The Lion agreed to assist the Wild Ass with his strength, while the Wild Ass gave the Lion the benefit of his greater speed. When they had taken as many beasts as their necessities required, the Lion undertook to distribute the prey, and for this purpose divided it into three shares. I will take the first share, he said, because I am King: and the second share, as a partner with you in the chase: and the third share (believe me) will be a source of great evil to you, unless you willingly resign it to me, and set off as fast as you can. Might makes right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sense of death is most in apprehension, And the poor beetle that we tread upon  In corporal sufferance ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3918]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sense of death is most in apprehension, And the poor beetle that we tread upon  In corporal sufferance finds a pang as great   As when a giant dies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Greater consumption due to increase in population and growth of income heightens scarcity and induces price run-ups.

A higher price represents an opportunity that leads inventors and businesspeople to seek new ways to satisfy the shortages. Some fail, at cost to themselves. A few succeed, and the final result is that we end up better off than if the original shortage problems had never arisen. That is, we need our problems, though this does not imply that we should purposely create additional problems for ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[EPIPHANY   What should I think of my child, if I found that he limited his faith in me ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8095]]></link><description><![CDATA[EPIPHANY   What should I think of my child, if I found that he limited his faith in me and hope from me to the few promises he had heard me utter! The faith that limits itself to the promises of God seems to me to partake of the paltry character of such a faith in my child -- good enough for a Pagan, but for a Christian a miserable and wretched faith. Those who rest in such a faith would feel yet more comfortable if they had God's bond instead of His word, which they regard not as the outcome of His character but as a pledge of His honour. They try to believe in the truth of His word, but the truth of His Being they understand not. In His oath they persuade themselves that they put confidence: in himself they do not believe, for they know Him not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, Teacher, 397  Moreover, you are not to ask what each man's desserts are. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7679]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, Teacher, 397  Moreover, you are not to ask what each man's desserts are. Mercy is not ordinarily held to consist in pronouncing judgment on another man's deserts, but in relieving his necessities; in giving aid to the poor, not in inquiring how good they are.  .. St. Ambrose    December 8, 1997  There is a manifest want of spiritual influence on the ministry of the present day. I feel it in my own case and I see it in that of others. I am afraid there is too much of a low, managing, contriving, maneuvering temper of mind among us. We are laying ourselves out more than is expedient to meet one man's taste and another man's prejudices. The ministry is a grand and holy affair, and it should find in us a simple habit of spirit and a holy but humble indifference to all consequences. A leading defect in Christian ministers is want of a devotional habit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When spider webs unite, they can tie up a lion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21684]]></link><description><![CDATA[When spider webs unite, they can tie up a lion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All that we are is the result of what we have thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16291]]></link><description><![CDATA[All that we are is the result of what we have thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never apologize! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28026]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never apologize!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28026</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9003]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Posterity is as likely to be wrong as anybody else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19538]]></link><description><![CDATA[Posterity is as likely to be wrong as anybody else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Silence is a source of great strength. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56264]]></link><description><![CDATA[Silence is a source of great strength.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56264</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The question is not whether the system works, but whether we like the way it works.
