One of the Apes, who had raised himself to beking, commanded them to be seized and brought before him, that hemight know what was said of him among men. He ordered at thesame time that all the Apes be arranged in a long row on hisright hand and on his left, and that a throne be placed for him,as was the custom among men. After these preparations hesignified that the two men should be brought before him, andgreeted them with this salutation: What sort of a king do I seemto you to be, O strangers?' The Lying Traveler replied, You seemto me a most mighty king. And what is your estimate of thoseyou see around me?' These, he made answer, are worthycompanions of yourself, fit at least to be ambassadors andleaders of armies. The Ape and all his court, gratified with thelie, commanded that a handsome present be given to the flatterer. On this the truthful Traveler thought to himself, If so great areward be given for a lie, with what gift may not I be rewarded,if, according to my custom, I tell the truth?' The Ape quicklyturned to him. And pray how do I and these my friends around meseem to you?' Thou art, he said, a most excellent Ape, and allthese thy companions after thy example are excellent Apes too.The King of the Apes, enraged at hearing these truths, gave himover to the teeth and claws of his companions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He did something to me that traumatized my life, and I'm never going to forgive him for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29967]]></link><description><![CDATA[He did something to me that traumatized my life, and I'm never going to forgive him for it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A substitute shines brightly as a king Until a king be by, and then his state  Empties itself, as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54512]]></link><description><![CDATA[A substitute shines brightly as a king Until a king be by, and then his state  Empties itself, as dot an inland brook   Into the main of waters.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The road winds up the hill to meet the height; Beyond the locust hedge it curves from sight -- And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22561]]></link><description><![CDATA[The road winds up the hill to meet the height; Beyond the locust hedge it curves from sight -- And yet no man would foolishly contend.

At first sight, it may seem that they have only to proclaim and declare; but in fact, if their words are to enter men's hearts and bear fruit, they must be the right words, shaped cunningly to pass men's defenses and explode silently and effectually within their minds. This means, in practice, turning a face of flint toward the easy cliche, the well-worn religious cant and phraseology -- dear, no doubt, to the faithful, but utterly meaningless to those outside the fold. It means learning how people are thinking and how they are feeling; it means learning with patience, imagination and ingenuity the way to pierce apathy or blank lack of understanding. I sometimes wonder what hours of prayer and thought lie behind the apparently simple and spontaneous parables of the Gospel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The real being, with no status, is always going in and out through the doors of your face. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21533]]></link><description><![CDATA[The real being, with no status, is always going in and out through the doors of your face.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's love, it's love that makes the world go round. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25605]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's love, it's love that makes the world go round.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All women become like their mothers.

If Abraham's migration can no longer be explained as part of a larger Amorite migratory stream from east to west, it should be noted that what has fallen by the wayside is a scholarly hypothesis, not the Biblical text. Genesis itself presents the movement from Haran to Canaan as an individual, unique act undertaken in response to a divine call -- an event, not an incident -- that inaugurates a new and decisive stage in God's plan of history. The factuality or otherwise of this Biblical evaluation lies beyond the scope of scholarly research.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It would be a remarkable thing for all of us.
