His master suspended a bell about his neck so that the Dog might give notice of his presence wherever he went. Thinking it a mark of distinction, the Dog grew proud of his bell and went tinkling it all over the marketplace. One day an old hound said to him: Why do you make such an exhibition of yourself? That bell that you carry is not, believe me, any order of merit, but on the contrary a mark of disgrace, a public notice to all men to avoid you as an ill mannered dog. Notoriety is often mistaken for fame.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Read but o'er the Stories Of men most fam'd for courage or for counsaile  And you shall find that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15089]]></link><description><![CDATA[Read but o'er the Stories Of men most fam'd for courage or for counsaile  And you shall find that the desire of glory   Was the last frailty wise men put of;    Be they presidents.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It seems to me that the problem with diaries, and the reason that most of them are so boring, is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12200]]></link><description><![CDATA[It seems to me that the problem with diaries, and the reason that most of them are so boring, is that every day we vacillate between examining our hangnails and speculating on cosmic order.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alone I walked on the ocean strand, A pearly shell was in my hand;  I stooped, and wrote upon ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alone I walked on the ocean strand, A pearly shell was in my hand;  I stooped, and wrote upon the sand   My name, the year, the day.    As onward from the sport I passed,     One lingering look behind I cast,      A wave came rolling high and fast,       And washed my lines away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...your mom calls you up every other day to beg you to get a real job so she can hold ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62468]]></link><description><![CDATA[...your mom calls you up every other day to beg you to get a real job so she can hold her head up at your cousin's upcoming wedding reception -- you're good with technology, have you ever considered becoming a Xerox machine repairperson?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is as real as a dream.

Thereafter, feeling his life a burden from the shame and ridicule to which he was exposed, he schemed to convince all the other Foxes that being tailless was much more attractive, thus making up for his own deprivation. 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.
