With them he trapped a Stork that had fractured his leg in the net and was earnestly beseeching the Farmer to spare his life. Pray save me, Master, he said, and let me go free this once. My broken limb should excite your pity. Besides, I am no Crane, I am a Stork, a bird of excellent character; and see how I love and slave for my father and mother. Look too, at my feathers-- they are not the least like those of a Crane.  The Farmer laughed aloud and said, It may be all as you say, I only know this: I have taken you with these robbers, the Cranes, and you must die in their company. Birds of a feather flock together.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[. . . for righteous monarchs, Justly to judge, with their own eyes should see;  To rule o'er freemen, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16664]]></link><description><![CDATA[. . . for righteous monarchs, Justly to judge, with their own eyes should see;  To rule o'er freemen, should themselves be free.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As this is their right in line with the criminal code of the country, the court has recorded their decision ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28426]]></link><description><![CDATA[As this is their right in line with the criminal code of the country, the court has recorded their decision of choice as a plea of not guilty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a time in the life of every problem when it is big enough to see, yet small enough ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44250]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a time in the life of every problem when it is big enough to see, yet small enough to solve.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On the destination list of Washington, ... you'll have the MCI Center area, Georgetown and, now, boom, the South Capitol ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29250]]></link><description><![CDATA[On the destination list of Washington, ... you'll have the MCI Center area, Georgetown and, now, boom, the South Capitol Street ballpark area.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are few cases in which mere popularity should be considered a proper test of merit; but the case of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47707]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are few cases in which mere popularity should be considered a proper test of merit; but the case of song-writing is, I think, one of the few.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you suffer, thank God!

Utopias are the straws to which those cling who have no real hope; utopias are as unattractive as they are incredible, for those who know what real hope is. Utopias are not a consequence of true hope but a poor substitute for it and therefore a hindrance and not a help. The hope that is in Jesus Christ is different from all utopias of universal progress. It is based on the revelation of the crucified one. It is, therefore, not an uncertain speculation about the future but a certainty based upon what God has already revealed. One cannot believe in Jesus Christ without knowing for certain that God's victory over all powers of destruction, including death, is the end towards which the time process moves as its own end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A healthy nation is as unconscious of its nationality as a healthy man of his bones.
