An Eagle, hovering near, heard her lamentation and demanded what reward she would give him if he would take her aloft and float her in the air. I will give you, she said, all the riches of the Red Sea. I will teach you to fly then, said the Eagle; and taking her up in his talons he carried her almost to the clouds suddenly he let her go, and she fell on a lofty mountain, dashing her shell to pieces. The Tortoise exclaimed in the moment of death: I have deserved my present fate; for what had I to do with wings and clouds, who can with difficulty move about on the earth?' If men had all they wished, they would be often ruined.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The eye of the master will do more work than both his hands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14805]]></link><description><![CDATA[The eye of the master will do more work than both his hands.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every government is a parliament of whores.

God Himself cannot make a creature to be in itself, or in its own nature, anything else but a state of emptiness. The highest life that is natural and creaturely can go no higher than this: it can only be a bare capacity for goodness and cannot possibly be a good and happy life but by the life of God dwelling in it and in union with it. And this is the two-fold life that, of all necessity, must be united in every good and happy and perfect creature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've that within for which there are no plasters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56237]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've that within for which there are no plasters.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fiction reveals truths that reality obscures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20546]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fiction reveals truths that reality obscures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth is more of a stranger than fiction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59819]]></link><description><![CDATA[Truth is more of a stranger than fiction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Naming & Circumcision of Jesus  The moment we make up our minds that we are going ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7128]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Naming & Circumcision of Jesus  The moment we make up our minds that we are going on with this determination to exalt God overall, we step out of the world's parade...
