A Grasshopper, perishing with famine, passedby and earnestly begged for a little food. The Ants inquired ofhim, Why did you not treasure up food during the summer?' Hereplied, I had not leisure enough. I passed the days insinging. They then said in derision: If you were foolish enoughto sing all the summer, you must dance supperless to bed in thewinter.It is thrifty to prepare today for the wants of tomorrow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By a series of violent shocks, the nations in succession have struggled to shake off the Past, to reverse the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38397]]></link><description><![CDATA[By a series of violent shocks, the nations in succession have struggled to shake off the Past, to reverse the action of Time and the verdict of success, and to rescue the world from the reign of the dead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is conscious of guilt cannot bear the innocence of others: So they will try to reduce all others ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18486]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is conscious of guilt cannot bear the innocence of others: So they will try to reduce all others to their own level.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why, sir, Sherry is dull, naturally dull; but it must have taken him a great deal of pains to become ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58073]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why, sir, Sherry is dull, naturally dull; but it must have taken him a great deal of pains to become what we now see him.

Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me upon the Cross embrace; For me didst nails and spear endure, and manifold disgrace. Why, then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heaven, or of escaping hell--  Not with the hope of gaining aught, nor seeking a reward, But as Thyself hast loved me, O ever-loving Lord! E'en then I love Thee and will love, and in Thy praise will sing Solely because Thou art my God and my eternal King.   ... Anonymous Latin Hymn (Edward Caswall, translator)  January 29, 2001   No man desires anything so eagerly as God desires to bring men to the knowledge of Himself. God is always ready, but we are very unready. God is near us, but we are far from Him. God is within, and we are without. God is friendly -- we are estranged.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maturity is the capacity to endure uncertainty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22282]]></link><description><![CDATA[Maturity is the capacity to endure uncertainty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who after his transgression doth repent, Is halfe, or altogether, innocent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53819]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who after his transgression doth repent, Is halfe, or altogether, innocent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feeling grateful or appreciative of someone or something in your life actually attracts more of the things that you appreciate ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18180]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feeling grateful or appreciative of someone or something in your life actually attracts more of the things that you appreciate and value into your life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world does not owe men a living, but business, if it is to fulfill its ideal, owes men an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45111]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world does not owe men a living, but business, if it is to fulfill its ideal, owes men an opportunity to earn a living.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Know thy opportunity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50854]]></link><description><![CDATA[Know thy opportunity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things have changed throughout the state and a lot of farmers now have off-farm income. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33444]]></link><description><![CDATA[Things have changed throughout the state and a lot of farmers now have off-farm income.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is wiser to find out than to suppose ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22898]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is wiser to find out than to suppose]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Would they want Jeff Bagwell now making $17 million, or opt for access to $15 million?
