He thus addressed him: "Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations." The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reason, Observation, and Experience -- the Holy Trinity of Science. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44787]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reason, Observation, and Experience -- the Holy Trinity of Science.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on forgiveness:   Tout comprendre, c'est tout pardonner. ("To know all is to forgive all.") ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on forgiveness:   Tout comprendre, c'est tout pardonner. ("To know all is to forgive all.") No commonplace is more untrue. Behavior, whether conditioned by an individual neurosis or by society, can be understood, that is to say, one knows exactly why such and such an individual behaves as he does. But a personal action or deed is always mysterious. When we really act, precisely because it is a matter of free choice, we can never say exactly why we do this rather than that. But it is only deeds that we are required to forgive. If someone does me an injury, the question of forgiveness only arises if I am convinced (a) that the injury he did me was a free act on his part and therefore no less mysterious to him than to me, and (b) that it was me personally whom he meant to injure. Christ does not forgive the soldiers who are nailing him to the Cross; he asks the Father to forgive them. He knows as well as they do why they are doing this -- they are a squad, detailed to execute a criminal. They do not know what they are doing, because it is not their business, as executioners, to know whom they are crucifying. If the person who does me an injury does not know what he is doing, then it is as ridiculous for me to talk about forgiving him as it would be for me to "forgive" a tile which falls on my head in a gale.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And those who paint 'em truest praise 'em most. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45411]]></link><description><![CDATA[And those who paint 'em truest praise 'em most.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When law can stop the blades of grass from growing as they grow; And when the leaves in Summer-time their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23038]]></link><description><![CDATA[When law can stop the blades of grass from growing as they grow; And when the leaves in Summer-time their colour dare not show;  Then will I change the colour too, I wear in my caubeen;   But till that day, plaze God, I'll stick to wearin' o' the Green.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Didn't make no money today, but I'll just go to the next one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42174]]></link><description><![CDATA[Didn't make no money today, but I'll just go to the next one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thy Will for Deed I do accept. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thy Will for Deed I do accept.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is accordance with our determination to refrain from aggression and build up a sentiment and practice among nations more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65725]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is accordance with our determination to refrain from aggression and build up a sentiment and practice among nations more favorable to peace ... that we have incurred the consent of fourteen important nations to the negotiation of a treaty condemning recourse to war, renouncing it as an instrument of national policy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Italy is only a geographical expression. [Fr., L'Italie est un nom geographique.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23098]]></link><description><![CDATA[Italy is only a geographical expression. [Fr., L'Italie est un nom geographique.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Before the curing of a strong disease, Even in the instant of repair and health,  The fit is strongest. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12500]]></link><description><![CDATA[Before the curing of a strong disease, Even in the instant of repair and health,  The fit is strongest.
