Jupiter,after warning him that he would repent his request, caused him tobe sold to a tile-maker. Shortly afterwards, finding that he hadheavier loads to carry and harder work in the brick-field, hepetitioned for another change of master. Jupiter, telling himthat it would be the last time that he could grant his request,ordained that he be sold to a tanner. The Ass found that he hadfallen into worse hands, and noting his master's occupation,said, groaning: It would have been better for me to have beeneither starved by the one, or to have been overworked by theother of my former masters, than to have been bought by mypresent owner, who will even after I am dead tan my hide, andmake me useful to him.He that finds discontentment in one place is not likely to find happiness in another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Caroline Chisholm, Social Reformer, 1877  I know the power obedience has of making things easy which seem ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8052]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Caroline Chisholm, Social Reformer, 1877  I know the power obedience has of making things easy which seem impossible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8052</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Illinois pork producers and the pork industry are committed to providing a safe, quality, affordable protein source, while caring for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35425]]></link><description><![CDATA[Illinois pork producers and the pork industry are committed to providing a safe, quality, affordable protein source, while caring for the environment, being a good neighbor, and adding economic development to our economy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Speech is silver; silence is golden. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17792]]></link><description><![CDATA[Speech is silver; silence is golden.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[‘Nouveau riche’ is better than ‘no riche.’ ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14768]]></link><description><![CDATA[‘Nouveau riche’ is better than ‘no riche.’]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The deepest experience of the creator is feminine, for it is experience of receiving and bearing. - Letters of Rainer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10591]]></link><description><![CDATA[The deepest experience of the creator is feminine, for it is experience of receiving and bearing. - Letters of Rainer Maria Rilke.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[See yonder maker of the dead man's bed, The sexton, hoary-headed chronicle,  Of hard, unmeaning face, down which ne'er ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18207]]></link><description><![CDATA[See yonder maker of the dead man's bed, The sexton, hoary-headed chronicle,  Of hard, unmeaning face, down which ne'er stole   A gentle tear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gossip is a sort of smoke that comes from the dirty tobacco-pipes of those who diffuse it; it proves nothing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17883]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gossip is a sort of smoke that comes from the dirty tobacco-pipes of those who diffuse it; it proves nothing but the bad taste of the smoker.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Foolish tongues talke by the dozen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49249]]></link><description><![CDATA[Foolish tongues talke by the dozen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49249</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not a deception, ...

Money can't buy a clear conscience—square dealing is the price tag. Money can't buy the glow of good health—right living is the secret. Money can't buy happiness—happiness is a mental condition and one may be as happy in a cottage as in a mansion. Money can't buy sunsets, songs of wild birds and the music of the wind in the trees—these are as free as the air we breath. Money can't buy inward peace—peace is the result of a constructive philosophy in life. Money can't buy a good character—good character is achieved through decent habits of private living and wholesome dealings in our open contacts with our fellow men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou hast the keys of Paradise, O just, subtle, and mighty opium! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20530]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou hast the keys of Paradise, O just, subtle, and mighty opium!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lucy was lovely. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29926]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lucy was lovely.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The key to any game is to use your strengths and hide your weaknesses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9238]]></link><description><![CDATA[The key to any game is to use your strengths and hide your weaknesses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who trusts himself for safety to the care of a wicked man, in seeking succour meets with ruin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50839]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who trusts himself for safety to the care of a wicked man, in seeking succour meets with ruin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not mix de galloping of your horse, my knight, with the beating of your heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53183]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not mix de galloping of your horse, my knight, with the beating of your heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't invest in R&D, you're going to get left behind, because all the other companies are doing it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30060]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't invest in R&D, you're going to get left behind, because all the other companies are doing it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But I never had that commercial opportunity to be played on the radio, so how could I be popular? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41179]]></link><description><![CDATA[But I never had that commercial opportunity to be played on the radio, so how could I be popular?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wise living consists perhaps less in acquiring good habits than in acquiring as few habits as possible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52313]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wise living consists perhaps less in acquiring good habits than in acquiring as few habits as possible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Families are great murderers of the creative impulse, particularly husbands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63956]]></link><description><![CDATA[Families are great murderers of the creative impulse, particularly husbands.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I heard a bird so sing, Whose music, to my thinking, pleased the king. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4247]]></link><description><![CDATA[I heard a bird so sing, Whose music, to my thinking, pleased the king.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46967]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I open up a big cabinet, and I have a collection of helmits.
