For a long time the Farmer, brandishing an empty sling, chased them away by the terror he inspired; but when the birds found that the sling was only swung in the air, they ceased to take any notice of it and would not move. The Farmer, on seeing this, charged his sling with stones, and killed a great number. The remaining birds at once forsook his fields, crying to each other, It is time for us to be off to Liliput: for this man is no longer content to scare us, but begins to show us in earnest what he can do. If words suffice not, blows must follow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Agnes, Child Martyr at Rome, 304   I shall think it mercy to my soul, if my ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6762]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Agnes, Child Martyr at Rome, 304   I shall think it mercy to my soul, if my faith shall out-watch all this winter-night, and not nod or slumber, till my Lord's summer-day dawn upon me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the most essential things you need to do for yourself is to choose a goal that is important ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22039]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the most essential things you need to do for yourself is to choose a goal that is important to you.

A hard necessity that is, not to want something which can not be avoided. If it could be managed, we would much rather not die; we would like to become like the angels by some other means than death. "We have a building from God," says St. Paul, "a home not made with hands, everlasting in heaven. For indeed we groan, longing to be clothed over with our dwelling from heaven; provided, though we be found clothed, and not naked. For indeed we who are in this dwelling place groan, being burdened; in that we do not wish to be stripped, but to covered over, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life." We want to reach the kingdom of God, but we don't want to travel by way of death. And yet there stands Necessity saying: "This way, please." Do you hesitate, man, to go this way, when this is the way that God came to you?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the evil wish is most evil to the wisher. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61781]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the evil wish is most evil to the wisher.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What gem hath dropp'd, and sparkles o'er his chain? The tear most sacred, shed for other's pain,  That starts ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58786]]></link><description><![CDATA[What gem hath dropp'd, and sparkles o'er his chain? The tear most sacred, shed for other's pain,  That starts at once--bright pure--from Pity's mine,   Already polish'd by the hand divine!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[head of international mafia. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36708]]></link><description><![CDATA[head of international mafia.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The place of justice is a hallowed place ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23611]]></link><description><![CDATA[The place of justice is a hallowed place]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My attitude is never to be satisfied, never enough, never. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66738]]></link><description><![CDATA[My attitude is never to be satisfied, never enough, never.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Welfare to Work program has worked. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37159]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Welfare to Work program has worked.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our deeds follow us, and what we have been makes us what we are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11662]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our deeds follow us, and what we have been makes us what we are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is divided into the horrible and the miserable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24859]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is divided into the horrible and the miserable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24859</guid></item></channel></rss>
