The Ass was left in a stable and had plenty of oats and hay to eat, just as any other Ass would. The Lapdog knew many tricks and was a great favorite with his master, who often fondled him and seldom went out to dine without bringing him home some tidbit to eat. The Ass, on the contrary, had much work to do in grinding the corn-mill and in carrying wood from the forest or burdens from the farm. He often lamented his own hard fate and contrasted it with the luxury and idleness of the Lapdog, till at last one day he broke his cords and halter, and galloped into his master's house, kicking up his heels without measure, and frisking and fawning as well as he could. He next tried to jump about his master as he had seen the Lapdog do, but he broke the table and smashed all the dishes upon it to atoms. He then attempted to lick his master, and jumped upon his back. The servants, hearing the strange hubbub and perceiving the danger of their master, quickly relieved him, and drove out the Ass to his stable with kicks and clubs and cuffs. The Ass, as he returned to his stall beaten nearly to death, thus lamented: I have brought it all on myself! Why could I not have been contented to labor with my companions, and not wish to be idle all the day like that useless little Lapdog!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Concentrated political power is the most dangerous thing on earth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47104]]></link><description><![CDATA[Concentrated political power is the most dangerous thing on earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I say to the moment: 'Stay now!

Dr. (Thomas) Chalmers tells us that he was brought up -- such was the effect of the current orthodoxy upon him -- in a certain distrust of good works. Some were certainly wanted, but not as being themselves salvation, only, as he puts it, as tokens of justification. It was a distinct stage in his religious progress when he realized that true justification sanctifies, and that the soul can and ought to abandon itself spontaneously and joyfully to do the good that it delights in. The modern mind assumes what Dr. Chalmers painfully discovered. An atonement that does not regenerate, it truly holds, is not an atonement in which men can be asked to believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a jest, and all things show it, I thought so once, and now I know it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23217]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is a jest, and all things show it, I thought so once, and now I know it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To believe Christ's cross to be a friend, as he himself is a friend, is also a special act of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6381]]></link><description><![CDATA[To believe Christ's cross to be a friend, as he himself is a friend, is also a special act of faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Gregory the Great, Bishop of Rome, Teacher, 604   The task is not, in essence, the securing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Gregory the Great, Bishop of Rome, Teacher, 604   The task is not, in essence, the securing of uniformity, or cooperation, or Church reunion, or any of the external forms, through which nevertheless the unity may be manifested. Within the wide bounds of the Christian Church there is abundant scope for the multiplicity of races, languages, and social conditions; room also for separate organizations with different traditions of faith and order, and much diversity of operation. But there is no room for strife or hostility, for pride or selfassertion, for exclusiveness or unkind judgments, nor for that kind of independence which leads men to ignore their fellowship with the great company of believers, the communion of saints. These things are contrary to the revealed will of God, and should be made at once to cease. As these disappear, the outward manifestation of unity will come in such ways as the Spirit of God shall guide.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For what is the best choice, for each individual is the highest it is possible for him to achieve. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/357]]></link><description><![CDATA[For what is the best choice, for each individual is the highest it is possible for him to achieve.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Timidity is a fault for which it is dangerous to reprove persons whom we wish to correct of it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59368]]></link><description><![CDATA[Timidity is a fault for which it is dangerous to reprove persons whom we wish to correct of it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The easiest thing to be in the world is you.
