The Ass was left in a stable and had plenty of oats and hay to eat, just as any other Ass would. The Lapdog knew many tricks and was a great favorite with his master, who often fondled him and seldom went out to dine without bringing him home some tidbit to eat. The Ass, on the contrary, had much work to do in grinding the corn-mill and in carrying wood from the forest or burdens from the farm. He often lamented his own hard fate and contrasted it with the luxury and idleness of the Lapdog, till at last one day he broke his cords and halter, and galloped into his master's house, kicking up his heels without measure, and frisking and fawning as well as he could. He next tried to jump about his master as he had seen the Lapdog do, but he broke the table and smashed all the dishes upon it to atoms. He then attempted to lick his master, and jumped upon his back. The servants, hearing the strange hubbub and perceiving the danger of their master, quickly relieved him, and drove out the Ass to his stable with kicks and clubs and cuffs. The Ass, as he returned to his stall beaten nearly to death, thus lamented: I have brought it all on myself! Why could I not have been contented to labor with my companions, and not wish to be idle all the day like that useless little Lapdog!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The very uniqueness of the Resurrection as a historical event always causes problems when we try to describe it, just ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6787]]></link><description><![CDATA[The very uniqueness of the Resurrection as a historical event always causes problems when we try to describe it, just as it did for the original writers.

In the end, the first step of obedience proves to be an act of faith in the word of Christ. But we should completely misunderstand the nature of grace if we were to suppose that there was no need to take the first-step, because faith was already there. Against that, we must boldly assert that the step of obedience must be taken before faith can be possible. Unless he obeys, a man cannot believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One cannot subdue a man by holding back his hands.

For it is in love that we find the greatest of strengths and the deepest of sorrows. Love can seem to be so fleeting and unachievable yet it remains well within our reach if we only learn how to embrace it's power. To experience true love, we must be willing to open ourselves up and sacrifice part of our heart and part of our soul. We must be willing to give of ourselves freely, and we must be willing to suffer. It is only when we expose our inner selves to the white hot flame of rejection, that love can burn so brightly as to join to souls, melding the two into one, creating a bond that joins forever. It is from this bond that we draw strength eternal and power ever lasting. It is in this thing that we call love that we find the means to achieve greatness, both in ourselves and in our lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who'll argue with you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65493]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who'll argue with you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63419]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let him be kept from paper, pen, and ink; So may he cease to write, and learn to think. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50949]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let him be kept from paper, pen, and ink; So may he cease to write, and learn to think.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any one who is prosperous may by the turn of fortune's wheel become most wretched before evening. [Lat., Quivis beatus, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16568]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any one who is prosperous may by the turn of fortune's wheel become most wretched before evening. [Lat., Quivis beatus, versa rota fortunae, ante vesperum potest esse miserrimus.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[June falls asleep upon her bier of flowers; In vain are dewdrops sprinkled o'er her,  In vain would fond ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23565]]></link><description><![CDATA[June falls asleep upon her bier of flowers; In vain are dewdrops sprinkled o'er her,  In vain would fond winds fan her back to life,   Her hours are numbered on the floral dial.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pandemonium did not reign; it poured. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5611]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pandemonium did not reign; it poured.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're just playing real solid defensively right now.
