Look too, at my feathers-- they are not the least like those of a Crane.  The Farmer laughed aloud and said, It may be all as you say, I only know this: I have taken you with these robbers, the Cranes, and you must die in their company. Birds of a feather flock together.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dignity belongs to the conquered. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1247]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dignity belongs to the conquered.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give me the money that has been spent in war and I will clothe every man, woman, and child in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61182]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give me the money that has been spent in war and I will clothe every man, woman, and child in an attire of which kings and queens will be proud.
