As he passed along,the crowd made lowly prostration before the Image. The Ass,thinking that they bowed their heads in token of respect forhimself, bristled up with pride, gave himself airs, and refusedto move another step. The driver, seeing him thus stop, laid hiswhip lustily about his shoulders and said, O you perversedull-head! it is not yet come to this, that men pay worship to anAss. They are not wise who give to themselves the credit due to others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's linkage I'm talking about, and harmonies and structures, And all the various things that lock our wrists to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45693]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's linkage I'm talking about, and harmonies and structures, And all the various things that lock our wrists to the past.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45693</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hobby is only fun if you do not have time to do it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19566]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hobby is only fun if you do not have time to do it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is like a butterfly.
