The Hare said, Oh, how I have longed to see this day, in which the weak shall take their place with impunity by the side of the strong.

The old man told him that he worshipped the fire only, and acknowledged no other God. At which answer Abraham grew so zealously angry, that he threw the old man out of his tent, and exposed him to all the evils of the night and an unguarded condition. When the old man was gone, God called to Abraham, and asked him where the stranger was. He replied, "I thrust him away, because he did not worship thee." God answered him, "I have suffered him these hundred years, though he dishonoured me; and wouldst thou not endure him one night?".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A poem records emotions and moods that lie beyond normal language, that can only be patched together and hinted at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33583]]></link><description><![CDATA[A poem records emotions and moods that lie beyond normal language, that can only be patched together and hinted at metaphorically.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Speak not too well of one who scarce will know Himself transfigured in its roseate glow; Say kindly of him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4941]]></link><description><![CDATA[Speak not too well of one who scarce will know Himself transfigured in its roseate glow; Say kindly of him what is, chiefly, true, Remembering always he belongs to you; Deal with him as a truant, if you will, But claim him, keep him, call him brother still!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To threaten people and to accuse a country because a newspaper has published some cartoons or some information that could ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29417]]></link><description><![CDATA[To threaten people and to accuse a country because a newspaper has published some cartoons or some information that could be interpreted as offensive for one group or another is completely inappropriate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Celibacy is not just a matter of not having sex.
