He took theAss home and put him in the straw-yard with his other Asses, uponwhich the new animal left all the others and at once joined theone that was most idle and the greatest eater of them all. Seeing this, the man put a halter on him and led him back to hisowner. On being asked how, in so short a time, he could havemade a trial of him, he answered, I do not need a trial; I knowthat he will be just the same as the one he chose for hiscompanion. A man is known by the company he keeps.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is tolerance? -- it is the consequence of humanity.

"Only those who believe obey" is what we say to that part of a believer's soul which obeys, and "only those who obey believe" is what we say to that part of the soul of the obedient which believes. If the first half of the proposition stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of cheap grace, which is another word for damnation. If the second half stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of salvation through works, which is also another word for damnation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have learned that to have a good friend is the purest of all God's gifts, for it is a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24507]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have learned that to have a good friend is the purest of all God's gifts, for it is a love that has no exchange of payment]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The lust of avarice has so totally seized upon mankind that their wealth seems rather to possess them than they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26063]]></link><description><![CDATA[The lust of avarice has so totally seized upon mankind that their wealth seems rather to possess them than they possess their wealth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Based off of what I've heard overall, I think people were very pleased. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40071]]></link><description><![CDATA[Based off of what I've heard overall, I think people were very pleased.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything.
