He assembled a good many Foxes and publicly advised them to cut off their tails, saying that they would not only look much better without them, but that they would get rid of the weight of the brush, which was a very great inconvenience. One of them interrupting him said, If you had not yourself lost your tail, my friend, you would not thus counsel us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most certain test by which we judge whether a country is really free is the amount of security enjoyed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10232]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most certain test by which we judge whether a country is really free is the amount of security enjoyed by minorities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh Thou, who Man of baser Earth didst make, And ev'n with Paradise devise the snake;  For all the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16509]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh Thou, who Man of baser Earth didst make, And ev'n with Paradise devise the snake;  For all the Sin wherewith the Face of Man   Is blackened--Man's forgiveness give and take!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all have ability.
