he spied the tips of the antlers of the Stag peeping out of the straw. Then summoning his laborers, he ordered that the Stag should be seized and killed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26758]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's moved around, he's in a lot of different positions.

Outside, he is to be informed and vocal; inside, he must appear ignorant and mute as a sheep. Christians have within them many questions -- questions that are at once elementary and profound, questions that would ripple the water were they raised. However, because a Christian is supposed to have "answers", life's important questions are not discussed outside the church building; and, because the pastor is the educated, spiritual authority, they are not discussed inside either.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had a neighbor helping take care of the kids, and we just kind of jostled it.

There is no other means to safeguard a propitious development of human affairs than to make the masses of inferior people adopt the ideas of the elite. This has to be achieved by convincing them. It cannot be accomplished by a despotic regime that instead of enlightening the masses beats them into submission. In the long run the ideas of the majority, however detrimental they may be, will carry on. The future of mankind depends on the ability of the elite to influence public opinion in the right direction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whosoever loveth me loveth my hound. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12664]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whosoever loveth me loveth my hound.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I said to the sky-poised Lark: "Hark--hark!  Thy note is more loud and free   Because there lies ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24099]]></link><description><![CDATA[I said to the sky-poised Lark: "Hark--hark!  Thy note is more loud and free   Because there lies safe for thee    A little nest on the ground."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweet April-time--O cruel April-time! Year after year returning, with a brow  Of promise, and red lips with longing paled, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2989]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sweet April-time--O cruel April-time! Year after year returning, with a brow  Of promise, and red lips with longing paled,   And backward-hidden hands that clutch the joys    Of vanished springs, like flowers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of the future beyond knowledge, the quality ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3593]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of the future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity to matter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3593</guid></item></channel></rss>
