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[If you want your dreams to come true, don't over sleep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65590]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want your dreams to come true, don't over sleep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I am dead, I hope it may be said: "His sins were scarlet, but his books were read.". ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4667]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I am dead, I hope it may be said: "His sins were scarlet, but his books were read.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wife was pretty, trifling, childish, weak; She could not think, but would not cease to speak. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61875]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wife was pretty, trifling, childish, weak; She could not think, but would not cease to speak.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You'll never succeed in idealizing hard work.

Christians who really have life in Christ cannot exist within such a corpse and will at last have to come out of it. But in almost all cases, those who have come out of dead institutions want to have in their place another institution or other rituals and ceremonies, only repeating the same error. Instead of turning to Christ Himself as their center, they again seek to find fellowship and spiritual security on the very same basis that failed, not realizing that it is the institution that is killing, instead of producing, life in Christ.
