One at last put the other to flight. The vanquished Cock skulked away and hid himself in a quiet corner, while the conqueror, flying up to a high wall, flapped his wings and crowed exultingly with all his might. An Eagle sailing through the air pounced upon him and carried him off in his talons. The vanquished Cock immediately came out of his corner, and ruled henceforth with undisputed mastery. Pride goes before destruction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Were't not affection chains thy tender days To the sweet glances of thy honored love,  I rather would entreat ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20346]]></link><description><![CDATA[Were't not affection chains thy tender days To the sweet glances of thy honored love,  I rather would entreat thy company   To see the wonders of the world abroad    Than, living dully sluggardized at home,     Wear out thy youth with shapeless idleness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started... ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14754]]></link><description><![CDATA[We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started... and know the place for the first time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laugh as much as you breathe, Love as much as you live ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65403]]></link><description><![CDATA[Laugh as much as you breathe, Love as much as you live]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ye rigid Ploughman! bear in mind Your labor is for future hours.  Advance! spare not! nor look behind!  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1954]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ye rigid Ploughman! bear in mind Your labor is for future hours.  Advance! spare not! nor look behind!   Plough deep and straight with all your powers!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is not blind - it sees more, not less.

When I was a child, bishops expressed doubts about the Resurrection, and were called courageous. When I was a girl, G. K. Chesterton professed belief in the Resurrection, and was called whimsical. When I was at college, thoughtful people expressed belief in the Resurrection "in a spiritual sense", and were called advanced; (any other kind of belief was called obsolete, and its professors were held to be simpleminded). When I was middle-aged, a number of lay persons, including some poets and writers of popular fiction, put forward rational arguments for the Resurrection, and were called courageous. Today, any lay apologist for Christianity... whose works are sold and read, is liable to be abused in no uncertain terms as a mountebank, a reactionary, a tool of the Inquisition, a spiritual snob, an intellectual bully, an escapist, an obstructionist, a psychopathic introvert, an insensitive extrovert, and an enemy of society. The charges are not always mutually compatible, but the common animus behind them is unmistakable, and its name is fear. Writers who attack these domineering Christians are called courageous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prices are going to be very volatile.
