The Lion agreed to assist the Wild Ass with his strength, while the Wild Ass gave the Lion the benefit of his greater speed. When they had taken as many beasts as their necessities required, the Lion undertook to distribute the prey, and for this purpose divided it into three shares. I will take the first share, he said, because I am King: and the second share, as a partner with you in the chase: and the third share (believe me) will be a source of great evil to you, unless you willingly resign it to me, and set off as fast as you can. Might makes right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hate the man who builds his name on the ruins of another's fame. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56565]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hate the man who builds his name on the ruins of another's fame.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The be-all and end-all of life should not be to get rich, but to enrich the world. -B.

How things really are --- and always will be --- is neither all-evil nor all-good but deficient, inconsistent, inferior. Principles invite us to do something about the morass of contradictions in which we function morally. Principles invite us to clean up our act; to become intolerant of moral laxity and compromise and cowardice and the turning away from what is upsetting: that secret gnawing of the heart that tells us that what we are doing is not right, and so counsels us that we'd be better off just not thinking about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Monica, Mother of Augustine of Hippo, 387  Christianity is pre-eminently the religion of the heart.

It does not always ask words, but it always wants work. The motives and not the means are the things on which it passes judgment. And the man who shows by his life that he is not ashamed of the Gospel will assuredly one day find that the Gospel is not ashamed of him. There is much more which might be said, but I refrain. Ere I close, you will let me add my emphasis to the fact that it is in our life and conduct that we must show our devotion to Christ. The silent Gospel reaches further than the grandest rhetoric.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: the fashionable non-conformist. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15332]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: the fashionable non-conformist.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am well aware that I am the 'umblest person going . . . let the other be where he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20020]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am well aware that I am the 'umblest person going . . . let the other be where he may.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While rationalism at the individual level is a plea for more personal autonomy from cultural norms, at the social level ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47141]]></link><description><![CDATA[While rationalism at the individual level is a plea for more personal autonomy from cultural norms, at the social level it is often a claim- or arrogation- of power to stifle the autonomy of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do you desire not to be angry?
