Their feet, however, became so smeared with the honey that they could not use their wings, nor release themselves, and were suffocated. Just as they were expiring, they exclaimed, O foolish creatures that we are, for the sake of a little pleasure we have destroyed ourselves. Pleasure bought with pains, hurts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm a high school student and this is from a poem I wrote called Sometimes He Wonders.

You may split it into different parts if you'd like - right now I'll put it as Unsorted. And He feels so incredibly weak when he has ferociously quarreled against them since his genuine years and has lost. His hopes for a better understanding dissipate as he grows older, and his mind grows less eager to reach a verdict. Having no sense of direction, he roams here, looking above, asking futile questions, even though the answers may be feared. Good by nature, he has learned his survival skills, which will lead him into the real world, and will someday make him a successful individual. Wishing the pressure did not exist, it is a natural instinct to adapt and not to recluse. He rather is a mindless drone than a lonely Hermit, after all. He has no control over his environment, it is the exact opposite. Molded and shaped by his surroundings, he seeks about for himself and his purpose, while this mold slowly deteriorates organic matter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How noble the law, in its majestic equality, that both the rich and poor are equally prohibited from peeing in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24294]]></link><description><![CDATA[How noble the law, in its majestic equality, that both the rich and poor are equally prohibited from peeing in the streets, sleeping under bridges, and stealing bread!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hispanics tend to use radio very frequently.

The mystic soul may impatiently think so, but the moral soul finds such mediation the way to reality; and the mystic experience is not quite trustworthy about reality. The pagan gods had no mediators, because they were not real or good gods; but the living God has a living Revealer. To know the living God is to know Christ; to know Christ is to know the living God. We do not know God by Christ but in Him. We find God when we find Christ; and in Christ alone we know and share his final purpose. Our last knowledge is not the contact of our person with a thing or a thought; it is intercourse of person and person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are hoarding potentials so great that they are just aboutunimaginable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21856]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are hoarding potentials so great that they are just aboutunimaginable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trust not the physician; His antidotes are poison, and he slays  More than you rob. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26720]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trust not the physician; His antidotes are poison, and he slays  More than you rob.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make food a very incidental part of your life by filling your life sofull of meaningful things that you'll hardly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21157]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make food a very incidental part of your life by filling your life sofull of meaningful things that you'll hardly have time to think aboutfood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must become the change we want to see. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5488]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must become the change we want to see.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Worldly fame is but a breath of wind that blows now this way, and now that, and changes name as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32664]]></link><description><![CDATA[Worldly fame is but a breath of wind that blows now this way, and now that, and changes name as it changes direction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be in the company, you not only have to be an incredible performer, but you have to be able ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35502]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be in the company, you not only have to be an incredible performer, but you have to be able to-and like to-teach kids.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was walking down the street with my friend and he said 'I hear music,' as though there's any other ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55124]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was walking down the street with my friend and he said 'I hear music,' as though there's any other way to take it in.
