Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped. It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soft Machine were going more in the direction of fusion jazz and I didn't like that. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40021]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soft Machine were going more in the direction of fusion jazz and I didn't like that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three sleepless nights I passed in sounding on, Through words and things, a dim and perilous way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22887]]></link><description><![CDATA[Three sleepless nights I passed in sounding on, Through words and things, a dim and perilous way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All have disappointments, all have times when it isn't worthwhile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12373]]></link><description><![CDATA[All have disappointments, all have times when it isn't worthwhile.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scientific progress consists in the development of new concepts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57084]]></link><description><![CDATA[Scientific progress consists in the development of new concepts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We trust our secrets to our friends, but they escape from us in love. [Fr., L'on confie son secret dans ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54980]]></link><description><![CDATA[We trust our secrets to our friends, but they escape from us in love. [Fr., L'on confie son secret dans l'amitie, mais il echappe dans l'amour.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One may discover a new side to his most intimate friend when for the first time he hears him speak ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22969]]></link><description><![CDATA[One may discover a new side to his most intimate friend when for the first time he hears him speak in public.
