Thereafter, feeling his life a burden from the shame and ridicule to which he was exposed, he schemed to convince all the other Foxes that being tailless was much more attractive, thus making up for his own deprivation. He assembled a good many Foxes and publicly advised them to cut off their tails, saying that they would not only look much better without them, but that they would get rid of the weight of the brush, which was a very great inconvenience. One of them interrupting him said, If you had not yourself lost your tail, my friend, you would not thus counsel us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He played awesome.

We may discover at the crucial moment that we are spiritually bankrupt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who talks much cannot talk well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25544]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who talks much cannot talk well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Props to Camille.

Do not take up the vain excuse of your rawness of inexperience which you may imagine or assume. For sterile modesty is never pleasing, nor that humility laudable which passes the bounds of reason. Attend to your work; drive out bashfulness by a sense of duty, and act as a master... But I am not sufficient for these things, you say. As if your offering were not accepted from what you have, and not from what you have not. Be prepared to answer for the single talent committed to your charge, and take no thought for the test... For he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Give all, as assuredly you shall pay to the uttermost farthing; but of a truth out of what you have, not what you have not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Live With Regis and Kelly.
