He returned to his den, and lying down there, pretended to be sick, taking care that his sickness should be publicly known. The beasts expressed their sorrow, and came one by one to his den, where the Lion devoured them.

I am very middling, replied the Lion, but why do you stand without? Pray enter within to talk with me. No, thank you, said the Fox. I notice that there are many prints of feet entering your cave, but I see no trace of any returning. He is wise who is warned by the misfortunes of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we judge or criticize another person, it says nothing about that person; it merely says something about our own ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10720]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we judge or criticize another person, it says nothing about that person; it merely says something about our own need to be critical.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm really grateful we were able to get the grant.
