The Ass, as long as he traveled along the plain, carried his load with ease, but when he began to ascend the steep path of the mountain, felt his load to be more than he could bear. He entreated his companion to relieve him of a small portion, that he might carry home the rest; but the Mule paid no attention to the request. The Ass shortly afterwards fell down dead under his burden. Not knowing what else to do in so wild a region, the Muleteer placed upon the Mule the load carried by the Ass in addition to his own, and at the top of all placed the hide of the Ass, after he had skinned him. The Mule, groaning beneath his heavy burden, said to himself: I am treated according to my deserts. If I had only been willing to assist the Ass a little in his need, I should not now be bearing, together with his burden, himself as well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mother is a mother still, The holiest thing alive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43199]]></link><description><![CDATA[A mother is a mother still, The holiest thing alive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yon second-hand bookseller is second to none in the worth of the treasures which he dispenses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52524]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yon second-hand bookseller is second to none in the worth of the treasures which he dispenses.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are all geniuses up to the age of ten. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63757]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are all geniuses up to the age of ten.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Age shakes Athena's tower, but spares gray Marathon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1723]]></link><description><![CDATA[Age shakes Athena's tower, but spares gray Marathon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only way to be happy is to love to suffer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58215]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only way to be happy is to love to suffer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59947]]></link><description><![CDATA[This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To have in general but little feeling, seems to be the only security against feeling too much on any particular ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15551]]></link><description><![CDATA[To have in general but little feeling, seems to be the only security against feeling too much on any particular occasion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He said he believed that she, quote, 'Fought like hell.

And it would be nice to accept your view that this just shows we are made to live by charity. I'm afraid, however, I detect two much less attractive reasons for the ease of my own intercessory prayers. One is that I am often, I believe, praying for others when I should be doing things for them. It's so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see him. And the other is like unto it. Suppose I pray that you may be given grace to withstand your besetting sin (short list of candidates for this post will be forwarded on demand). Well, all the work has to be done by God and you. If I pray against my own besetting sin there will be work for me. One sometimes fights shy of admitting an act to be a sin for this very reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age creeps on us ere we think it nigh. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48949]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old age creeps on us ere we think it nigh.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The really frightening thing about middle age is the knowledge that you'll grow out of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1849]]></link><description><![CDATA[The really frightening thing about middle age is the knowledge that you'll grow out of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone puts his fault on the Times. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49229]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone puts his fault on the Times.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1170  It was the experience of the disciples who knew Jesus ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8368]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1170  It was the experience of the disciples who knew Jesus both before and after the Resurrection, and the conviction which they communicated to others, that laid the foundation of faith. This faith, once given, proved to be -- like the Person who gave rise to it -- essentially self-authenticating. And ever since, the Church has looked to the Cross, a symbol of weakness, as its unique source of power in preaching the Gospel, its authority both to teach and to preach has been of this kind. No amount of liaison between the Church and the source of any other authority, political or moral, must be allowed to obscure the simplicity -- and the mystery -- of the authority of Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As if you could kill time without injuring eternity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59334]]></link><description><![CDATA[As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We basically sell anything that you would see at a deli.
