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[A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63437]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["My country, right or wrong," is a thing that no patriot would think of saying except a desperate case.

Avoid a frontal attack on a long established position; instead, seek to turn it by flank movement, so that a more penetrable side is exposed to the thrust of truth. But, in any such indirect approach, take care not to diverge from the truth- for nothing is more fatal to its real advancement than to lapse into untruth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For women the best aphrodisiacs are words.

If, after all His claims and promises, Christ had died and merely lived on as a fragrant memory, He would only be revered as an extremely good but profoundly mistaken man. His claims to be God, His claims to be Himself the very principle of life, would be mere self-delusion. His authoritative pronouncements on the nature of God and Man and Life would be at once suspect. Why should He be right about the lesser things, if He was proved to be completely wrong in the greater?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I write everything on a xylophone! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18311]]></link><description><![CDATA[I write everything on a xylophone!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10446]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62140]]></link><description><![CDATA[Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62140</guid></item></channel></rss>
