The Housedog replied, Do not blame me, my friend, but find fault with the master, who has not taught me to labor, but to depend for subsistence on the labor of others. Children are not to be blamed for the faults of their parents.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one ever died from sleeping in an unmade bed.
