The Hare, believing her assertion to be simply impossible, assented to the proposal; and they agreed that the Fox should choose the course and fix the goal. On the day appointed for the race the two started together. The Tortoise never for a moment stopped, but went on with a slow but steady pace straight to the end of the course. The Hare, lying down by the wayside, fell fast asleep. At last waking up, and moving as fast as he could, he saw the Tortoise had reached the goal, and was comfortably dozing after her fatigue. Slow but steady wins the race.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[and hit it with a hammer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38708]]></link><description><![CDATA[and hit it with a hammer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wouldn't trade him for any other player in Tucson. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40607]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wouldn't trade him for any other player in Tucson.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's music in the sighing of a reed; There's music in the gushing of a rill;  There's music in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43444]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's music in the sighing of a reed; There's music in the gushing of a rill;  There's music in all things, if men had ears:   Their earth is but an echo of the spheres.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom is ofttimes nearer when we stoop than when we soar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/966]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom is ofttimes nearer when we stoop than when we soar.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be prepared is half the victory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9894]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be prepared is half the victory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Water continually dropping will wear hard rocks hollow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46162]]></link><description><![CDATA[Water continually dropping will wear hard rocks hollow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have learned to use the word 'impossible' with the greatest caution. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65164]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have learned to use the word 'impossible' with the greatest caution.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26285]]></link><description><![CDATA[Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26285</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My mother worked hard for a long time and now I work hard to make sure that she doesn't have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38884]]></link><description><![CDATA[My mother worked hard for a long time and now I work hard to make sure that she doesn't have to work, ...
