My broken limb should excite your pity. Besides, I am no Crane, I am a Stork, a bird of excellent character; and see how I love and slave for my father and mother. Look too, at my feathers-- they are not the least like those of a Crane.  The Farmer laughed aloud and said, It may be all as you say, I only know this: I have taken you with these robbers, the Cranes, and you must die in their company. Birds of a feather flock together.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our confidence isn't as good as it was in the beginning, but we're getting there.

It is here amongst the people, that the Church must worship and live its life. If it is faithful both to God and to its Gospel, it will be used to hold forth the Word of light to the conversion of those that see and hear. But if its light is hid, then wherewith shall the neighborhood be lighted?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7418</guid></item></channel></rss>
