The old man told him that he worshipped the fire only, and acknowledged no other God. At which answer Abraham grew so zealously angry, that he threw the old man out of his tent, and exposed him to all the evils of the night and an unguarded condition. When the old man was gone, God called to Abraham, and asked him where the stranger was. He replied, "I thrust him away, because he did not worship thee." God answered him, "I have suffered him these hundred years, though he dishonoured me; and wouldst thou not endure him one night?".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We pity in others only those evils which we have ourselves experienced. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46626]]></link><description><![CDATA[We pity in others only those evils which we have ourselves experienced.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How can we hope to remain economically competitive in a world in which... 90% of Dutch high-school students take advanced ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57500]]></link><description><![CDATA[How can we hope to remain economically competitive in a world in which... 90% of Dutch high-school students take advanced math courses and 100% of teachers in Germany have double majors, while the best we can say about our pocket of excellence is that 75% of [American] students have learned to critique tactfully?.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age is like flying through a storm.
