An Ant passed by,bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to thenest.Why not come and chat with me, said the Grasshopper,instead of toiling and moiling in that way?I am helping to lay up food for the winter, said the Ant,and recommend you to do the same.Why bother about winter? said the Grasshopper; we have gotplenty of food at present. But the Ant went on its way andcontinued its toil. When the winter came the Grasshopper had nofood and found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the antsdistributing every day corn and grain from the stores they hadcollected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew:It is best to prepare for the days of necessity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man who has nothing can whistle in a robber's face ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59069]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man who has nothing can whistle in a robber's face]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The great crimes of the twentieth century were committed not by money-grubbing capitalists but by dedicated idealists.

It wears us out by multiplying distractions and beats us down destroying our solitude, where otherwise we might drink and renew our strength, before going out to face the world again. "The thoughtful soul to solitude retires," said the poet of other and quieter times; but where is the solitude to which we can retire today? "Commune with your own heart upon your bed and be still," is a wise and healing counsel; but how can it be followed in this day of the newspaper, the telephone, the radio and television? These modern playthings, like pet tiger cubs, have grown so large and dangerous that they threaten to devour us all. What was intended to be a blessing has become a positive curse. No spot is now safe from the world's intrusion. The need for solitude and quietness was never greater than it is today. What the world will do about it is their problem. Apparently the masses want it the way it is, and the majority of Christians are so completely conformed to this present age that they, too, want things the way they are. They may be annoyed a bit by the clamor and by the goldfish-bowl existence they live, but apparently they are not annoyed enough to do anything about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The castled crag of Drachenfels, Frowns o'er the wide and winding Rhine,  Whose breast of waters broadly swells  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54189]]></link><description><![CDATA[The castled crag of Drachenfels, Frowns o'er the wide and winding Rhine,  Whose breast of waters broadly swells   Between the banks which bear the vine,    And hills all rich with blossom'd trees,     And fields which promise corn and wine,      And scatter'd cities crowning these,       Whose far white walls along them shine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's a strong, good-sized kid.

He doesn't come down easily. But we don't give him the ball a lot inside for 2-3 yard dive plays. We prefer giving him the ball off-tackle where he can get into the open field.

He taught that God, as the great feudal superior of the universe, allotted to all earthly authorities their rule in fief as subject to Himself. The priesthood was not an office of dominion, but of service, and its prerogatives ceased when service was not rendered. Dominion was not granted to one person as God's Vicar on earth, but the King was as much God's Vicar as the Pope; nay, every Christian held his rights immediately of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yes I know of James Clerk Maxwell, ...
