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[It is a good idea to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54118]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a good idea to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presence may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing you can't spell will ever work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57368]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing you can't spell will ever work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957 There are three lessons I would write,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7531]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957 There are three lessons I would write,  Three words, as with a burning pen, In tracings of eternal light,  Upon the hearts of men. Have Hope. Though clouds environ round,  And gladness hides her face in scorn,  Put off the shadow from thy brow:  No night but hath its morn. Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven -  The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,  The inhabitants of earth. Have Love. Not love alone for one,  But man, as man, thy brother call;  And scatter, like a circling sun,  Thy charities on all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are some high-growth assets out there that we can purchase and we can purchase using the currency that we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40651]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are some high-growth assets out there that we can purchase and we can purchase using the currency that we have at a reasonably high multiple.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Still, this group won the most games in a season in 23 years.
