Perceiving their simplicity, he cast down a huge log into the lake. The Frogs were terrified at the splash occasioned by its fall and hid themselves in the depths of the pool. But as soon as they realized that the huge log was motionless, they swam again to the top of the water, dismissed their fears, climbed up, and began squatting on it in contempt. After some time they began to think themselves ill-treated in the appointment of so inert a Ruler, and sent a second deputation to Jupiter to pray that he would set over them another sovereign. He then gave them an Eel to govern them. When the Frogs discovered his easy good nature, they sent yet a third time to Jupiter to beg him to choose for them still another King. Jupiter, displeased with all their complaints, sent a Heron, who preyed upon the Frogs day by day till there were none left to croak upon the lake.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a tragic mix-up when the United States spends $500,000 for every enemy soldier killed, and only $53 annually ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20937]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a tragic mix-up when the United States spends $500,000 for every enemy soldier killed, and only $53 annually on the victims of poverty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Literature, the most seductive, the most deceiving, the most dangerous of professions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25272]]></link><description><![CDATA[Literature, the most seductive, the most deceiving, the most dangerous of professions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I, who have no sisters or brothers, look with some degree of innocent envy on those who may be said ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62862]]></link><description><![CDATA[I, who have no sisters or brothers, look with some degree of innocent envy on those who may be said to be born to friends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom is to the soul what health is to the body ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4427]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom is to the soul what health is to the body]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is folly to put the plough in front of the oxen. [Fr., Folie est mettre la charrue devant les ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45267]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is folly to put the plough in front of the oxen. [Fr., Folie est mettre la charrue devant les boeufs.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who knows how to be poor knows everything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47896]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who knows how to be poor knows everything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all the things I do, acting is the thing that grabs most, but there's another level on which it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37227]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all the things I do, acting is the thing that grabs most, but there's another level on which it strikes me as being a little silly.

But Man having induced death upon himself, God hath taken Man's Creature, death, into his hand, and mended it, and whereas it hath in itself a fearfull form and aspect, so that Man is afraid of his own Creature, God presents it to him, in a familiar, in an assiduous, in an agreeable and acceptable form, in sleep, that so when he awakes from sleep and says to himself, shall I be no otherwise when I am dead, than I was even now, when I was asleep, he may be ashamed of his waking dreams, and of his Melancholique fancying out a horrid and an affrightful figure of that death which is so like sleep. As then we need sleep to live out our threescore and ten years, so we need death, to live that life which we cannot out-live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The condo market in Arizona is nuts right now.

It is the untroubled that are in danger. Trouble in itself is always a claim on love, and God is love. He must deny Himself if He does not come to help the helpless. It is the prisoners, and the blind, and the leper, and the possessed, and the hungry, and the tempest-tossed, who are His special care. Therefore if you are lost and sick and bound, you are just in the place where He can meet you. Blessed are the mourners. They shall be comforted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7095</guid></item></channel></rss>
