Thereafter, feeling his life a burden from the shame and ridicule to which he was exposed, he schemed to convince all the other Foxes that being tailless was much more attractive, thus making up for his own deprivation. He assembled a good many Foxes and publicly advised them to cut off their tails, saying that they would not only look much better without them, but that they would get rid of the weight of the brush, which was a very great inconvenience. One of them interrupting him said, If you had not yourself lost your tail, my friend, you would not thus counsel us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a true saying that a man must eat a peck of salt with his friend before he knows ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63139]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a true saying that a man must eat a peck of salt with his friend before he knows him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who is not satisfied with himself will grow; who is not sure of his own correctness will learn many things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12416]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who is not satisfied with himself will grow; who is not sure of his own correctness will learn many things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think either the Offspring or Green Day started their bands with the intention of becoming so enormously popular; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18306]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't think either the Offspring or Green Day started their bands with the intention of becoming so enormously popular; that sort of fell in their laps-especially the Offspring. My attitude is if somebody blunders into the level of popularity, at least remember the human factor. These guys are still human beings and hopefully still have hearts and if you keep in touch with them rather than vilify them you may be able to encourage them to go in the right direction. What I'm hoping will eventually happen is that they will grasp the amount of power and financial clout that is now at their fingertips and use those as tools to help real people with real things the way punk politics was always designed to do before, but nobody had any money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Since earlier this year, the administration has shifted from an ideological approach toward North Korea, which produced nothing but counterproductive ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35949]]></link><description><![CDATA[Since earlier this year, the administration has shifted from an ideological approach toward North Korea, which produced nothing but counterproductive results, to a realistic, pragmatic approach with interesting results.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've always had confidence, but I never let my ego get to the point that I think I'm the superstar, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13660]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've always had confidence, but I never let my ego get to the point that I think I'm the superstar, because I know that ego has destroyed many a poker career.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though you see a Church-man ill, yet continue in the Church still. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49979]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though you see a Church-man ill, yet continue in the Church still.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People never improve unless they look to some standard or example higher or better than themselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2267]]></link><description><![CDATA[People never improve unless they look to some standard or example higher or better than themselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Victories that are easy are cheap.

He only seemed to inhabit a material body, and from the Greek word dokein ["to seem"], people who held this theory were known as Docetists. But if Christ's incarnation was unreal, His death and resurrection were also unreal; and the whole gospel message was thus evacuated of its truth and power: one unhappy legacy of this short-lived phase of Christian heresy remains to bedevil Christian witness to Muslims up to the present day. For when the Koran says of Jesus that "they did not kill Him, nor did they crucify Him, but they thought they did", we may infer that Muhammad was indebted for this idea to a Christian source tainted with Docetism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not going to lie and say it doesn't hurt, ...

Among the adulatory formulas with which the emperor was acclaimed, Prof. Ethelbert Stauffer mentions, as going back to the first century, "Hail, Victory, Lord of the earth, Invincible, Power, Glory, Honour, Peace, Security, Holy, Blessed, Unequalled, Great, Thou alone worthy art, Worthy is he to inherit the Kingdom, Come, come, do not delay, Come again" (p. 155) [in Christ and the Caesars]. Indeed, one has only to read Psalm lxxii, in Latin, in the official language of the empire, to see that it is largely the same formal language which is used alike in the Forum for the advent of the emperor, and in the catacombs for the celebration of the "Epiphany of Christ" (p. 251). Who was worthy to ascend the throne of the universe and direct the course of history? Caesar, or Jesus?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Baseball is the only sport I know that when you are on offense the other team controls the ball. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3765]]></link><description><![CDATA[Baseball is the only sport I know that when you are on offense the other team controls the ball.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best of a book is not the thought which it contains, but the thought which it suggests; just as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4520]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best of a book is not the thought which it contains, but the thought which it suggests; just as the charm of music dwells not in the tones but in the echoes of our hearts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know any parents that look into the eyes of a newborn baby andsay, "How can we screw this ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22705]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't know any parents that look into the eyes of a newborn baby andsay, "How can we screw this kid up.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22705</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most confused we ever get is when we're trying to convince our heads of something our heart knows is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65526]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most confused we ever get is when we're trying to convince our heads of something our heart knows is a lie.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Competition is the whetstone of talent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9224]]></link><description><![CDATA[Competition is the whetstone of talent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Necessity never made a good bargain ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44033]]></link><description><![CDATA[Necessity never made a good bargain]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44033</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have heard robins singing in areas of Beaumont.
