Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If people take the trouble to cook, you should take the trouble to eat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10149]]></link><description><![CDATA[If people take the trouble to cook, you should take the trouble to eat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Ass and the Old Shepherd A SHEPHERD, watching his Ass feeding in a meadow, was alarmed allof a sudden ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1504]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Ass and the Old Shepherd A SHEPHERD, watching his Ass feeding in a meadow, was alarmed allof a sudden by the cries of the enemy. He appealed to the Ass tofly with him, lest they should both be captured, but the animallazily replied, Why should I, pray? Do you think it likely theconqueror will place on me two sets of panniers?' No, rejoinedthe Shepherd. Then, said the Ass, as long as I carry thepanniers, what matters it to me whom I serve?' In a change of government the poor change nothing beyond the name of their master.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Timothy and Titus, Companions of Paul Commemoration of Dorothy Kerin, Founder of the Burrswood Healing Community, 1963  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7377]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Timothy and Titus, Companions of Paul Commemoration of Dorothy Kerin, Founder of the Burrswood Healing Community, 1963   The problem is not that the churches are filled with empty pews, but that the pews are filled with empty people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64653]]></link><description><![CDATA[I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can't learn to do it well, learn to enjoy doing it badly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can't learn to do it well, learn to enjoy doing it badly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Teach us that wealth is not elegance, that profusion is not magnificence, that splendor is not beauty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60355]]></link><description><![CDATA[Teach us that wealth is not elegance, that profusion is not magnificence, that splendor is not beauty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We humans do, when the cause is sufficient, spend our lives.
