A Goat, overcome with thirst, came to the same well, and seeing the Fox, inquired if the water was good. Concealing his sad plight under a merry guise, the Fox indulged in a lavish praise of the water, saying it was excellent beyond measure, and encouraging him to descend. The Goat, mindful only of his thirst, thoughtlessly jumped down, but just as he drank, the Fox informed him of the difficulty they were both in and suggested a scheme for their common escape. If, said he, you will place your forefeet upon the wall and bend your head, I will run up your back and escape, and will help you out afterwards. The Goat readily assented and the Fox leaped upon his back. Steadying himself with the Goat's horns, he safely reached the mouth of the well and made off as fast as he could. When the Goat upbraided him for breaking his promise, he turned around and cried out, You foolish old fellow! If you had as many brains in your head as you have hairs in your beard, you would never have gone down before you had inspected the way up, nor have exposed yourself to dangers from which you had no means of escape. Look before you leap.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[See they suffer death, But in their deaths remember they are men,  Strain not the laws to make their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52546]]></link><description><![CDATA[See they suffer death, But in their deaths remember they are men,  Strain not the laws to make their tortures grievous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's an insult to be just a great cover guy.

All we can do is believe or disbelieve; to give it in our life the place of the final reality to which everything else must give way, or to refuse it that place. Many people ... would like to talk the Word of God over. It raises in their minds various questions they would willingly discuss. It has aspects of interest and of difficulty which call for consideration; and so on. Perhaps there are some that confusedly shield themselves against the responsibilities of faith and unbelief by such thoughts. All that such thoughts prove, however, is that those who cherish them have never yet realized that what we are dealing with in the Gospel is GOD. When God speaks in Christ, He reveals His gracious will without qualification. And without qualification, we have to believe in it, or refuse to believe, and so decide the controversy between ourselves and Him. God has not come into the world in Christ ... to be talked about, but to become the supreme reality on the life of men, or to be excluded from that place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Errors are not in the art but in the artificers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65430]]></link><description><![CDATA[Errors are not in the art but in the artificers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think most people will believe that Arthur Anderson died because (after Enron imploded) ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29654]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think most people will believe that Arthur Anderson died because (after Enron imploded)]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kindness is wisdom.
