The Hare, believing her assertion to be simply impossible, assented to the proposal; and they agreed that the Fox should choose the course and fix the goal. On the day appointed for the race the two started together. The Tortoise never for a moment stopped, but went on with a slow but steady pace straight to the end of the course. The Hare, lying down by the wayside, fell fast asleep. At last waking up, and moving as fast as he could, he saw the Tortoise had reached the goal, and was comfortably dozing after her fatigue. Slow but steady wins the race.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A successful individual typically sets his next goal somewhat but not too much above his last achievement.

They say that it makes us so free that it cannot be the truth. To them it is like believing in fairyland to believe in such freedom as we enjoy. It is like believing in men with wings to entertain the fancy of men with wills. It is like accepting a fable about a squirrel in conversation with a mountain to believe in a man who is free to ask or a God who is free to answer. This is a manly and a rational negation, for which I for one shall always show respect. But I decline to show any respect for those who first of all clip the bird and cage the squirrel, rivet the chains and refuse the freedom, close all the doors of the cosmic prison on us with a clang of eternal iron, tell us that our emancipation is a dream and our dungeon a necessity; and then calmly turn round and tell us they have a freer thought and a more liberal theology.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But it's looking like I'm just opening it up for (quarterback Tim Rattay), ... because I don't think he's going ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29471]]></link><description><![CDATA[But it's looking like I'm just opening it up for (quarterback Tim Rattay), ... because I don't think he's going to pass it to me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Did you ever think about life as a metaphor for television? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58824]]></link><description><![CDATA[Did you ever think about life as a metaphor for television?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Drugs are a waste of time.
