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[I could live a week on one good compliment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17211]]></link><description><![CDATA[I could live a week on one good compliment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm excited for Terry (Posey) and those players. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33948]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm excited for Terry (Posey) and those players.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Crispin & Crispinian, Martyrs at Rome, c.285   The word "sinner" often proves a great obstacle to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6288]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Crispin & Crispinian, Martyrs at Rome, c.285   The word "sinner" often proves a great obstacle to understanding, but let us use other words. Let us say that man is the kind of creature who naturally sees the world from a very limited perspective, that he tends to be self-centered and to prefer the interests that are closest to himself and to his own social group. Let us say that man is naturally unwilling to accept his limited or finite status, that he is always seeking to extend his control over others, that he seeks to maintain his own security by means of power over all who may threaten it, that he likes to be in a position to compare himself with others to their disadvantage, that he seeks to be self-sufficient and to deny in effect his dependence upon God and to set up his own group or system or ideal in the place of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each nation feels superior to other nations.
