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[He is feeling a tremendous amount of disappointment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32786]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is feeling a tremendous amount of disappointment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hearing ear is always found close to the speaking tongue; and no genius can long or often utter anything ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18998]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hearing ear is always found close to the speaking tongue; and no genius can long or often utter anything which is not invited and gladly entertained by men around him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have learned more about love, selflessness and human understanding in this great adventure in the world of Aids than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12492]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have learned more about love, selflessness and human understanding in this great adventure in the world of Aids than I ever did in the cut-throat, competitive world in which I spent my life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want a hero: an uncommon want, When every year and month sends forth a new one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19219]]></link><description><![CDATA[I want a hero: an uncommon want, When every year and month sends forth a new one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Margaret, Queen of Scotland, Philanthropist, Reformer of the Church, 1093 Commemoration of Edmund Rich of Abingdon, Archbishop of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6735]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Margaret, Queen of Scotland, Philanthropist, Reformer of the Church, 1093 Commemoration of Edmund Rich of Abingdon, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1240   Exclusive concentration on the criterion of historicity obscures the intent, meaning, and message of the narrative which, after all, are its enduring qualities. If Abraham's migration can no longer be explained as part of a larger Amorite migratory stream from east to west, it should be noted that what has fallen by the wayside is a scholarly hypothesis, not the Biblical text. Genesis itself presents the movement from Haran to Canaan as an individual, unique act undertaken in response to a divine call -- an event, not an incident -- that inaugurates a new and decisive stage in God's plan of history. The factuality or otherwise of this Biblical evaluation lies beyond the scope of scholarly research.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was something deep down inside I wanted to do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37957]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was something deep down inside I wanted to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him to find it withinhimself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21190]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him to find it withinhimself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Complete adaptation to environment means death.
