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[Virtue treads paths that end not in the grave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60818]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtue treads paths that end not in the grave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The two powers which in my opinion constitute a wise man are those of bearing and forbearing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53388]]></link><description><![CDATA[The two powers which in my opinion constitute a wise man are those of bearing and forbearing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martyrs of Japan, 1597   To have faith is to rely upon Christ, the Person, with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7382]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martyrs of Japan, 1597   To have faith is to rely upon Christ, the Person, with the whole heart.

They never fail to help widows; they save orphans from those who would hurt them. If a man has something, he gives freely to the man who has nothing. If they see a stranger, Christians take him home and are happy, as though he were a real brother. They don't consider themselves brothers in the usual sense, but brothers instead through the Spirit, in God. And if they hear that one of them is in jail, or persecuted for professing the name of their redeemer, they all give him what he needs -- if it is possible, they bail him out. If one of them is poor and there isn't enough food to go around, they fast several days to give him the food he needs... This is really a new kind of person. There is something divine in them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never swap horses crossing a stream. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5585]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never swap horses crossing a stream.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hear how the birds, on ev'ry blooming spray, With joyous musick wake the dawning day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4245]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hear how the birds, on ev'ry blooming spray, With joyous musick wake the dawning day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Between the optimist and the pessimist, the difference is droll.
