TheChrysalis moved its tail, and thus attracted the attention of the Ant,who then saw for the first time that it was alive. Poor, pitiableanimal! cried the Ant disdainfully. What a sad fate is yours!While I can run hither and thither, at my pleasure, and, if I wish,ascend the tallest tree, you lie imprisoned here in your shell, withpower only to move a joint or two of your scaly tail. The Chrysalisheard all this, but did not try to make any reply. A few days after,when the Ant passed that way again, nothing but the shell remained.Wondering what had become of its contents, he felt himself suddenlyshaded and fanned by the gorgeous wings of a beautiful Butterfly.Behold in me, said the Butterfly, your much-pitied friend! Boastnow of your powers to run and climb as long as you can get me tolisten. So saying, the Butterfly rose in the air, and, borne alongand aloft on the summer breeze, was soon lost to the sight of theAnt forever.Appearances are deceptive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to enjoy the rainbow, be prepared to endure the storm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63255]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want to enjoy the rainbow, be prepared to endure the storm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are more Physitians in health then drunkards. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49947]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are more Physitians in health then drunkards.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any fact is better established by two or three good testimonies than by a thousand arguments. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3064]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any fact is better established by two or three good testimonies than by a thousand arguments.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This speaks well of our kids to play hard and make their way to the finals, ...

It is the grateful, faithful, fruitful use of what we have, little or much. It is to take the cup of Providence, and call upon the name of the Lord. What the cup contains is its contents. To get all that is in the cup is the act and art of contentment. Not to drink because one has but half a cup, or because one does not like its flavor, or because somebody else has silver to one's own glass, is to lose the contents; and that is the penalty, if not the meaning, of discontent. No one is discontented who employs and enjoys to the utmost what he has. It is high philosophy to say, we can have just what we like if we like what we have; but this much at least can be done, and this is contentment: to have the most and best in life by making the most and best of what we have.   ...

Babcock August 7, 2000 Commemoration of John Mason Neale, Priest, Poet, 1866   For all the vigour of his polemic, St. Paul does not content himself with the denunciation of error, but finds the best defense against its insidious approaches in a closer adherence to the love of God and faith in Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I begin by taking.
