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[Commemoration of Ini Kopuria, Founder of the Melanesian Brotherhood, 1945  Then are we servants of God, then are we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7171]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ini Kopuria, Founder of the Melanesian Brotherhood, 1945  Then are we servants of God, then are we the disciples of Christ, when we do what is commanded us and because it is commanded us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63759]]></link><description><![CDATA[You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bigotry is the sacred disease. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64905]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bigotry is the sacred disease.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The penalty for laughing in a courtroom is six months in jail; if it were not for this penalty, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10431]]></link><description><![CDATA[The penalty for laughing in a courtroom is six months in jail; if it were not for this penalty, the jury would never hear the evidence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The problem with being best man at a wedding is that you never get a chance to prove it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61499]]></link><description><![CDATA[The problem with being best man at a wedding is that you never get a chance to prove it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strength without judgment falls by its own weight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50327]]></link><description><![CDATA[Strength without judgment falls by its own weight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Write to the mind and heart, and let the ear Glean after what it can. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3509]]></link><description><![CDATA[Write to the mind and heart, and let the ear Glean after what it can.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Business is very good right now. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40783]]></link><description><![CDATA[Business is very good right now.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But, spite of all the criticising elves, Those who would make us feel, must feel themselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10734]]></link><description><![CDATA[But, spite of all the criticising elves, Those who would make us feel, must feel themselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted.
