Jupiter, telling himthat it would be the last time that he could grant his request,ordained that he be sold to a tanner. The Ass found that he hadfallen into worse hands, and noting his master's occupation,said, groaning: It would have been better for me to have beeneither starved by the one, or to have been overworked by theother of my former masters, than to have been bought by mypresent owner, who will even after I am dead tan my hide, andmake me useful to him.He that finds discontentment in one place is not likely to find happiness in another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The truth is perilous never to the true, Nor knowledge to the wise; and to the fool,  And to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14149]]></link><description><![CDATA[The truth is perilous never to the true, Nor knowledge to the wise; and to the fool,  And to the false, error and truth alike,   Error is worse than ignorance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So long as we judge ourselves by human comparisons, there is plenty of room for self-satisfaction, and self-satisfaction kills faith, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7499]]></link><description><![CDATA[So long as we judge ourselves by human comparisons, there is plenty of room for self-satisfaction, and self-satisfaction kills faith, for faith is born of the sense of need.

That bell that you carry is not, believe me, any order of merit, but on the contrary a mark of disgrace, a public notice to all men to avoid you as an ill mannered dog. Notoriety is often mistaken for fame.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The law is a strange thing.
