The meditations are not clear to us until the mouth utters its words. If what the mouth utters is unclear or foolish or mendacious, it must be that the meditations are the same. But the line runs both ways. The words of the mouth will become the meditations of the heart, and the habit of loose talk loosens the fastenings of our understanding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good motto is: Use friendliness but do not use your friends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16790]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good motto is: Use friendliness but do not use your friends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm delighted we have a general manager who is in demand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41846]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm delighted we have a general manager who is in demand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41846</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pale child, Eve, leading her mother, Night. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14263]]></link><description><![CDATA[The pale child, Eve, leading her mother, Night.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17464]]></link><description><![CDATA[A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man is known by the company that keeps him on after retirement age. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54066]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man is known by the company that keeps him on after retirement age.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conversation is an exercise of the mind; gossip is merely an exercise of the tongue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10080]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conversation is an exercise of the mind; gossip is merely an exercise of the tongue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Etheldreda, Abbess of Ely, c.678 Continuing a short series on authenticity: For the preacher's merit or demerit, It ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8277]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Etheldreda, Abbess of Ely, c.678 Continuing a short series on authenticity: For the preacher's merit or demerit, It were to be wished the flaws were fewer In the earthen vessel, holding treasure, Which lies as safe in a golden ewer; But the main thing is, does it hold good measure?

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[It was difficult to exclude him but we don't want to see another breakdown of our main bowler.
