Wolf! and when his neighbors came to help him, laughed at them for their pains. The Wolf, however, did truly come at last. The Shepherd-boy, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror: Pray, do come and help me; the Wolf is killing the sheep; but no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any assistance. The Wolf, having no cause of fear, at his leisure lacerated or destroyed the whole flock. There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[George Allen has often been compared over the course of his career, dating back to his term as governor, to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35089]]></link><description><![CDATA[George Allen has often been compared over the course of his career, dating back to his term as governor, to Ronald Reagan.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some of mankind's most terrible misdeeds have been committed under the spell of certain magic words or phrases. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48423]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some of mankind's most terrible misdeeds have been committed under the spell of certain magic words or phrases.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being wrong should not be associated with failure.

To justify Christianity because it provides a foundation of morality, instead of showing the necessity of Christian morality from the truth of Christianity, is a very dangerous inversion; and we may reflect that a good deal of the attention of totalitarian states has been devoted with a steadfastness of purpose not always found in democracies, to providing their national life with a foundation of morality -- the wrong kind, perhaps, but a good deal more of it. It is not enthusiasm, but dogma, that differentiates a Christian from a pagan society.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No matter how disastrously some policy has turned out, anyone who criticizes it can expect to hear: "But what would ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47253]]></link><description><![CDATA[No matter how disastrously some policy has turned out, anyone who criticizes it can expect to hear: "But what would you replace it with?"
