At shearing time, wishing to take his fleece and to avoid expense, she sheared him herself, but used the shears so unskillfully that with the fleece she sheared the flesh. The Sheep, writhing with pain, said, Why do you hurt me so, Mistress? What weight can my blood add to the wool? If you want my flesh, there is the butcher, who will kill me in an instant; but if you want my fleece and wool, there is the shearer, who will shear and not hurt me. The least outlay is not always the greatest gain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After I left that, I wanted to continue programming films, so I started the Jewish film festival. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39226]]></link><description><![CDATA[After I left that, I wanted to continue programming films, so I started the Jewish film festival.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are deeply saddened to hear of the many victims caught in the devastating path of the hurricane.

Perceiving their simplicity, he cast down a huge log into the lake. The Frogs were terrified at the splash occasioned by its fall and hid themselves in the depths of the pool. But as soon as they realized that the huge log was motionless, they swam again to the top of the water, dismissed their fears, climbed up, and began squatting on it in contempt. After some time they began to think themselves ill-treated in the appointment of so inert a Ruler, and sent a second deputation to Jupiter to pray that he would set over them another sovereign. He then gave them an Eel to govern them. When the Frogs discovered his easy good nature, they sent yet a third time to Jupiter to beg him to choose for them still another King. Jupiter, displeased with all their complaints, sent a Heron, who preyed upon the Frogs day by day till there were none left to croak upon the lake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no hospitality like understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19851]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no hospitality like understanding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I charged a round in the chamber, he got down real fast, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35085]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I charged a round in the chamber, he got down real fast,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I get on that field, I am faster than any defensive back there.
