One of the Apes, who had raised himself to beking, commanded them to be seized and brought before him, that hemight know what was said of him among men. He ordered at thesame time that all the Apes be arranged in a long row on hisright hand and on his left, and that a throne be placed for him,as was the custom among men. After these preparations hesignified that the two men should be brought before him, andgreeted them with this salutation: What sort of a king do I seemto you to be, O strangers?' The Lying Traveler replied, You seemto me a most mighty king. And what is your estimate of thoseyou see around me?' These, he made answer, are worthycompanions of yourself, fit at least to be ambassadors andleaders of armies. The Ape and all his court, gratified with thelie, commanded that a handsome present be given to the flatterer. On this the truthful Traveler thought to himself, If so great areward be given for a lie, with what gift may not I be rewarded,if, according to my custom, I tell the truth?' The Ape quicklyturned to him. And pray how do I and these my friends around meseem to you?' Thou art, he said, a most excellent Ape, and allthese thy companions after thy example are excellent Apes too.The King of the Apes, enraged at hearing these truths, gave himover to the teeth and claws of his companions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When one door is closed, don't you know, another is open. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66907]]></link><description><![CDATA[When one door is closed, don't you know, another is open.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65130]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Myself when young did eagerly frequent Doctor and Saint, and heard great argument  About it and about: but evermore ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3057]]></link><description><![CDATA[Myself when young did eagerly frequent Doctor and Saint, and heard great argument  About it and about: but evermore   Came out by the same door wherein I went.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life itself can't give you joy, unless you really will it.

But at the submicroscopic level, specks of matter scattered through a vast emptiness have such incredible density and weight, and are linked to one another by such powerful forces, that together they produce all the properties of concrete, cast iron and solid rock.
