One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and concealed himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the Bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and feigned the appearance of death as much as he could. The Bear soon left him, for it is said he will not touch a dead body. When he was quite gone, the other Traveler descended from the tree, and jocularly inquired of his friend what it was the Bear had whispered in his ear. He gave me this advice, his companion replied. Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger. Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The booking agent had the audacity to take 10 percent, so we wound up with about $100 a week apiece. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36147]]></link><description><![CDATA[The booking agent had the audacity to take 10 percent, so we wound up with about $100 a week apiece.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is important that those who read this book should not try to take an indecent advantage of Catholic self-criticism. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6877]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is important that those who read this book should not try to take an indecent advantage of Catholic self-criticism.

This is part of the responsibility we accord our licensed jesters, that nothing be excused the searching light of comedy. If anything can survive the probe of humour it is clearly of value, and conversely all groups who claim immunity from laughter are claiming special privileges which should not be granted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9501]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The foundation of justice is good faith. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23600]]></link><description><![CDATA[The foundation of justice is good faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remind a man of what he remembers, and you will make him forget it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remind a man of what he remembers, and you will make him forget it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Experience is the teacher of fools. [Lat., Stultorum eventus magister est.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14684]]></link><description><![CDATA[Experience is the teacher of fools. [Lat., Stultorum eventus magister est.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Look not mournfully into the Past; it comes not back again. Wisely improve the Present; it is thine. Go forth ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17098]]></link><description><![CDATA[Look not mournfully into the Past; it comes not back again. Wisely improve the Present; it is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy Future without fear and with a manly heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a completely rational society, the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66278]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a completely rational society, the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men perish with whispering sins--nay, with silent sins, sins that never tell the conscience that they are sins, as often ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8217]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men perish with whispering sins--nay, with silent sins, sins that never tell the conscience that they are sins, as often with crying sins; and in hell there shall meet as many men that never thought what was sin, as that spent all their thoughts in the compassing of sin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66689]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is an idea which we will present to the Israeli side.
