The Jackdaw, knowing his own ugliness, searched through the woods and fields, and collected the feathers which had fallen from the wings of his companions, and stuck them in all parts of his body, hoping thereby to make himself the most beautiful of all. When the appointed day arrived, and the birds had assembled before Jupiter, the Jackdaw also made his appearance in his many feathered finery. But when Jupiter proposed to make him king because of the beauty of his plumage, the birds indignantly protested, and each plucked from him his own feathers, leaving the Jackdaw nothing but a Jackdaw.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If people gathered to a political meeting, and the chief speaker spoke to them only for some quarter of an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7848]]></link><description><![CDATA[If people gathered to a political meeting, and the chief speaker spoke to them only for some quarter of an hour, they would be annoyed, would feel with some resentment that he had not taken them seriously, had dealt much too cavalierly with the question of the hour, an Ulster boundary, or such like. But the things of the soul are far more momentous, and to be asked to deal with huge, unfathomable facts like the Cross in a few minutes, means that people are not really interested in these things. This is, of course, a snippety age, with a snippety press, and snippety novels. But must we preachers follow and be snippety, too?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sever the ignorant doubt in your heart with the sword ofself-knowledge.
