Strengthen my soul so that the weakening instinct of self-preservation, which besets all of us in battle, shall not blind me to my duty to my own manhood, to the glory of my calling, and to my responsibility to my fellow soldiers. Grant to our armed forces that disciplined valor and mutual confidence which insures success in war. Let me not mourn for the men who have died fighting, but rather let me be glad that such heroes have lived. If it be my lot to die, let me do so with courage and honor in a manner which will bring the greatest harm to the enemy, and please, oh Lord, protect and guide those I shall leave behind. Give us the victory, Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soft-heartedness, in times like these, Shows sof'ness in the upper story! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61337]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soft-heartedness, in times like these, Shows sof'ness in the upper story!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When he said that, I believed him, that he didn't send me here. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36311]]></link><description><![CDATA[When he said that, I believed him, that he didn't send me here.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a really nice surprise, ...

One of the Apes, who had raised himself to beking, commanded them to be seized and brought before him, that hemight know what was said of him among men. He ordered at thesame time that all the Apes be arranged in a long row on hisright hand and on his left, and that a throne be placed for him,as was the custom among men. After these preparations hesignified that the two men should be brought before him, andgreeted them with this salutation: What sort of a king do I seemto you to be, O strangers?' The Lying Traveler replied, You seemto me a most mighty king. And what is your estimate of thoseyou see around me?' These, he made answer, are worthycompanions of yourself, fit at least to be ambassadors andleaders of armies. The Ape and all his court, gratified with thelie, commanded that a handsome present be given to the flatterer. On this the truthful Traveler thought to himself, If so great areward be given for a lie, with what gift may not I be rewarded,if, according to my custom, I tell the truth?' The Ape quicklyturned to him. And pray how do I and these my friends around meseem to you?' Thou art, he said, a most excellent Ape, and allthese thy companions after thy example are excellent Apes too.The King of the Apes, enraged at hearing these truths, gave himover to the teeth and claws of his companions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not the fastest horse can catch a word spoken in anger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62809]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not the fastest horse can catch a word spoken in anger.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was difficult to exclude him but we don't want to see another breakdown of our main bowler.
