Shortly afterwards, finding that he hadheavier loads to carry and harder work in the brick-field, hepetitioned for another change of master. Jupiter, telling himthat it would be the last time that he could grant his request,ordained that he be sold to a tanner. The Ass found that he hadfallen into worse hands, and noting his master's occupation,said, groaning: It would have been better for me to have beeneither starved by the one, or to have been overworked by theother of my former masters, than to have been bought by mypresent owner, who will even after I am dead tan my hide, andmake me useful to him.He that finds discontentment in one place is not likely to find happiness in another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fools build houses, and wise men buy them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16387]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fools build houses, and wise men buy them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She portrayed more knowledge and passion about drug control policy than I had ever imagined one person could know about ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29140]]></link><description><![CDATA[She portrayed more knowledge and passion about drug control policy than I had ever imagined one person could know about any subject.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never weary of great churches.
