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[Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48634]]></link><description><![CDATA[Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48634</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men of the noblest dispositions think themselves happiest when others share their happiness with them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17265]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men of the noblest dispositions think themselves happiest when others share their happiness with them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our business in life is not to get ahead of others, but to get ahead of ourselves -- to break ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5003]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our business in life is not to get ahead of others, but to get ahead of ourselves -- to break our own records, to outstrip our yesterday by our today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Central depth of purple, Leaves more bright than rose,  Who shall tell what brightest thought   Out of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47682]]></link><description><![CDATA[Central depth of purple, Leaves more bright than rose,  Who shall tell what brightest thought   Out of darkness grows?    Who, through what funereal pain,     Souls to love and peace attain?   - Leigh Hunt (James Henry Leigh Hunt),]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two ways of being creative.

In fact, however, faith in Jesus Christ crucified and risen did not first appear at some later stage in the tradition, but was the foundation of the tradition, the very soil out of which it grew; and it is in light of that faith alone that the tradition can be understood. This faith in Jesus Christ, the Crucified and Exalted One, explains both the things which the primitive tradition makes known to us, with its manifest concern for the factual truth of the tradition about Jesus, and at the same time the peculiar liberty which the evangelists take in making alterations in the record in points of detail. In relating the acts and words of Jesus, they do not refer back to any sort of "archives" possessed by the community... Jesus Christ is not for them a figure of past history whose proper place is in a library.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come, come, good wine is a good familiar creature if it be well used.

The one only and infallible way to go safely through all the difficulties, trials, temptations, dryness, or opposition of our own evil tempers is this: It is to expect nothing from ourselves, to trust to nothing in ourselves, but in everything to expect and depend upon God for relief. Keep fast hold of this thread, and then let your way be what it will -- darkness, temptation, or the rebellion of nature -- you will be led through it all, to an union with God: for nothing hurts us in any state but an expectation of some thing in it and from it, which we should only expect from God.
