The minute a man reaches thirty thousand feet, he immediately becomes consumed by distasteful sexual fantasies which involve doing uncomfortable things in those tiny toilets.

One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and concealed himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the Bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and feigned the appearance of death as much as he could. The Bear soon left him, for it is said he will not touch a dead body. When he was quite gone, the other Traveler descended from the tree, and jocularly inquired of his friend what it was the Bear had whispered in his ear. He gave me this advice, his companion replied. Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger. Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love's mysteries in souls do grow, But yet the body is his book. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4440]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love's mysteries in souls do grow, But yet the body is his book.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I heard the little bird say so. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17891]]></link><description><![CDATA[I heard the little bird say so.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without doubt, machinery has greatly increased the number of well-to-do idlers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64448]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without doubt, machinery has greatly increased the number of well-to-do idlers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3013]]></link><description><![CDATA[The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The miserable have no other medicine, But only hope. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42776]]></link><description><![CDATA[The miserable have no other medicine, But only hope.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The very mudsills of society. . . .

The various members belong organically to each other in Christ, and are to exhibit that harmony practically in their common life. The recognition of how they differ from each other, and are yet one, is to enrich their worship, inspire their ministry, and quicken their love. To divide the local church is... to witness to a divided Christ, or to a discipleship to lesser masters than Christ, such as Paul or Apollos. Both implications are equally unthinkable. There is no New Testament pattern of serving the one Christ, except in one local body, formed by the incorporation given in the one baptism, and the continued life sustained by breaking and sharing the one bread.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unlike some politicians, I can admit to a mistake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66440]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unlike some politicians, I can admit to a mistake.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever a man does a thoroughly stupid thing, it is always from the noblest motives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64239]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever a man does a thoroughly stupid thing, it is always from the noblest motives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh the nerves, the nerves; the mysteries of this machine called man!
