Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam, the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools. But cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished. Change of habit cannot alter Nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let them stew in their own grease (or juice).   - Karl Otto von Schonhausen Bismarck, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52553]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let them stew in their own grease (or juice).   - Karl Otto von Schonhausen Bismarck,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music is the art of thinking with sounds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43454]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music is the art of thinking with sounds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O jealousy! thou magnifier of trifles. [Ger., O der alles vergrossernden Eifersucht.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23165]]></link><description><![CDATA[O jealousy! thou magnifier of trifles. [Ger., O der alles vergrossernden Eifersucht.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're just pleased with these kids.

Forgiveness is God's idea, God's desire; and it is He who appoints both the Judge and the Counsel for the Defense. It was He who inaugurated the priestly work, that men might receive His cleansing and turn to the Lamb of God slain from the foundation of the world. God has provided for himself a Lamb. It is He who sends His Son to be our Elder Brother, and to incorporate us as adopted sons into the circle of His Fatherly love. So then it is the voice of His beloved Son which is most clearly heard by the Father in heaven. In that voice of intercession, all the voices of intercession are contained and heard. The Son is talking to the Father about us, and what He says is not Please but Yes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The clown waits for the river to run itself dry.
