For a long time the Farmer, brandishing an empty sling, chased them away by the terror he inspired; but when the birds found that the sling was only swung in the air, they ceased to take any notice of it and would not move. The Farmer, on seeing this, charged his sling with stones, and killed a great number. The remaining birds at once forsook his fields, crying to each other, It is time for us to be off to Liliput: for this man is no longer content to scare us, but begins to show us in earnest what he can do. If words suffice not, blows must follow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only mediocrity can be trusted to be always at its best. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22027]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only mediocrity can be trusted to be always at its best.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hardest part of gaining any new idea is sweeping out the false idea occupying that niche. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52235]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hardest part of gaining any new idea is sweeping out the false idea occupying that niche.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There have been three great inventions since the beginning of time: fire, the wheel, and central banking ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23020]]></link><description><![CDATA[There have been three great inventions since the beginning of time: fire, the wheel, and central banking]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I didn't want this to be the last game out there [Saturday].

When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it. He next opened the faggot, took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into his sons' hands, upon which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music.
