Irving teaches me the lesson of cheerfulness, Hawthorne shows me the hatefulness of sin, Longfellow gives me the soft, tranquil music of hope. Lowell makes us feel that we must give ourselves to our fellow men. Whittier sings to me of divine Fatherhood and human brotherhood. These are Christian lessons: who inspired them? Who put it into the heart of Martin Luther to nail those theses on the church door of Wittenberg? Who stirred and fired the soul of Savonarola? Who thrilled and electrified the soul of John Wesley?

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[The supreme irony of life is that no one gets out of it alive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57050]]></link><description><![CDATA[The supreme irony of life is that no one gets out of it alive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first duty of wine is to be red.
