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[From Stirling Castle we had seen The mazy Forth unravelled;  Had trod the banks of Clyde and Tay,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54335]]></link><description><![CDATA[From Stirling Castle we had seen The mazy Forth unravelled;  Had trod the banks of Clyde and Tay,   And with the Tweed had travelled;    And when we came to Clovenford,     Then said "my winsome marrow,"      "Whate'er betide, we'll turn aside,       And see the braes of Yarrow."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best things in life are unexpected - because there were no expectations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14618]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best things in life are unexpected - because there were no expectations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17962]]></link><description><![CDATA[Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master.

Hundreds of people could not have been so mistaken, especially when Jesus offered clear evidence of it. But it was not an earthbound body. It was something that bore a developmental relationship to an earthly human body, but it was not identical with it. There was clearly a continuity of life between the body of Jesus and the body of the resurrected Jesus, but in the process of resurrection it had undergone a very fundamental change. That, at least, seems obvious. So much for the list of dissimilarities; the body of Jesus after the resurrection had a different appearance and also a different "form". It was "like" the previous body, it had some sort of developmental relationship to it, but it was obviously not "identical" with it. Now we must consider the similarities. Strangely, they all came down to one factor, but that factor is so important that it outweighs all the dissimilarities. It is simply this: Jesus before and after the resurrection was undeniably the same person. No matter what extraordinary changes had taken place in his bodily form, all who knew him well had no doubt at all who he was. They "knew" it was the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The great question - which I have not been able to answer - is: "What does a woman want?" ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63515]]></link><description><![CDATA[The great question - which I have not been able to answer - is: "What does a woman want?"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One man has enthusiasm !0 minutes, another !0 days, but it is the man who has it !0 years who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21737]]></link><description><![CDATA[One man has enthusiasm !0 minutes, another !0 days, but it is the man who has it !0 years who makes a success of his life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[AWB could not inform DFAT and the UN that that debt was being paid out of these two (wheat) contracts ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38435]]></link><description><![CDATA[AWB could not inform DFAT and the UN that that debt was being paid out of these two (wheat) contracts without disclosing that the actions in 1995/1996 had themselves been outside the sanctions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chatham was a game that we easily could have won, but we allowed them to score with one second left. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40086]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chatham was a game that we easily could have won, but we allowed them to score with one second left.
