A Dove sitting on a tree overhanging the water pluckeda leaf and let it fall into the stream close to her. The Antclimbed onto it and floated in safety to the bank. Shortlyafterwards a birdcatcher came and stood under the tree, and laidhis lime-twigs for the Dove, which sat in the branches. The Ant,perceiving his design, stung him in the foot. In pain thebirdcatcher threw down the twigs, and the noise made the Dovetake wing.One good turn deserves another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In response to higher electric costs, many customers have asked us to switch to monthly billing.

But let me tell you that herein you put an extremely difficult task upon us, in expecting that we should pour wine and oil into the wound before it be searched, and speak smooth and comfortable things to a man that is but just brought to a sense of the long course of a lewd and wicked life impenitently continued in. Alas! what comfort can we give to men in such a case? We are loth to drive them to despair; and yet we must not destroy them by presumption; pity and good nature do strongly tempt us to make the best of their case and to give them all the little hopes which with any kind of reason we can --and God knows it is but very little that we can give to such persons upon good ground, for it all depends upon the degree and sincerity of their repentance, which God only knows, and we can but guess at.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That is what the title of artist means: one who perceives more than his fellows, and who records more than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3258]]></link><description><![CDATA[That is what the title of artist means: one who perceives more than his fellows, and who records more than he has seen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3258</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou say'st his meat was sauced with thy upbradings; Unquiet meals make ill digestions;  Thereof the raging fire of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13260]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou say'st his meat was sauced with thy upbradings; Unquiet meals make ill digestions;  Thereof the raging fire of fever bred.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know what it was.
