A Fox, envying him the honor, discovered a piece of meat lying in a trap, and leading the Monkey to the place where it was, said that she had found a store, but had not used it, she had kept it for him as treasure trove of his kingdom, and counseled him to lay hold of it. The Monkey approached carelessly and was caught in the trap; and on his accusing the Fox of purposely leading him into the snare, she replied, O Monkey, and are you, with such a mind as yours, going to be King over the Beasts?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most overlooked advantage to owning a computer is that if they foul up, there's no law against whacking them ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9530]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most overlooked advantage to owning a computer is that if they foul up, there's no law against whacking them around a little.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is an inexorable Law of Nature that bad must follow good, that decline must follow a rise.

Your faith is something everyone knows, for everyone knows that Christ was [crucified], and that everywhere men pray to Him. The whole world knows that His glory has not been spread by force and weapons, but by poor fishermen. 0 wise man, do you think the poor fishermen were not clever enough for this? Where they worked, there they made hearts better; where they could not work, there men remained bad; and therefore was the faith true and from God. The signs which the Lord had promised followed their teaching: in His name they drove out the devil; they spoke in new tongues; if they drank any deadly drink, they received therefrom no harm. Even if these wonders had not occurred, there would have been the wonder of wonders, that poor fishermen without any miracle could accomplish so great a work as the faith. It came from God, and so is Christ true, and Christ is thy God, who is in heaven and awaits thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Method is not less requisite in ordinary conversation than in writing, provided a man would talk to make himself understood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10083]]></link><description><![CDATA[Method is not less requisite in ordinary conversation than in writing, provided a man would talk to make himself understood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a great event to get outside and enjoy nature.

They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard; Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. -As You Like It. Act ii. Sc. 7.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The happiness of the domestic fireside is the first boon of Heaven; and it is well it is so, since ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63267]]></link><description><![CDATA[The happiness of the domestic fireside is the first boon of Heaven; and it is well it is so, since it is that which is the lot of the mass of mankind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Business Objects is known for the excellence of both its business intelligence applications and its exceptional customer support organization.

When summarized in a few neat words or phrases, these gems of wisdom become substitutes for thought, and gradually take on much of the status of revealed truth. Occasionally, some iconoclast sees fit to challenge one of them, and a brief flurry ensues, after which things go on about as before. It is easy to think of plenty of ideas that are passing, if they have not already passed, beyond the stage of effective discussion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can't talk religion to a man with bodily hunger in his eyes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20165]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can't talk religion to a man with bodily hunger in his eyes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They say life's what happens when you're busy making other plans.

Every principle of selection, every separation connected with it that is not necessitated quite objectively by common work, local conditions, or family connections is of the greatest danger to a Christian community. When the way of intellectual or spiritual selection is taken, the human element always insinuates itself and robs the fellowship of its spiritual power and its effectiveness for the Church, and drives it into sectarianism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cowslips tall her pensioners be. In their gold coats spots you see:  Those be rubies, fairy favors;  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10543]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cowslips tall her pensioners be. In their gold coats spots you see:  Those be rubies, fairy favors;   In those freckles live their savors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pray to God, but hammer away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53548]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pray to God, but hammer away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The earth and its resources belong of right to its people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13127]]></link><description><![CDATA[The earth and its resources belong of right to its people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are talking about a horrendous terrorist attack. ...
