The Jackdaw, knowing his own ugliness, searched through the woods and fields, and collected the feathers which had fallen from the wings of his companions, and stuck them in all parts of his body, hoping thereby to make himself the most beautiful of all. When the appointed day arrived, and the birds had assembled before Jupiter, the Jackdaw also made his appearance in his many feathered finery. But when Jupiter proposed to make him king because of the beauty of his plumage, the birds indignantly protested, and each plucked from him his own feathers, leaving the Jackdaw nothing but a Jackdaw.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you're specifically looking for biking in Hawaii, we're easy to find.

There are no other examples of this usage in contemporary Judaism, but Jesus always addressed God in this way. The others perhaps regarded it as child's talk, a form of expression too disrespectful to be so used. But for Jesus, abba expressed the filial intimacy he felt toward his Father. As the divine Son of the Father, Jesus enjoyed a unique relationship with him, and his mission in the world consisted in opening up the blessings of sonship to those who believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tell me your profession, and I will anticipate your beliefs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4089]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tell me your profession, and I will anticipate your beliefs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wind in ones face makes one wise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49933]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wind in ones face makes one wise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reason's biological function is to preserve and promote life and to postpone its extinction as long as possible.
