They assembled on a certain day to carry out their purpose, and sharpened their horns for the contest. But one of them who was exceedingly old (for many a field had he plowed) thus spoke: These Butchers, it is true, slaughter us, but they do so with skillful hands, and with no unnecessary pain. If we get rid of them, we shall fall into the hands of unskillful operators, and thus suffer a double death: for you may be assured, that though all the Butchers should perish, yet will men never want beef. Do not be in a hurry to change one evil for another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From women's eyes this doctrine I derive: They sparkle still the right Promethean fire; They are the books, the arts, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55497]]></link><description><![CDATA[From women's eyes this doctrine I derive: They sparkle still the right Promethean fire; They are the books, the arts, the academes, That show, contain, and nourish all the world. -Love's Labour 's Lost.

If you have to do with one who is unquestionably a slanderer, do not excuse him by calling him frank and free-spoken; do not call one who is notoriously vain, liberal and elegant; do not call dangerous levities mere simplicity; do not screen disobedience under the name of zeal; or arrogance, of frankness; or evil intimacy, of friendship. No, my friends, we must never, in our wish to shun slander, foster or flatter vice in others: but we must call evil evil, and sin sin, and so doing we shall serve God's glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To get Peace you must work for Justice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45921]]></link><description><![CDATA[To get Peace you must work for Justice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not only is that a money issue, it's a space issue.
