Jupiter,after warning him that he would repent his request, caused him tobe sold to a tile-maker. Shortly afterwards, finding that he hadheavier loads to carry and harder work in the brick-field, hepetitioned for another change of master. Jupiter, telling himthat it would be the last time that he could grant his request,ordained that he be sold to a tanner. The Ass found that he hadfallen into worse hands, and noting his master's occupation,said, groaning: It would have been better for me to have beeneither starved by the one, or to have been overworked by theother of my former masters, than to have been bought by mypresent owner, who will even after I am dead tan my hide, andmake me useful to him.He that finds discontentment in one place is not likely to find happiness in another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We owe a deep debt of gratitude to Adam, the first great benefactor of the human race: he brought death ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11223]]></link><description><![CDATA[We owe a deep debt of gratitude to Adam, the first great benefactor of the human race: he brought death into the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe women have played major roles, both tangible or intangible, in the imperial family. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34521]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe women have played major roles, both tangible or intangible, in the imperial family.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It becomes a very important component in establishing regional security and stability, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29697]]></link><description><![CDATA[It becomes a very important component in establishing regional security and stability,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What I want back is what I wasBefore the bed, before the knife,Before the brooch-pin and the salveFixed me in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26897]]></link><description><![CDATA[What I want back is what I wasBefore the bed, before the knife,Before the brooch-pin and the salveFixed me in this parenthesis;Horses fluent in the wind,A place, a time gone out of mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your battles inspired me - not the obvious material battles but those that were fought and won behind your forehead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65569]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your battles inspired me - not the obvious material battles but those that were fought and won behind your forehead.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never seem wiser, nor more learned, than the people you are with.

That is why we can study everything else in nature much more surely than we can study ourselves.

For it is in love that we find the greatest of strengths and the deepest of sorrows. Love can seem to be so fleeting and unachievable yet it remains well within our reach if we only learn how to embrace it's power. To experience true love, we must be willing to open ourselves up and sacrifice part of our heart and part of our soul. We must be willing to give of ourselves freely, and we must be willing to suffer. It is only when we expose our inner selves to the white hot flame of rejection, that love can burn so brightly as to join to souls, melding the two into one, creating a bond that joins forever. It is from this bond that we draw strength eternal and power ever lasting. It is in this thing that we call love that we find the means to achieve greatness, both in ourselves and in our lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that hath no good trade, it is to his losse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49353]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that hath no good trade, it is to his losse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would be a billionaire if I was looking to be a selfish boss.

Every principle of selection, every separation connected with it that is not necessitated quite objectively by common work, local conditions, or family connections is of the greatest danger to a Christian community. When the way of intellectual or spiritual selection is taken, the human element always insinuates itself and robs the fellowship of its spiritual power and its effectiveness for the Church, and drives it into sectarianism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conservative, n: A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal who wishes to replace them ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47088]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conservative, n: A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal who wishes to replace them with others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I could have a degree in music and come on the show, and Simon could still say 'You stink'. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31986]]></link><description><![CDATA[I could have a degree in music and come on the show, and Simon could still say 'You stink'.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tide rises, the tide falls, The twilight darkens, the curlew calls;  . . . .   The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59266]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tide rises, the tide falls, The twilight darkens, the curlew calls;  . . . .   The little waves, with their soft, white hands,    Efface the footprints in the sands,     And the tide rises, the tide falls.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one can be so welcome a guest that he will not annoy his host after three days. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18424]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one can be so welcome a guest that he will not annoy his host after three days.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you have two drivers winning among themselves, the races become too predictable.
