His road home lay across a stream into which his Ass, making a false step, fell by accident and rose up again with his load considerably lighter, as the water melted the sack. The Peddler retraced his steps and refilled his panniers with a larger quantity of salt than before. When he came again to the stream, the Ass fell down on purpose in the same spot, and, regaining his feet with the weight of his load much diminished, brayed triumphantly as if he had obtained what he desired. The Peddler saw through his trick and drove him for the third time to the coast, where he bought a cargo of sponges instead of salt. The Ass, again playing the fool, fell down on purpose when he reached the stream, but the sponges became swollen with water, greatly increasing his load. And thus his trick recoiled on him, for he now carried on his back a double burden.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Democrats voiced their argument that Bush is too extreme on abortion for most voters.] Republicans try to avoid the issue ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38162]]></link><description><![CDATA[[Democrats voiced their argument that Bush is too extreme on abortion for most voters.] Republicans try to avoid the issue to get nominated, ...

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[You must not allow yourself to be advised, cautioned, influenced, persuaded ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5380]]></link><description><![CDATA[You must not allow yourself to be advised, cautioned, influenced, persuaded]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not in mine eyes alone in Paradise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14835]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not in mine eyes alone in Paradise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After graduation I plan on substituting in Jackson Township schools as an elementary school teacher.
