Sometimes migrating groups of potato-washers meet non-washers, and the two groups watch each other's strange behavior with apparent bewilderment. But unlike the inhabitants of Lilliput, who fought holy crusades over the question at which end to break the egg, the potato-washing monkeys do not go to war with the non-washers, because the poor creatures have no language which would enable them to declare washing a diving commandment and eating unwashed potatoes a deadly heresy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is an immense loss to have all robust and sustaining expletives refined away from one!

If, after all His claims and promises, Christ had died and merely lived on as a fragrant memory, He would only be revered as an extremely good but profoundly mistaken man. His claims to be God, His claims to be Himself the very principle of life, would be mere self-delusion. His authoritative pronouncements on the nature of God and Man and Life would be at once suspect. Why should He be right about the lesser things, if He was proved to be completely wrong in the greater?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The time we enjoy wasting is usually a good indicator of our real values… The best things in life feel ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60361]]></link><description><![CDATA[The time we enjoy wasting is usually a good indicator of our real values… The best things in life feel like we feel when we waste our time!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Honest men esteem and value nothing so much in this world as a real friend.

The Hare, believing her assertion to be simply impossible, assented to the proposal; and they agreed that the Fox should choose the course and fix the goal. On the day appointed for the race the two started together. The Tortoise never for a moment stopped, but went on with a slow but steady pace straight to the end of the course. The Hare, lying down by the wayside, fell fast asleep. At last waking up, and moving as fast as he could, he saw the Tortoise had reached the goal, and was comfortably dozing after her fatigue. Slow but steady wins the race.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gather the flowers, but spare the buds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16277]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gather the flowers, but spare the buds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must think of human progress, not as of something going on in the race in general, but as something ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57004]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must think of human progress, not as of something going on in the race in general, but as something going on in a small minority, perpetually beleaguered in a few walled towns.
