The Ass was left in a stable and had plenty of oats and hay to eat, just as any other Ass would. The Lapdog knew many tricks and was a great favorite with his master, who often fondled him and seldom went out to dine without bringing him home some tidbit to eat. The Ass, on the contrary, had much work to do in grinding the corn-mill and in carrying wood from the forest or burdens from the farm. He often lamented his own hard fate and contrasted it with the luxury and idleness of the Lapdog, till at last one day he broke his cords and halter, and galloped into his master's house, kicking up his heels without measure, and frisking and fawning as well as he could. He next tried to jump about his master as he had seen the Lapdog do, but he broke the table and smashed all the dishes upon it to atoms. He then attempted to lick his master, and jumped upon his back. The servants, hearing the strange hubbub and perceiving the danger of their master, quickly relieved him, and drove out the Ass to his stable with kicks and clubs and cuffs. The Ass, as he returned to his stall beaten nearly to death, thus lamented: I have brought it all on myself! Why could I not have been contented to labor with my companions, and not wish to be idle all the day like that useless little Lapdog!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let me show you, the rhyme..Excuse me - but, Lady Liberty needs glassesand so does Mrs. Justice by her sideBoth ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52966]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let me show you, the rhyme..Excuse me - but, Lady Liberty needs glassesand so does Mrs. Justice by her sideBoth the broads are blind as bats, stumblin through - the systemJustice bumped into M'Tulu, trippin on Geronimo Prattbut stepped right over Oliver and his crooked partner RonnieJustice stubbed her big toe on MandelaAnd Liberty was misquoted by the IndiansSlavery was just a learning phase, forgotten without a verdictwhile Justice is on a rampagefor endangered survivin black malesI mean really; if anyone REALLY valued lifeand cared about the massesThey'd take 'em both to Pen Opticaland get TWO pairs of glassesExcuse me - but, Lady Liberty needs glassesI'm kickin asses up and down New York CityIt's a pityBrothers wanna be grimy and gritty to each otherWhat would your mother think, smotherin your brother?I see you sink, into another levelDancin with the devilTurn up the bass, cause I'm player; also a rhyme sayerKind of fly, layer after layerWhy.. cause I'm blessedCause I've progressedI've learned my lessonsClass has always been in session, so you better take notesAnd stop chokin on negativity]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always count the cost. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27973]]></link><description><![CDATA[Always count the cost.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But silence never shows itself to so great an advantage, as when it is made the reply to calumny and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56268]]></link><description><![CDATA[But silence never shows itself to so great an advantage, as when it is made the reply to calumny and defamation, provided that we give no just occasion for them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52667]]></link><description><![CDATA[Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And circumstance, that unspiritual god, And miscreator, makes and helps along  Our coming evils, with a critch-like rod,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8701]]></link><description><![CDATA[And circumstance, that unspiritual god, And miscreator, makes and helps along  Our coming evils, with a critch-like rod,   Whose touch turns hope to dust--the dust we all have trod.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The very room, coz she was in, Seemed warm f'om floor to ceilin'. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20866]]></link><description><![CDATA[The very room, coz she was in, Seemed warm f'om floor to ceilin'.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not the Government, the members of Parliament to whom the ultimate decision belongs, it is up to you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38541]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not the Government, the members of Parliament to whom the ultimate decision belongs, it is up to you to go forward sure of your sacred right of free opinion, sure of your patriotism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no point in staying around when you can get a bike ride in at the rink.
