The Hare, believing her assertion to be simply impossible, assented to the proposal; and they agreed that the Fox should choose the course and fix the goal. On the day appointed for the race the two started together. The Tortoise never for a moment stopped, but went on with a slow but steady pace straight to the end of the course. The Hare, lying down by the wayside, fell fast asleep. At last waking up, and moving as fast as he could, he saw the Tortoise had reached the goal, and was comfortably dozing after her fatigue. Slow but steady wins the race.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is born with the pleasure of looking at each other, it is fed with the necessity of seeing each ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25041]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is born with the pleasure of looking at each other, it is fed with the necessity of seeing each other, it is concluded with the impossibility of separation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without music, life would be a mistake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43532]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without music, life would be a mistake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heigh ho, heigh ho! / It's off to work we go. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5284]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heigh ho, heigh ho! / It's off to work we go.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63052]]></link><description><![CDATA[The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63052</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness lies in our own backyard, but it's probably well hidden by crabgrass. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18663]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness lies in our own backyard, but it's probably well hidden by crabgrass.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every time I went away I was deceiving my mum.

Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths, Our bruised arms hung up for monuments, Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings, Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front; And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber To the lascivious pleasing of a lute. But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass; I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph; I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, And that so lamely and unfashionable That dogs bark at me as I halt by them,— Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight to pass away the time, Unless to spy my shadow in the sun. -King Richard III.
