He appealed to the Ass tofly with him, lest they should both be captured, but the animallazily replied, Why should I, pray? Do you think it likely theconqueror will place on me two sets of panniers?' No, rejoinedthe Shepherd. Then, said the Ass, as long as I carry thepanniers, what matters it to me whom I serve?' In a change of government the poor change nothing beyond the name of their master.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58107]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58107</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I got up to the Peacock--where I found everybody drinking hot punch in self-preservation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13003]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I got up to the Peacock--where I found everybody drinking hot punch in self-preservation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dear, never forget one little point.

Only he who lives by the forgiveness of his sin in Jesus Christ will rightly think little of himself. He will know that his own wisdom reached the end of its tether when Jesus forgave him. He will know that it is good for his own will to be broken in the encounter with his neighbor...   But not only my neighbor's will, but also his honor is more important than mine. The desire for one's own honor hinders faith. One who seeks his own honor is no longer seeking God and his neighbor. What does it matter if I suffer injustice? Would I not have deserved even worse punishment from God, if He had not dealt with me according to His mercy?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Real rebels are rarely anything but second rate outside their rebellion; the drain of time and temper is ruinous to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53147]]></link><description><![CDATA[Real rebels are rarely anything but second rate outside their rebellion; the drain of time and temper is ruinous to any other accomplishment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You must be the change you wish to see in the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5529]]></link><description><![CDATA[You must be the change you wish to see in the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who loses money losses much.

The worst thing a book can do for a Christian is to leave him with the impression that he has received from it anything really good; the best it can do is to point the way to the Good he is seeking. The function of a good book is to stand like a signpost directing the reader toward the Truth and the Life. That book serves best which early makes itself unnecessary, just as a signpost serves best after it is forgotten, after the traveler has arrived safely at his desired haven. The work of a good book is to incite the reader to moral action, to turn his eves toward God and urge him forward. Beyond that it cannot go.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sex is a momentary itch, love never lets you go ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55270]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sex is a momentary itch, love never lets you go]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When there is an original sound in the world, it makes a hundred echoes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45294]]></link><description><![CDATA[When there is an original sound in the world, it makes a hundred echoes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We gave him a pitcher.
