One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and concealed himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the Bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and feigned the appearance of death as much as he could. The Bear soon left him, for it is said he will not touch a dead body. When he was quite gone, the other Traveler descended from the tree, and jocularly inquired of his friend what it was the Bear had whispered in his ear. He gave me this advice, his companion replied. Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger. Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're not playing hard enough, we're not playing mean enough, and we're not finishing plays.

But if anything of this kind runs all through the course of our life, if we allow ourselves in things that are either vain, foolish, or sensual, we renounce our profession. For as sure as Jesus Christ was wisdom and holiness, as sure as He came to make us like Himself and to be baptized into His Spirit, so sure is it that none can be said to keep to their Christian profession but they who, to the utmost of their power, live a wise and holy and heavenly life. This, and this alone, is Christianity, a universal holiness in every part of life, a heavenly wisdom in all our actions, not conforming to the spirit and temper of the world but turning all worldly enjoyments into means of piety and devotion to God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1883]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being ignorant is not so much a shame as being unwilling to learn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56142]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being ignorant is not so much a shame as being unwilling to learn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She tells enough white lies to ice a wedding cake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41555]]></link><description><![CDATA[She tells enough white lies to ice a wedding cake.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I hear somebody sigh, 'Life is hard,' I am always tempted to ask, 'Compared to what?'. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/844]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I hear somebody sigh, 'Life is hard,' I am always tempted to ask, 'Compared to what?'.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talk unbelief, and you will have unbelief; but talk faith, and you will have faith.
