One of the Apes, who had raised himself to beking, commanded them to be seized and brought before him, that hemight know what was said of him among men. He ordered at thesame time that all the Apes be arranged in a long row on hisright hand and on his left, and that a throne be placed for him,as was the custom among men. After these preparations hesignified that the two men should be brought before him, andgreeted them with this salutation: What sort of a king do I seemto you to be, O strangers?' The Lying Traveler replied, You seemto me a most mighty king. And what is your estimate of thoseyou see around me?' These, he made answer, are worthycompanions of yourself, fit at least to be ambassadors andleaders of armies. The Ape and all his court, gratified with thelie, commanded that a handsome present be given to the flatterer. On this the truthful Traveler thought to himself, If so great areward be given for a lie, with what gift may not I be rewarded,if, according to my custom, I tell the truth?' The Ape quicklyturned to him. And pray how do I and these my friends around meseem to you?' Thou art, he said, a most excellent Ape, and allthese thy companions after thy example are excellent Apes too.The King of the Apes, enraged at hearing these truths, gave himover to the teeth and claws of his companions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's all to do with the training: you can do a lot if you're properly trained. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57620]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's all to do with the training: you can do a lot if you're properly trained.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is more useful than silence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60298]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is more useful than silence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The figure of the enthusiast who has just discovered jogging or a new way to fix tofu can be said ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22503]]></link><description><![CDATA[The figure of the enthusiast who has just discovered jogging or a new way to fix tofu can be said to stand or, more accurately, to tremble on the threshold of conversion, as the representative American.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Observe good faith and justice toward all nations.

If his atlas tells him the world is flat he will not sail near what he believes to be the edge of our planet for fear of falling off. If his maps include a fountain of eternal youth, a Ponce de Leon will go off in quest of it. If someone digs up yellow dirt that looks like gold, he will for a time act exactly as if he has found gold. The way in which the world is imagined determines at any particular moment what men will do. It does not determine what they will achieve.
