Theday being intensely hot, and the sun shining in its strength, theTraveler stopped to rest, and sought shelter from the heat underthe Shadow of the Ass. As this afforded only protection for one,and as the Traveler and the owner of the Ass both claimed it, aviolent dispute arose between them as to which of them had theright to the Shadow. The owner maintained that he had let theAss only, and not his Shadow. The Traveler asserted that he had,with the hire of the Ass, hired his Shadow also. The quarrelproceeded from words to blows, and while the men fought, the Assgalloped off. In quarreling about the shadow we often lose the substance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Crescit eundo [It grows as it goes] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43283]]></link><description><![CDATA[Crescit eundo [It grows as it goes]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blood alone moves the wheels of history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4348]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blood alone moves the wheels of history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4348</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Charity separates the rich from the poor; aid raises the needy and sets him on the same level with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5720]]></link><description><![CDATA[Charity separates the rich from the poor; aid raises the needy and sets him on the same level with the rich.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whose house is of glasse, must not throw stones at another. [Whose house is of glass, must not throw stones ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50110]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whose house is of glasse, must not throw stones at another. [Whose house is of glass, must not throw stones at another.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never inquire into another man's secret; bur conceal that which is intrusted to you, though pressed both be wine and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54979]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never inquire into another man's secret; bur conceal that which is intrusted to you, though pressed both be wine and anger to reveal it. [Lat., Arcanum neque tu scrutaveris ullius unquam, commissumve teges et vino tortus et ira.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We, African-Americans, need to be more conscious of Africa.

He should make this purpose the centralizing point ofhis thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be aworldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whicheverit is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object whichhe has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, andshould devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts towander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is theroyal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if hefails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily mustuntil weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be themeasure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point forfuture power and triumph.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freedom Know this, that every man is free To choose his life and what he'll be.
