The Huntsman wished to have the fish, and their owner experienced an equal longing for the contents of the game-bag. They quickly agreed to exchange the produce of their day's sport. Each was so well pleased with his bargain that they made for some time the same exchange day after day. Finally a neighbor said to them, If you go on in this way, you will soon destroy by frequent use the pleasure of your exchange, and each will again wish to retain the fruits of his own sport. Abstain and enjoy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Food for powder, food for powder; they 'll fill a pit as well as better. -King Henry IV.

This supposition rests upon a misunderstanding of what is meant by "the Kingdom of God"... The Kingdom itself is not something to be "furthered" or "built" by men's efforts. It is something which we are invited to recognize as already present, after a manner, in the life and work of Jesus. It is something to be inherited or entered into by those who believe. The task of the Church, in other words, is not to set the stage for a better world than this one but to draw the curtain from it, to reveal something that is already there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We believe that the applause of silence is the only kind that counts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2933]]></link><description><![CDATA[We believe that the applause of silence is the only kind that counts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let me tell you, Cassius, you yourself Are much condemned to have an itching palm,  To sell and mart ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59135]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let me tell you, Cassius, you yourself Are much condemned to have an itching palm,  To sell and mart your offices for gold   To undeservers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing produces such an effect as a good platitude ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2706]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing produces such an effect as a good platitude]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all have special numbers in our lives, and 4 is that for me.
