He returned to his den, and lying down there, pretended to be sick, taking care that his sickness should be publicly known. The beasts expressed their sorrow, and came one by one to his den, where the Lion devoured them. After many of the beasts had thus disappeared, the Fox discovered the trick and presenting himself to the Lion, stood on the outside of the cave, at a respectful distance, and asked him how he was. I am very middling, replied the Lion, but why do you stand without? Pray enter within to talk with me. No, thank you, said the Fox. I notice that there are many prints of feet entering your cave, but I see no trace of any returning. He is wise who is warned by the misfortunes of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All of which misery I saw, part of which I was. [Lat., Quaeque ipse misserrima vidi, et quorum pars magna ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42773]]></link><description><![CDATA[All of which misery I saw, part of which I was. [Lat., Quaeque ipse misserrima vidi, et quorum pars magna fui.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom is not finally tested in the schools, Wisdom cannot be pass'd from one having it to another not having ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23522]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom is not finally tested in the schools, Wisdom cannot be pass'd from one having it to another not having it, Wisdom is of the soul, is not susceptible of proof, is its own proof.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The weakest link in a chain is the strongest because it can break it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57967]]></link><description><![CDATA[The weakest link in a chain is the strongest because it can break it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44329]]></link><description><![CDATA[To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Oh! what a vile and abject thing is man unless he can erect himself above humanity."

He made full use of it as an impressive statement of high ethical ideals; even its ritual practices He treated with perfect tolerance where they did not conflict with fundamental moral obligations. From Pharisaic formalism He appealed to the relative simplicity of the venerable written Law. But again from the written Law itself He appealed to the basic rights and duties of humanity: the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath; the Law might permit the dissolution of marriage, but there was something more deeply rooted in the nature of things which forbade it; the [law of retaliation], the central principle of legal justice, must go overboard in the interest of the holy impulse to love your neighbor, not merely as yourself, but as God has loved you. Such freehanded dealing meant that the whole notion of morality as a code of rules, with sanctions of rewards and punishments, was abandoned. But the average Christian was slow to see this implication. For instance, Jesus had taken fasting out of the class of meritorious acts, and given it a place only as the fitting and spontaneous expression of certain spiritual states. This is what an early authoritative catechism of the Church made of His teaching: "Let not your fast be made with the hypocrites, for they fast on Monday and Thursday; ye therefore shall fast on Wednesday and Friday." It sounds ludicrous, but we may ask, Was it not on some very similar principle that the Church did actually carry through its reconstruction of "religious observance"? And a Church which so perverted Christ's treatment of the ritual law proved itself almost equally incapable of understanding His drastic revision of the moral law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Meek and lowly, pure and holy, Chief among the "blessed three." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5701]]></link><description><![CDATA[Meek and lowly, pure and holy, Chief among the "blessed three."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[New ideas stir from every corner.
