One at last put the other to flight. The vanquished Cock skulked away and hid himself in a quiet corner, while the conqueror, flying up to a high wall, flapped his wings and crowed exultingly with all his might. An Eagle sailing through the air pounced upon him and carried him off in his talons. The vanquished Cock immediately came out of his corner, and ruled henceforth with undisputed mastery. Pride goes before destruction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People's reactions can be surprising but, if you have overwhelming news, I suppose the only thing you can do is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42538]]></link><description><![CDATA[People's reactions can be surprising but, if you have overwhelming news, I suppose the only thing you can do is just look, because you're stunned.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seeing death as the end of life is like seeing the horizon as the end of the ocean. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11265]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seeing death as the end of life is like seeing the horizon as the end of the ocean.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Out of this nettle, danger, we pluck this flower, safety. -King Henry IV.

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[He that hath the grace of God, hath wealth enough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51405]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that hath the grace of God, hath wealth enough.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bad literature . . . is a form of treason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59660]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bad literature . . . is a form of treason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freedom of expression must be considered sacred and thought can only be corrected by counter thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65360]]></link><description><![CDATA[Freedom of expression must be considered sacred and thought can only be corrected by counter thought.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm just happy she's been able to have the kind of year, and her team has had the kind of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35485]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm just happy she's been able to have the kind of year, and her team has had the kind of year they've had.

Their leaders knew very well, however, that secularism, like any other parasite, derives its sustenance from the object on which it feeds, and so they were rather pleased when milquetoast Christians timidly offered, as a definition of secularism, "living as though God did not exist." What Christians should have called it was, rather, "a contemptibly fraudulent way of living on the cheap, by reaping the maximum fruits of Christian effort, while contributing the minimum effort of your own." When secularists accused Christians of "living in the past," the Christians ought to have retaliated by pointing out that secularists were "living off the past." By the time they got around to doing so, however, the majority of secularists had become morally incapable of seeing the point.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nurse one vice in your bosom.
