TheChrysalis moved its tail, and thus attracted the attention of the Ant,who then saw for the first time that it was alive. Poor, pitiableanimal! cried the Ant disdainfully. What a sad fate is yours!While I can run hither and thither, at my pleasure, and, if I wish,ascend the tallest tree, you lie imprisoned here in your shell, withpower only to move a joint or two of your scaly tail. The Chrysalisheard all this, but did not try to make any reply. A few days after,when the Ant passed that way again, nothing but the shell remained.Wondering what had become of its contents, he felt himself suddenlyshaded and fanned by the gorgeous wings of a beautiful Butterfly.Behold in me, said the Butterfly, your much-pitied friend! Boastnow of your powers to run and climb as long as you can get me tolisten. So saying, the Butterfly rose in the air, and, borne alongand aloft on the summer breeze, was soon lost to the sight of theAnt forever.Appearances are deceptive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absence - that common cure of love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/137]]></link><description><![CDATA[Absence - that common cure of love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Willibrord of York, Archbishop of Utrecht, Apostle of Frisia, 739  Other sins find their vent in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8458]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Willibrord of York, Archbishop of Utrecht, Apostle of Frisia, 739  Other sins find their vent in the accomplishment of evil deeds, whereas pride lies in wait for good deeds, to destroy them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[GodWhen I was alone, and had nothingI asked for a friend to help me bear the painNo one came, except ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52962]]></link><description><![CDATA[GodWhen I was alone, and had nothingI asked for a friend to help me bear the painNo one came, except GodWhen I needed a breath to rise, from my sleepNo one could help me.. except GodWhen all I saw was sadness, and I needed answersNo one heard me, except GodSo when I'm asked.. who I give my unconditional love to?I look for no other name, except God]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger is a symptom, a way of cloaking and expressing feelings too awful to experience directly — hurt, bitterness, grief, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2572]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger is a symptom, a way of cloaking and expressing feelings too awful to experience directly — hurt, bitterness, grief, and, mostof all, fear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Companies are beginning to realize there's money to be made in marketing to our age group. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40900]]></link><description><![CDATA[Companies are beginning to realize there's money to be made in marketing to our age group.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40900</guid></item></channel></rss>
