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[An illness is like a journey into a far country; it sifts all one's experience and removes it to a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20463]]></link><description><![CDATA[An illness is like a journey into a far country; it sifts all one's experience and removes it to a point so remote that it appears like a vision.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12585]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men rarely (if ever) manage to dream up a god superior to themselves.

Its glorification of mere chance is a denial of the Divine order of nature. To risk money haphazard is to disregard the insistence of the Church in every age of living faith that possessions are a trust, and that men must account to God for their use. The persistent appeal to covetousness is fundamentally opposed to the unselfishness which was taught by Jesus Christ and by the New Testament as a whole. The attempt (which is inseparable from gambling) to make a profit out of the inevitable loss and possible suffering of others is the antithesis of that love of one's neighbour on which our Lord insisted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[England is the mother of parliaments. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17983]]></link><description><![CDATA[England is the mother of parliaments.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way positive reinforcement is carried out is more important than the amount. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63787]]></link><description><![CDATA[The way positive reinforcement is carried out is more important than the amount.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I just read this great science fiction story.
