Patrician Olaf II was eventually killed during an experiment conducted in the palace grounds to prove the disputed accuracy of the proverb The Pen is mightier than the Sword.In his memory it was decided that the proverb would from now on include the phrase: only if the Sword is very small and the Pen very sharp.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They laboriously do nothing. [Lat., Operose nihil agunt.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44678]]></link><description><![CDATA[They laboriously do nothing. [Lat., Operose nihil agunt.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44678</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Light burthens, long borne, growe heavie. [Light burdens, long borne, grow heavy.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49600]]></link><description><![CDATA[Light burthens, long borne, growe heavie. [Light burdens, long borne, grow heavy.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have always said that a conference was held for one reason only, to give everybody chance to get sore ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61184]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have always said that a conference was held for one reason only, to give everybody chance to get sore at everybody else.
