The Lion agreed to assist the Wild Ass with his strength, while the Wild Ass gave the Lion the benefit of his greater speed. When they had taken as many beasts as their necessities required, the Lion undertook to distribute the prey, and for this purpose divided it into three shares. I will take the first share, he said, because I am King: and the second share, as a partner with you in the chase: and the third share (believe me) will be a source of great evil to you, unless you willingly resign it to me, and set off as fast as you can. Might makes right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had to either prevent or slow down their counters by keeping our front court active and making them play ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30492]]></link><description><![CDATA[We had to either prevent or slow down their counters by keeping our front court active and making them play defense.

It is no use passing judgments and making scapegoats of this or that individual statesman or group of statesmen. Idealists make a great mistake in not facing the real facts sincerely and resolutely. They believe in the power of the spirit, in the goodness which is at the heart of things, in the triumph which is in store for the great moral ideals of the race. But this great faith only too often leads to an optimism which is sadly and fatally at variance with actual results. It is the realist and not the idealist who is generally justified by events. We forget that the human spirit, the spirit of goodness and truth in the world, is still only an infant crying in the night, and that the struggle with darkness is as yet mostly an unequal struggle. . . . Paris proved this terrible truth once more. It was not Wilson who failed there, but humanity itself. It was not the statesmen that failed, so much as the spirit of the peoples behind them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give me a kisse, and to that kisse a score; Then to that twenty, adde a hundred more;  A ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23835]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give me a kisse, and to that kisse a score; Then to that twenty, adde a hundred more;  A thousand to that hundred; so kiss on,   To make that thousand up a million;    Treble that million, and when that is done,     Let's kisse afresh, as when we first begun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Roche is providing innovation.

There had been days when he had been too hectoring or domineering -- so, at least, these impossible people had said, though he himself denied it still. At all events, protesting to Rome, they had won the Emperor's ear, and humbled their governor. And that must not happen again. Ah, me! Is not this life of ours a fearsome thing? Take care! take care! for if you sin that sin, be sure that somehow you will pay for it -- and, it may be, at how hideous a price! So Pilate found in his day; so you, too, will find it in ours... Only God knows what may come out of that, if you should give way to it. Pilate was curt and domineering to the Jews one day. And it was because of that, months later, his unwilling hands set up the cross of Christ: unwilling -- but they did it. Take you care! for sin is very merciless. If you have had the sweet, [sin] will see to it that you quaff the bitter to the very dregs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Vincent de Paul, Founder of the Congregation of the Mission (Lazarists), 1660  If I mistake, He will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8192]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Vincent de Paul, Founder of the Congregation of the Mission (Lazarists), 1660  If I mistake, He will forgive me.
