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[My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11122]]></link><description><![CDATA[My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Identity is theft of the self ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3373]]></link><description><![CDATA[Identity is theft of the self]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little nonsense, now and then, is relished by the wisest men ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44600]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little nonsense, now and then, is relished by the wisest men]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imitation is the sincerest flattery ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20565]]></link><description><![CDATA[Imitation is the sincerest flattery]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Confess your sins to the Lord and you will be forgiven; confess them to man and you will be laughed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9641]]></link><description><![CDATA[Confess your sins to the Lord and you will be forgiven; confess them to man and you will be laughed at.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And sometimes it's the very otherness of a stranger, someone who doesn't belong to our ethnic or ideological or religious ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39492]]></link><description><![CDATA[And sometimes it's the very otherness of a stranger, someone who doesn't belong to our ethnic or ideological or religious group, an otherness that can repel us initially, but which can jerk us out of our habitual selfishness, and give us intonations of that sacred otherness, which is God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My experience in government is that when things are non-controversial and beautifully coordinated, there is not much going on ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17950]]></link><description><![CDATA[My experience in government is that when things are non-controversial and beautifully coordinated, there is not much going on]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The imagination and the senses cannot be gratified at the same time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55133]]></link><description><![CDATA[The imagination and the senses cannot be gratified at the same time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellers there is safety. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/771]]></link><description><![CDATA[For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellers there is safety.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The purpose of the meetings is to get community input regarding the management plan for the river. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38490]]></link><description><![CDATA[The purpose of the meetings is to get community input regarding the management plan for the river.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is probably an element of malice in the readiness to overestimate people: we are laying up for ourselves the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52343]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is probably an element of malice in the readiness to overestimate people: we are laying up for ourselves the pleasure of later cutting them down to size.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poets heap virtues, painters gems, at will, And show their zeal, and hide their want of skill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62631]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poets heap virtues, painters gems, at will, And show their zeal, and hide their want of skill.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People can only live fully by helping others to live.
