The vanquished Cock skulked away and hid himself in a quiet corner, while the conqueror, flying up to a high wall, flapped his wings and crowed exultingly with all his might. An Eagle sailing through the air pounced upon him and carried him off in his talons. The vanquished Cock immediately came out of his corner, and ruled henceforth with undisputed mastery. Pride goes before destruction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have a blue print for how to make a national or state fund work after the success of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39196]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have a blue print for how to make a national or state fund work after the success of the Florida catastrophe fund.

You would be surprised if you knew how soon one begins to feel the shortness of the tether: of how many things, even in middle life, we have to say, "No time for that", "Too late now" and "Not for me". But Nature herself forbids you [young people] to share that experience. A more Christian attitude, which can be attained at any age, is that of leaving futurity in God's hands. We may as well, for God will certainly retain it whether we leave it to Him or not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No doubt.

Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths, Our bruised arms hung up for monuments, Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings, Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front; And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber To the lascivious pleasing of a lute. But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass; I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph; I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, And that so lamely and unfashionable That dogs bark at me as I halt by them,— Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight to pass away the time, Unless to spy my shadow in the sun. -King Richard III. Act i. Sc. 1.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have oftener than once endeavoured to attach some meaning to that aphorism, vulgarly imputed to Shaftesbury, which however we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54209]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have oftener than once endeavoured to attach some meaning to that aphorism, vulgarly imputed to Shaftesbury, which however we can find nowhere in his works, that "ridicule is the test of truth."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Proverbs like the sacred books of each nation, are the sanctuary of the intuitions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51896]]></link><description><![CDATA[Proverbs like the sacred books of each nation, are the sanctuary of the intuitions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46565]]></link><description><![CDATA[Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited and the wealth and confusion man has created.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And each blasphemer quite escape the rod, Because the insult's not on man, but God? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58473]]></link><description><![CDATA[And each blasphemer quite escape the rod, Because the insult's not on man, but God?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Persecution is the first law of society because it is always easier to suppress criticism than to meet it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46145]]></link><description><![CDATA[Persecution is the first law of society because it is always easier to suppress criticism than to meet it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel that the greatest reward for doing is the opportunity to do more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/358]]></link><description><![CDATA[I feel that the greatest reward for doing is the opportunity to do more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear less, hope more; Eat less, chew more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Love more, and all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47744]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear less, hope more; Eat less, chew more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Love more, and all good things will be yours]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47744</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38410]]></link><description><![CDATA[If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have always enjoyed learning, and we accomplish a lot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36432]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have always enjoyed learning, and we accomplish a lot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There, Shakespeare, on whose forehead climb The crowns o' the world.
