The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped. It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who profits by a crime, commits it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51156]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who profits by a crime, commits it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In my integrity I'll wrap me up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50274]]></link><description><![CDATA[In my integrity I'll wrap me up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50274</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You and I were long friends; you are now my enemy, and I am yours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13852]]></link><description><![CDATA[You and I were long friends; you are now my enemy, and I am yours.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O thou who passest through our valleys in Thy strength, curb thy fierce steeds, allay the heat  That flames ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58254]]></link><description><![CDATA[O thou who passest through our valleys in Thy strength, curb thy fierce steeds, allay the heat  That flames from their large nostrils!

He was willing to suffer and to be despised; do you dare to complain of anything? He had enemies and defamers; do you want everyone to be your friend, your benefactor? How can your patience be rewarded if no adversity tests it? How can you be a friend of Christ if you are not willing to suffer any hardship?
