Shortly afterwards, finding that he hadheavier loads to carry and harder work in the brick-field, hepetitioned for another change of master. Jupiter, telling himthat it would be the last time that he could grant his request,ordained that he be sold to a tanner. The Ass found that he hadfallen into worse hands, and noting his master's occupation,said, groaning: It would have been better for me to have beeneither starved by the one, or to have been overworked by theother of my former masters, than to have been bought by mypresent owner, who will even after I am dead tan my hide, andmake me useful to him.He that finds discontentment in one place is not likely to find happiness in another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Deserted, at his utmost need, By those his former bounty fed;  On the bare earth exposed he lies,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20891]]></link><description><![CDATA[Deserted, at his utmost need, By those his former bounty fed;  On the bare earth exposed he lies,   With not a friend to close his eyes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As large as life, and twice as natural. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2810]]></link><description><![CDATA[As large as life, and twice as natural.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13092]]></link><description><![CDATA[For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His locked, lettered, braw brass collar, Shewed him the gentleman and scholar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2720]]></link><description><![CDATA[His locked, lettered, braw brass collar, Shewed him the gentleman and scholar.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No action will be considered blameless, unless the will was so, for by the will the act was dictated. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61621]]></link><description><![CDATA[No action will be considered blameless, unless the will was so, for by the will the act was dictated.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I guess we're coming out of the shadows of football. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29689]]></link><description><![CDATA[I guess we're coming out of the shadows of football.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The weak in courage is strong in cunning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10844]]></link><description><![CDATA[The weak in courage is strong in cunning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have wished it so, you have wished it so, George Dandin, you have wished it so. [Fr., Vous l'avez ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61786]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have wished it so, you have wished it so, George Dandin, you have wished it so. [Fr., Vous l'avez voulu, vous l'avez voulu, George Dandin, vous l'avez voulu.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am definitely going to take a course on time management... just as soon as I can work it into ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14582]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am definitely going to take a course on time management... just as soon as I can work it into my schedule.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The absolute fundamental aim is to make money out of satisfying customers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15852]]></link><description><![CDATA[The absolute fundamental aim is to make money out of satisfying customers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fame is fickle and I know it.
