Then I fervently longed to die like them, not out of any conscious love for Him, but in order to attain, as quickly as they had, those joys which, as I read, are laid up in Heaven. I used to discuss with my brother ways and means of becoming martyrs, and we agreed to go together to the land of the Moors, begging our way for the love of God, so that we might be beheaded there.

The Ass, as long as he traveled along the plain, carried his load with ease, but when he began to ascend the steep path of the mountain, felt his load to be more than he could bear. He entreated his companion to relieve him of a small portion, that he might carry home the rest; but the Mule paid no attention to the request. The Ass shortly afterwards fell down dead under his burden. Not knowing what else to do in so wild a region, the Muleteer placed upon the Mule the load carried by the Ass in addition to his own, and at the top of all placed the hide of the Ass, after he had skinned him. The Mule, groaning beneath his heavy burden, said to himself: I am treated according to my deserts. If I had only been willing to assist the Ass a little in his need, I should not now be bearing, together with his burden, himself as well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I dreamt that I dwelt in marble halls, With vassals and serfs at my side,  And of all who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12862]]></link><description><![CDATA[I dreamt that I dwelt in marble halls, With vassals and serfs at my side,  And of all who assembled within those walls,   That I was the hope and the pride.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Probably the difference between man and the monkeys is that the monkeys are merely bored, while man has boredom plus ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52143]]></link><description><![CDATA[Probably the difference between man and the monkeys is that the monkeys are merely bored, while man has boredom plus imagination.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52143</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is proud eats up himself.
