A Fox, seeing this, longed to possess the meat himself, and by a wily stratagem succeeded. How handsome is the Crow, he exclaimed, in the beauty of her shape and in the fairness of her complexion! Oh, if her voice were only equal to her beauty, she would deservedly be considered the Queen of Birds! This he said deceitfully; but the Crow, anxious to refute the reflection cast upon her voice, set up a loud caw and dropped the flesh. The Fox quickly picked it up, and thus addressed the Crow: My good Crow, your voice is right enough, but your wit is wanting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are all in a holding pattern waiting to see what happens. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37847]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are all in a holding pattern waiting to see what happens.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[France is delighted at this new opportunity to show the world that when one has the will one can succeed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19464]]></link><description><![CDATA[France is delighted at this new opportunity to show the world that when one has the will one can succeed in joining peoples who have been brought close by history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one than to have an opportunity and not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45042]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one than to have an opportunity and not be prepared.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And you, brave Cobham! to the latest breath Shall feel your ruling passion strong in death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45609]]></link><description><![CDATA[And you, brave Cobham! to the latest breath Shall feel your ruling passion strong in death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Henry Martyn, Translator of the Scriptures, Missionary in India & Persia, 1812 Continuing a short series about the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7353]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Henry Martyn, Translator of the Scriptures, Missionary in India & Persia, 1812 Continuing a short series about the early church:   The life of the early Church lay in constant intercommunication between all its parts; its health and growth were dependent on the free circulation of the life-blood of common thought and feeling. Hence it was firmly seated first on the great lines of communication across the empire, leading from its origin in Jerusalem to its imperial center in Rome. It had already struck root in Rome within little more than twenty years after the Crucifixion, and it had become really strong in the great city about thirty years after the Apostles began to look round and out from Jerusalem. This marvelous development was possible only because the seed of the new thought floated free on the main currents of communication, which were ever sweeping back and forward between the heart of the Empire and its outlying members. Paul, who mainly directed the great movement, threw himself boldly and confidently into the life of the time; he took the Empire as it was, accepted its political conformation and arrangement, and sought only to touch the spiritual and moral life of the people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I heard someone tried the monkeys-on-typewriters bit trying for the plays of W.

He had never seen the Book before. It taught him another lesson than that of fasts and vigils... Luther learned now that a man was saved not by singing masses, but by the infinite grace of God: a more credible hypothesis. He gradually got himself founded, as on the rock. No wonder he should venerate the Bible, which had brought this blessed help to him. He prized it as the Word of the Highest must be prized by such a man. He determined to hold by that, as through life and to death he firmly did.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we attribute foreknowledge to God, we mean that all things always were, and perpetually remain, under his eyes, so ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7558]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we attribute foreknowledge to God, we mean that all things always were, and perpetually remain, under his eyes, so that to his knowledge there is nothing future or past, but all things are present. And they are present in such a way that he not only conceives them through ideas, as we have before us those things which our minds remember, but he truly looks upon them and discerns them as things placed before him. And this foreknowledge is extended throughout the universe to every creature. We call predestination God's eternal decree, by which he determined with himself what he willed to become of each man. For all are not created in equal condition; rather, eternal life is foreordained for some, eternal damnation for others. Therefore, as any man has been created to one or the other of these ends, we speak of him as predestined to life or death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, that men's ears should be To counsel deaf, but not to flattery! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51370]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, that men's ears should be To counsel deaf, but not to flattery!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis a word that's quickly spoken, Which being unrestrained, a heart is broken. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62035]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis a word that's quickly spoken, Which being unrestrained, a heart is broken.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62035</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ash Wednesday Beginning a short series on forgiveness:   Turn your eyes full upon yourselves, and see if you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6768]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ash Wednesday Beginning a short series on forgiveness:   Turn your eyes full upon yourselves, and see if you cannot discover the same fault [that you would judge in another] in yourselves, either in times past or now-a-days. And, if you find it, remember how that it is God's appointing that you shall now behold this sin in another, in order that you may be brought to acknowledge and repent of it; and amend your ways and pray for your brother, that God may grant him repentance and amendment according to His Divine Will. Thus a good heart draws amendment from the sins of others, and is guarded from all harsh judgment and wrath, and preserves an even temper; while an evil heart puts the worst interpretation on all that it sees, and turns it to its own hurt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A tigress, robb'd of young, a lioness, Or other interesting beast of prey,  Are similes at hand for the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48719]]></link><description><![CDATA[A tigress, robb'd of young, a lioness, Or other interesting beast of prey,  Are similes at hand for the distress   Of ladies who cannot have their own way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not know how it comes about, but if you sit opposite a man every day and you are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15655]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not know how it comes about, but if you sit opposite a man every day and you are engaged in fighting him, you cannot help getting a liking for him whether he deserves it or not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes life's so much cooler when you just don't know any better and all the painful lessons have not hammered ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66576]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes life's so much cooler when you just don't know any better and all the painful lessons have not hammered your head open yet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are words and accents by which this grief can be assuaged, and the disease in a great measure removed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50360]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are words and accents by which this grief can be assuaged, and the disease in a great measure removed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't long for the unripe grape. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50209]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't long for the unripe grape.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If fooles should not foole it, they shall lose their season. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49509]]></link><description><![CDATA[If fooles should not foole it, they shall lose their season.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we get rain, things could really perk up and look good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40172]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we get rain, things could really perk up and look good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To confess a fault freely is the next thing to being innocent of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9658]]></link><description><![CDATA[To confess a fault freely is the next thing to being innocent of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dresses for breakfasts, and dinners, and balls. Dresses to sit in, and stand in, and walk in;  Dresses to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2722]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dresses for breakfasts, and dinners, and balls. Dresses to sit in, and stand in, and walk in;  Dresses to dance in, and flirt in, and talk in,   Dresses in which to do nothing at all;    Dresses for Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall;     All of them different in color and shape.      Silk, muslin, and lace, velvet, satin, and crape,       Brocade and broadcloth, and other material,        Quite as expensive and much more ethereal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thy letter sent to prove me, Inflicts no sense of wrong;  No longer wilt thou love me,--   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47815]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thy letter sent to prove me, Inflicts no sense of wrong;  No longer wilt thou love me,--   Thy letter, though is long.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I still don't know much about directing a movie. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37336]]></link><description><![CDATA[I still don't know much about directing a movie.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For mothers who must earn, there is indeed no leisure time problem.
