When the Crane had extracted the bone and demanded the promised payment, the Wolf, grinning and grinding his teeth, exclaimed: Why, you have surely already had a sufficient recompense, in having been permitted to draw out your head in safety from the mouth and jaws of a wolf. In serving the wicked, expect no reward, and be thankful if you escape injury for your pains.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the meantime, hopefully we can have a fruitful conversation with the government to get his release, perhaps under conditions ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42211]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the meantime, hopefully we can have a fruitful conversation with the government to get his release, perhaps under conditions they can impose.

Jesus is more than a religious genius, such as George Fox, and more than a holy man, such as the lovable Lana in Kipling's Kim. He himself knows that he is more. The Gospel story is a tree rooted in the familiar soil of time and sense; but its roots go down into the Abyss and its branches fill the Heavens; given to us in terms of a country in the Eastern Mediterranean no bigger than Wales, during the Roman Principate of Tiberius Caesar in the first century of our era, its range is universal; it is on the scale of eternity. God's presence and his very Self were made manifest in the words and works of this Man. In short, the Man Christ Jesus has the decisive place in man's ageless relationship with God. He is what God means by 'Man'. He is what man means by 'God'.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The defense budget is more than a piggy bank for people who want to get busy beating swords into pork ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4964]]></link><description><![CDATA[The defense budget is more than a piggy bank for people who want to get busy beating swords into pork barrels]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18555]]></link><description><![CDATA[Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though he was rough, he was kindly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23755]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though he was rough, he was kindly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To go where the King goes afoot (i.e. to the stool). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50006]]></link><description><![CDATA[To go where the King goes afoot (i.e. to the stool).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is with children that we have the best chance of studying the development of logical knowledge, mathematical knowledge, physical ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65086]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is with children that we have the best chance of studying the development of logical knowledge, mathematical knowledge, physical knowledge, and so forth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What prudent merchant will hazard his fortunes in any new branch of commerce when he knows not that his plans ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8996]]></link><description><![CDATA[What prudent merchant will hazard his fortunes in any new branch of commerce when he knows not that his plans may be rendered unlawful before they can be executed?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the middle of church, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33782]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the middle of church,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's the good of it? for whose advantage? [Lat., Cui bono?] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17850]]></link><description><![CDATA[What's the good of it? for whose advantage? [Lat., Cui bono?]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth has no special time of its own.

For instance, although there are some 200,000 "errors" among the New Testament manuscripts, these appear in only about 10,000 places, and only about one-sixtieth rise above the level of trivialities. Westcott and Hort, Ezra Abbot, Philip Schaff, and A. T. Robertson have carefully evaluated the evidence and have concluded that the New Testament text is over 99 percent pure. In the light of the fact that there are over 5,000 Greek manuscripts, some 9,000 versions and translations, the evidence for the integrity of the New Testament is beyond question.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best way to hold a man is in your arms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1618]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best way to hold a man is in your arms.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou must be emptied of that wherewith thou art full, that thou mayest be filled with that whereof thou art ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53374]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou must be emptied of that wherewith thou art full, that thou mayest be filled with that whereof thou art empty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It will be a challenge; he's very versatile.

Life has no otherdiscipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept lifeunquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run awayfrom, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in theend. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy,and strength, if faced with an open mind.
