The Hare, believing her assertion to be simply impossible, assented to the proposal; and they agreed that the Fox should choose the course and fix the goal. On the day appointed for the race the two started together. The Tortoise never for a moment stopped, but went on with a slow but steady pace straight to the end of the course. The Hare, lying down by the wayside, fell fast asleep. At last waking up, and moving as fast as he could, he saw the Tortoise had reached the goal, and was comfortably dozing after her fatigue. Slow but steady wins the race.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I asked [my father] what there was to make doctoring more disgusting than nursing, which women were always doing, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34411]]></link><description><![CDATA[I asked [my father] what there was to make doctoring more disgusting than nursing, which women were always doing, and which ladies had done publicly in the Crimea.

St. Paul did not establish himself in a place and go on preaching for years to men who refused to act on his teaching. When once he had brought them to a point where decision was clear, he reminded that they should make their choice. If they rejected him, he rejected them... He did not simply "go away"; he openly rejected those who showed themselves unworthy of his teaching. It was part of the Gospel that men might "judge themselves unworthy of eternal life". It is a question which needs serious consideration whether the Gospel can be truly preached if this element is left out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O close my hand upon Beatitude! Not on her toys. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4317]]></link><description><![CDATA[O close my hand upon Beatitude! Not on her toys.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is run by C students. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13533]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world is run by C students.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24478]]></link><description><![CDATA[The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will to carry on. -Walter Lippmann.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness lies in our own backyard, but it's probably well hidden by crabgrass. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18663]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness lies in our own backyard, but it's probably well hidden by crabgrass.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The leader seeks to communicate his vision to his followers.
