The Ass, as long as he traveled along the plain, carried his load with ease, but when he began to ascend the steep path of the mountain, felt his load to be more than he could bear. He entreated his companion to relieve him of a small portion, that he might carry home the rest; but the Mule paid no attention to the request. The Ass shortly afterwards fell down dead under his burden. Not knowing what else to do in so wild a region, the Muleteer placed upon the Mule the load carried by the Ass in addition to his own, and at the top of all placed the hide of the Ass, after he had skinned him. The Mule, groaning beneath his heavy burden, said to himself: I am treated according to my deserts. If I had only been willing to assist the Ass a little in his need, I should not now be bearing, together with his burden, himself as well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25703]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All science is either physics or stamp collecting. -E.

Just as the degree to which, in daily life, I feel the emotion of fear has very little to do with my rational judgment of the danger. I'd sooner have really nasty seas when I'm in an open boat than look down in perfect (actual) safety from the edge of a cliff. Similarly, I have confessed ghastly uncharities with less reluctance than small unmentionables -- or those sins which happen to be ungentlemanly as well as unchristian. Our emotional reactions to our own behaviour are of limited ethical significance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The people and circumstances around me do not make me what I am, they reveal who I am ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8732]]></link><description><![CDATA[The people and circumstances around me do not make me what I am, they reveal who I am]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the true joy of life, the being used up for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23450]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the true joy of life, the being used up for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clot of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

The Monkey came with the rest and presented, with all a mother's tenderness, a flat-nosed, hairless, ill-featured young Monkey as a candidate for the promised reward. A general laugh saluted her on the presentation of her son. She resolutely said, I know not whether Jupiter will allot the prize to my son, but this I do know, that he is at least in the eyes of me his mother, the dearest, handsomest, and most beautiful of all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fire tries gold, misery tries brave men. [Lat., Ignis aurum probat, misera fortes viros.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42767]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fire tries gold, misery tries brave men. [Lat., Ignis aurum probat, misera fortes viros.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have no fear of being less beautiful, I've always been afraid of not being beautiful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36772]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have no fear of being less beautiful, I've always been afraid of not being beautiful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[False eloquence is exaggeration; true eloquence is emphasis. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13711]]></link><description><![CDATA[False eloquence is exaggeration; true eloquence is emphasis.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Christian Church does not want and does not need members because of a job it has to do.

The Christian Church has a secret at her heart and she wants to share it. Whenever one, by repentance and forgiveness, enters this community of grace, he discovers life's end, and he too will be constrained to let this life flow out in appropriate channels. Thrilling and costly projects will come into existence, but not as ends in themselves, and the group will not become a means to [such ends]. The group will never forget that one of its primary functions is to up build the members in love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For never anything can be amiss, When simpleness and duty tender it. -A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Yes, reading history will make you a better citizen and more appreciative of the law, and of freedom, and of how the economy works or doesn't work, but it is also an immense pleasure—the way art is, or music is, or poetry is.
