With them he trapped a Stork that had fractured his leg in the net and was earnestly beseeching the Farmer to spare his life. Pray save me, Master, he said, and let me go free this once. My broken limb should excite your pity. Besides, I am no Crane, I am a Stork, a bird of excellent character; and see how I love and slave for my father and mother. Look too, at my feathers-- they are not the least like those of a Crane.  The Farmer laughed aloud and said, It may be all as you say, I only know this: I have taken you with these robbers, the Cranes, and you must die in their company. Birds of a feather flock together.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our patience wasn't there and the tempo and continuity in our offense was off. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31277]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our patience wasn't there and the tempo and continuity in our offense was off.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good temper is an estate for life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58862]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good temper is an estate for life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm tired of hearing it said that democracy doesn't work.

We have no reason to mistrust the New Testament assurance. The Easter message and the historical Jesus are joined by a bridge resting on many piers. Jesus proclaimed the good news of the presence of God who, like a forgiving father, seeks his lost children and grants even sinners the company of the Redeemer; the disciples preached the Gospel of Christ, who appeared as saviour and died on the cross for sinners. In the Holy Spirit Jesus drove out unclean spirits and conquered Satan; from Easter onwards he was extolled as the Lord of all spirits, who gives the Holy Spirit to believers and in him is ever present with them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Summer makes me drowsy.
