An Eagle, hovering near, heard her lamentation and demanded what reward she would give him if he would take her aloft and float her in the air. I will give you, she said, all the riches of the Red Sea. I will teach you to fly then, said the Eagle; and taking her up in his talons he carried her almost to the clouds suddenly he let her go, and she fell on a lofty mountain, dashing her shell to pieces. The Tortoise exclaimed in the moment of death: I have deserved my present fate; for what had I to do with wings and clouds, who can with difficulty move about on the earth?' If men had all they wished, they would be often ruined.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the last analysis, our only freedom is the freedom to discipline ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46278]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the last analysis, our only freedom is the freedom to discipline ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is difficult to say who do you the most harm: enemies with the worst intentions or friends with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22946]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is difficult to say who do you the most harm: enemies with the worst intentions or friends with the best.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know if I even have an aura, man.
