He returned to his den, and lying down there, pretended to be sick, taking care that his sickness should be publicly known. The beasts expressed their sorrow, and came one by one to his den, where the Lion devoured them. After many of the beasts had thus disappeared, the Fox discovered the trick and presenting himself to the Lion, stood on the outside of the cave, at a respectful distance, and asked him how he was. I am very middling, replied the Lion, but why do you stand without? Pray enter within to talk with me. No, thank you, said the Fox. I notice that there are many prints of feet entering your cave, but I see no trace of any returning. He is wise who is warned by the misfortunes of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So bright the tear in Beauty's eye, Love half regrets to kiss it dry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58785]]></link><description><![CDATA[So bright the tear in Beauty's eye, Love half regrets to kiss it dry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58785</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the highest-ranking union officers in the state is given a half-million-dollar gift by a sitting U.S. senator.

This is the one only band of union betwixt God and the creature... Here the necessity is absolute; nothing will do instead of this will; all contrivances of holiness, all forms of religious piety, signify nothing without this will to all goodness. For as the will to all goodness is the whole nature of God, so it must be the whole nature of every service of religion that can be acceptable to him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The purpose of a funeral service is to comfort the living.
