A Fox, seeing this, longed to possess the meat himself, and by a wily stratagem succeeded. How handsome is the Crow, he exclaimed, in the beauty of her shape and in the fairness of her complexion! Oh, if her voice were only equal to her beauty, she would deservedly be considered the Queen of Birds! This he said deceitfully; but the Crow, anxious to refute the reflection cast upon her voice, set up a loud caw and dropped the flesh. The Fox quickly picked it up, and thus addressed the Crow: My good Crow, your voice is right enough, but your wit is wanting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today we are reaching from younger people to? baby boomers and up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34752]]></link><description><![CDATA[Today we are reaching from younger people to? baby boomers and up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hector is a super gifted person and an amazing organ player, ...

It is the grateful, faithful, fruitful use of what we have, little or much. It is to take the cup of Providence, and call upon the name of the Lord. What the cup contains is its contents. To get all that is in the cup is the act and art of contentment. Not to drink because one has but half a cup, or because one does not like its flavor, or because somebody else has silver to one's own glass, is to lose the contents; and that is the penalty, if not the meaning, of discontent. No one is discontented who employs and enjoys to the utmost what he has. It is high philosophy to say, we can have just what we like if we like what we have; but this much at least can be done, and this is contentment: to have the most and best in life by making the most and best of what we have.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A normal show would cost somebody to have a professional handler, about $75 a show.
