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[The body is a community made up of its innumerable cells orinhabitants. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21248]]></link><description><![CDATA[The body is a community made up of its innumerable cells orinhabitants.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9604]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus unlamented pass the proud away, The gaze of fools and pageant of a day;  So perish all, whose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48200]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thus unlamented pass the proud away, The gaze of fools and pageant of a day;  So perish all, whose breast ne'er learn'd to glow   For others' good, or melt at others' woe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Exaggerated self-importance is deemed an individual fault, but a racial virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20647]]></link><description><![CDATA[Exaggerated self-importance is deemed an individual fault, but a racial virtue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To make a happy fireside clime To weans and wife,  That's the true pathos and sublime   Of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19609]]></link><description><![CDATA[To make a happy fireside clime To weans and wife,  That's the true pathos and sublime   Of human life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is good taste, and good taste alone, that possesses the power to sterilize and is alwways the first handicap ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58647]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is good taste, and good taste alone, that possesses the power to sterilize and is alwways the first handicap to any creative functioning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you play safety in this defense, you have to know a lot about where people fit, what's going on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35375]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you play safety in this defense, you have to know a lot about where people fit, what's going on and the whole big picture.
