Being in want of food, he called to a Sheep who was passing, and asked him to fetch some water from a stream flowing close beside him. For, he said, if you will bring me drink, I will find means to provide myself with meat. Yes, said the Sheep, if I should bring you the draught, you would doubtless make me provide the meat also. Hypocritical speeches are easily seen through.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On the twelfth day I left it, my Unix gave to me: Twelve boards a-blowing; Eleven chips a-smoking; Ten ports ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60261]]></link><description><![CDATA[On the twelfth day I left it, my Unix gave to me: Twelve boards a-blowing; Eleven chips a-smoking; Ten ports a-jamming; Nine floppies frying; Eight gettys dying; Seven blown partitions; Six bad controllers; Five core dumps; Four bad blocks; Three heads crashed; Two faulty tapes; And a burnt-out V.D.T.

But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a woman and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called `falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though I might travel afar, I will meet only what I carry withme, for every man is amirror.

For maximum comprehension, do not start listening until the first clause is concluded. Begin instead at the word "but" which begins the second, or active, clause. This is the way to tell a liberal from a conservative -- before they tell you. Thus: "I have always believed in a strong national defense, second to none, but ... " (a liberal, about to propose a $20 billion defense cut).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a narrow circle the mind contracts. Man grows with his expanded needs.  [Ger., Im engen Kreis verengert sich ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18398]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a narrow circle the mind contracts. Man grows with his expanded needs.  [Ger., Im engen Kreis verengert sich der Sinn.   Es wachst der Mensch mit seinen grossern Zwecken.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Charity sees the need not the cause. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51885]]></link><description><![CDATA[Charity sees the need not the cause.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The supreme, the merciless, the destroyer of opposition, the exalted King, the shepherd, the protector of the quarters of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19505]]></link><description><![CDATA[The supreme, the merciless, the destroyer of opposition, the exalted King, the shepherd, the protector of the quarters of the world, the King the word of whose mouth destroys mountains and seas, who by his lordly attack has forced mighty and merciless Kings from the rising of the sun to the setting of the same to acknowledge one supremacy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Farewell!" For in that word--that fatal word--howe'er  We promise--hope--believe--there breathes despair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19767]]></link><description><![CDATA["Farewell!" For in that word--that fatal word--howe'er  We promise--hope--believe--there breathes despair.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You reign, I rule.
