One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and concealed himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the Bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and feigned the appearance of death as much as he could. The Bear soon left him, for it is said he will not touch a dead body. When he was quite gone, the other Traveler descended from the tree, and jocularly inquired of his friend what it was the Bear had whispered in his ear. He gave me this advice, his companion replied. Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger. Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This new voting initiative hits the issue of a narrow nominations' process head-on and significantly increases the potential for the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33674]]></link><description><![CDATA[This new voting initiative hits the issue of a narrow nominations' process head-on and significantly increases the potential for the widest and most diverse selection of nominees possible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What every man needs, regardless of his job or the kind of work he is doing, is a vision of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22233]]></link><description><![CDATA[What every man needs, regardless of his job or the kind of work he is doing, is a vision of what his place is and may be. He needs an objective and a purpose. He needs a feeling and a belief that he has some worthwhile thing to do. What this is no one can tell him. It must be his own creation. Its success will be measured by the nature of his vision, what he has done to equip himself, and how well he has performed along the line of its development.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take a little rum The less you take the better  Pour it in the lakes   Of Wener ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26688]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take a little rum The less you take the better  Pour it in the lakes   Of Wener or of Wetter.    Dip a spoonful out     And mind you don't get groggy,      Pour it in the lake       Of Winnipissiogie.        Stir the mixture well         Lest it prove inferior,          Then put half a drop           Into Lake Superior.            Every other day             Take a drop in water,              You'll be better soon               Or at least you oughter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Break open a cherry tree and there are no flowers, but the spring breeze brings forth myriad blossoms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43880]]></link><description><![CDATA[Break open a cherry tree and there are no flowers, but the spring breeze brings forth myriad blossoms.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Fourth Estate, of Able Editors, springs up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23330]]></link><description><![CDATA[A Fourth Estate, of Able Editors, springs up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23330</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fate is what happens to you when your luck runs out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12085]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fate is what happens to you when your luck runs out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Repentance is another name for aspiration. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53844]]></link><description><![CDATA[Repentance is another name for aspiration.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When mental energy is allowed to follow the line of least resistance and to fall into easy channels, it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37023]]></link><description><![CDATA[When mental energy is allowed to follow the line of least resistance and to fall into easy channels, it is called weakness]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37023</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9341]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born.

The best games are not those in which all goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those in which the outcome is always in doubt. Similarly, the geometry of life is designed to keep us at the point of maximum tension between certainty and uncertainty, order and chaos. Every important call is a close one. We survive and evolve by the skin of our teeth. We really wouldn't want it any other way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Mason Neale, Priest, Poet, 1866  The word "carnal" is ambiguous.

"Flesh" means sin and corruption, and is opposed to the Spirit; but embodiment, outward manifestation, concrete form, is not opposed to the Spirit. "Carnal" means sinful and hostile to God; the evil spirits, who we suppose possess no bodies, are carnal, but the Son of God became man, the Word was made flesh, He took upon Him a human body as well as a reasonable soul. God's ways and thoughts are not ours. While the abstract and ethereal imaginations of human reason create a god, who is not spirit, and whom they do not worship in spirit and truth, the God of the Bible is God manifest in the flesh -- Emmanuel... Did not Jesus, after His resurrection, eat before His disciples, who gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and honey? Is not the earth to be the scene of God's triumph and manifestation? Whatever is revealed in spiritual, whatever man imagines is carnal; the end of the ways of God is embodiment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To live peaceably with all breedes good blood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50009]]></link><description><![CDATA[To live peaceably with all breedes good blood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't see Iraq the way you see it on TV.
