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[It's actually fairly critical that we have a definitive time frame, because as we move into the Christmas season, a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38727]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's actually fairly critical that we have a definitive time frame, because as we move into the Christmas season, a number of hotels have reservations and bookings.

It is inconceivable that the things that are of utmost importance to each individual should not be spoken by one to another. It is unchristian consciously to deprive another of the one decisive service we can render to him...   The more we learn to allow others to speak the Word to us, to accept humbly and gratefully even severe reproaches and admonitions, the more free and objective will we be in speaking ourselves. The humble person will stick to truth and love. He will stick to the Word of God and let it lead him to his brother...   Reproof is unavoidable. God's Word demands it when a brother falls into open sin. Where defection from God's Word in doctrine or life imperils the fellowship... the word of admonition and rebuke must be ventured. Nothing can be more cruel than the tenderness that consigns another to his sin. Nothing can be more compassionate than the severe rebuke that calls a brother back from the path of sin. It is a ministry of mercy, an ultimate offer of genuine fellowship, when we allow nothing but God's Word to stand between us, judging and succoring.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We knew it would rain, for the poplars showed The white of their leaves, the amber grain  Shrunk in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52929]]></link><description><![CDATA[We knew it would rain, for the poplars showed The white of their leaves, the amber grain  Shrunk in the wind,--and the lightning now   Is tangled in tremulous skeins of rain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Age wrinkles the body.

First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The point is plain as a pike staff. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48716]]></link><description><![CDATA[The point is plain as a pike staff.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Golf is very much like a love affair, if you don't take it seriously, it's no fun, if you do, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57756]]></link><description><![CDATA[Golf is very much like a love affair, if you don't take it seriously, it's no fun, if you do, it breaks your heart.
