For a long time the Farmer, brandishing an empty sling, chased them away by the terror he inspired; but when the birds found that the sling was only swung in the air, they ceased to take any notice of it and would not move. The Farmer, on seeing this, charged his sling with stones, and killed a great number. The remaining birds at once forsook his fields, crying to each other, It is time for us to be off to Liliput: for this man is no longer content to scare us, but begins to show us in earnest what he can do. If words suffice not, blows must follow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Under normal conditions the research scientist is not an innovator but a solver of puzzles, and the puzzles upon which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57030]]></link><description><![CDATA[Under normal conditions the research scientist is not an innovator but a solver of puzzles, and the puzzles upon which he concentrates are just those which he believes can be both stated and solved within the existing scientific tradition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Content is the philosopher's stone, that turns all it touches into gold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50975]]></link><description><![CDATA[Content is the philosopher's stone, that turns all it touches into gold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know a lot of people right now want to point fingers and criticize, but people should keep their powder ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38115]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know a lot of people right now want to point fingers and criticize, but people should keep their powder dry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always want more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29020]]></link><description><![CDATA[I always want more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes people can be a little fickle.

You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then - to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn." Ropo Oguntimehin Education is a companion which no future can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate it and no nepotism can enslave. -T.H.
