As he was wandering about there he came upon aLion lying down moaning and groaning. At first he turned to flee,but finding that the Lion did not pursue him, he turned back andwent up to him. As he came near, the Lion put out his paw, whichwas all swollen and bleeding, and Androcles found that a hugethorn had got into it, and was causing all the pain. He pulledout the thorn and bound up the paw of the Lion, who was soon ableto rise and lick the hand of Androcles like a dog. Then the Liontook Androcles to his cave, and every day used to bring him meatfrom which to live. But shortly afterwards both Androcles and theLion were captured, and the slave was sentenced to be thrown tothe Lion, after the latter had been kept without food for severaldays. The Emperor and all his Court came to see the spectacle,and Androcles was led out into the middle of the arena. Soon theLion was let loose from his den, and rushed bounding and roaringtowards his victim. But as soon as he came near to Androcles herecognised his friend, and fawned upon him, and licked his handslike a friendly dog. The Emperor, surprised at this, summonedAndrocles to him, who told him the whole story. Whereupon theslave was pardoned and freed, and the Lion let loose to his nativeforest.Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If voting changed anything, they'd abolish it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61012]]></link><description><![CDATA[If voting changed anything, they'd abolish it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of William Law, Priest, Mystic, 1761 Commemoration of William of Ockham, Franciscan Friar, Philosopher, Teacher, 1347 Commemoration of Pierre ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7390]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of William Law, Priest, Mystic, 1761 Commemoration of William of Ockham, Franciscan Friar, Philosopher, Teacher, 1347 Commemoration of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Priest, Scientist, Visionary, 1955  What doth it profit thee to enter into deep discussions concerning the Holy Trinity, if thou lack humility, and be thus displeasing to the Trinity? For verily it is not deep words that make a man holy and upright; it is a good life which maketh a man dear to God. I had rather feel contrition than be skillful in the definition thereof. If thou knewest the whole Bible, and the sayings of all the philosophers, what should this profit thee without the love and grace of God?  ...Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ April 11, 1996 Commemoration of George Augustus Selwyn, first Bishop of New Zealand, 1878  When an unskillful servant gathers many herbs, flowers, and seeds in a garden, you gather them out that are useful, and cast the rest out of sight; so Christ deals with our performances. All the ingredients of self that are in them He takes away, and adds incense to what remains, and presents it to God. This is the cause that the saints at the last day, when they meet their own duties and performances, know them not, they are so changed from what they were when they went out of their hand. "Lord, when saw we Thee naked or hungry?" So God accepts a little, and Christ makes our little a great deal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60336]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Clever men are good, but they are not the best. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8873]]></link><description><![CDATA[Clever men are good, but they are not the best.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What care if the day Be turned to gray,  What care if the night come soon!   We ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21000]]></link><description><![CDATA[What care if the day Be turned to gray,  What care if the night come soon!   We may choose the pace    Who bow for grace,     At the Inn of the Silver Moon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marimekko meets Machu Picchu. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38993]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marimekko meets Machu Picchu.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think all good writing is a struggle.
