His road home lay across a stream into which his Ass, making a false step, fell by accident and rose up again with his load considerably lighter, as the water melted the sack. The Peddler retraced his steps and refilled his panniers with a larger quantity of salt than before. When he came again to the stream, the Ass fell down on purpose in the same spot, and, regaining his feet with the weight of his load much diminished, brayed triumphantly as if he had obtained what he desired. The Peddler saw through his trick and drove him for the third time to the coast, where he bought a cargo of sponges instead of salt. The Ass, again playing the fool, fell down on purpose when he reached the stream, but the sponges became swollen with water, greatly increasing his load. And thus his trick recoiled on him, for he now carried on his back a double burden.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Holidays - Have no pity ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26203]]></link><description><![CDATA[Holidays - Have no pity]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you are through changing, you are through. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5565]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you are through changing, you are through.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jay is a guy who is always going to put the ball in play.

And what He does is to come to each soul partaking in the Sacrament and to assure it that He stands to the best and biggest of His promises and to the fullness of His grace in Christ... de-universalizes the Scriptures and individualizes them, makes them a personal promise, couched no longer in general terms but offered to very you and very me, as individually as if they covered no other but referred to you and me alone. We may be cold and dead and unresponsive. None the less, something happens in the Sacrament.
