The emphasis is on unselfish. Excepting a small minority of mercenary or sadistic disposition, wars are not fought for personal gain, but out of loyalty and devotion to king, country or cause. Homicide committed for personal reasons is a statistical rarity in all cultures, including our own. Homicide for unselfish reasons, at the risk of one's own life, is the dominant phenomenon of history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With our short sight we affect to take a comprehensive view of eternity.

TheChrysalis moved its tail, and thus attracted the attention of the Ant,who then saw for the first time that it was alive. Poor, pitiableanimal! cried the Ant disdainfully. What a sad fate is yours!While I can run hither and thither, at my pleasure, and, if I wish,ascend the tallest tree, you lie imprisoned here in your shell, withpower only to move a joint or two of your scaly tail. The Chrysalisheard all this, but did not try to make any reply. A few days after,when the Ant passed that way again, nothing but the shell remained.Wondering what had become of its contents, he felt himself suddenlyshaded and fanned by the gorgeous wings of a beautiful Butterfly.Behold in me, said the Butterfly, your much-pitied friend! Boastnow of your powers to run and climb as long as you can get me tolisten. So saying, the Butterfly rose in the air, and, borne alongand aloft on the summer breeze, was soon lost to the sight of theAnt forever.Appearances are deceptive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the mischief is done the door is shut. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50532]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the mischief is done the door is shut.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never swap horses crossing a stream. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5585]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never swap horses crossing a stream.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They met on the streets of Seattle.
