An Ant passed by,bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to thenest.Why not come and chat with me, said the Grasshopper,instead of toiling and moiling in that way?I am helping to lay up food for the winter, said the Ant,and recommend you to do the same.Why bother about winter? said the Grasshopper; we have gotplenty of food at present. But the Ant went on its way andcontinued its toil. When the winter came the Grasshopper had nofood and found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the antsdistributing every day corn and grain from the stores they hadcollected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew:It is best to prepare for the days of necessity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friends are like television.

Now I'm a little more . . . jaded •Source Unknown  People say the word 'naive' as if it were a bad thing. Frankly, I believe that being naive, like a child, is being innocent. Being innocent is happiness. Once innocence is lost there is no turning back, we have now become cynical and jaded adults •Source Unknown  We'll have to change our jaded ways, but I've loved these days. •Billy Joel  ...time misspent and faculties mis-employed, and senses jaded by labor, or impaired by excess, cannot be recalled any more than that freshness of the heart, before it has become aware of the deceits of others, and of its own. •John Randolph  I'm not jaded but I'm not controlled by my emotions. It's not that I'm emotionless, I just have the ability not to be controlled by things like love and hate. •Marilyn Manson  If I don't make it know that, I've loved you all along.

I have no hesitation in answering, Yes, it can, and it must. St. Paul wrote, "The very spring of our actions is the love of Christ. We look at it this way: if one died for all men, then in a sense, they all died; and his purpose in dying for them is that their lives should now be no longer lived for themselves but for Him who died and rose again for them." There is the motive. Can anyone doubt that St. Paul's ministry was fruitful -- in wisdom, in Christ-like character, in testimony to the power of the Spirit of Christ -- or effective -- in conversions, in churches planted, in men raised up to carry on the work? Yet St. Paul spent long hours working with his hands to support himself. He served Christ, therefore, as an "amateur". Dare we say he was not really a "full time" worker? Or was he not really "unpaid"?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was an innovator, an experimenter, a missionary in bringing the gospel of good cooking to the home table. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10155]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was an innovator, an experimenter, a missionary in bringing the gospel of good cooking to the home table.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where thou art, that is home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19633]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where thou art, that is home.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The finest language is mostly made up of simple unimposing words. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24024]]></link><description><![CDATA[The finest language is mostly made up of simple unimposing words.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sentiment is intellectualized emotion; emotion precipitated, as it were, in pretty crystals by the fancy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55175]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sentiment is intellectualized emotion; emotion precipitated, as it were, in pretty crystals by the fancy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many a man's reputation would not know his character if they met on the street. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53918]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many a man's reputation would not know his character if they met on the street.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, this life Is nobler than attending for a check,  Richer than doing nothing for a robe,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48204]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, this life Is nobler than attending for a check,  Richer than doing nothing for a robe,   Prouder than rustling in unpaid-for silk:    Such pain the cap of him that makes him fine     Yet keeps his book uncrossed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politics is almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous.
