Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Singing and rejoicing, As aye since time began,  The dying earth's last poet   Shall be the earth's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46837]]></link><description><![CDATA[Singing and rejoicing, As aye since time began,  The dying earth's last poet   Shall be the earth's last man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well, well, be it so, thou strongest their of all, For thou hast stolen my will, and made it thine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59142]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well, well, be it so, thou strongest their of all, For thou hast stolen my will, and made it thine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rock-bye-baby on the tree top, When the wind blows the cradle will rock.  When the bough bends the cradle ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3624]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rock-bye-baby on the tree top, When the wind blows the cradle will rock.  When the bough bends the cradle will fall,   Down comes the baby, cradle and all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can gain more friends by being yourself than you can by putting up a front.

You can gain more friends by building people up than you can by tearing them down. And you can gain more friends by taking a few minutes from each day to do something kind for someone, whether it be a friend or a complete stranger. What a difference one person can make!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Young in limbs, in judgment old. -The Merchant of Venice. Act ii.
