Grieving over his loss, the Father resolved to kill the Snake. The next day, when it came out of its hole for food, he took up his axe, but by swinging too hastily, missed its head and cut off only the end of its tail. After some time the Cottager, afraid that the Snake would bite him also, endeavored to make peace, and placed some bread and salt in the hole. The Snake, slightly hissing, said: There can henceforth be no peace between us; for whenever I see you I shall remember the loss of my tail, and whenever you see me you will be thinking of the death of your son. No one truly forgets injuries in the presence of him who caused the injury.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And now, this is the sweetest and most glorious day that ever my eyes did see. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65052]]></link><description><![CDATA[And now, this is the sweetest and most glorious day that ever my eyes did see.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65052</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yield to temptation; it may not pass your way again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52244]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yield to temptation; it may not pass your way again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52244</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27269]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66078]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The two most abundant things in the universe are Hydrogen and stupidity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46307]]></link><description><![CDATA[The two most abundant things in the universe are Hydrogen and stupidity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46307</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By persistently remaining single a man converts himself into a permanent public temptation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3646]]></link><description><![CDATA[By persistently remaining single a man converts himself into a permanent public temptation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there be no great love in the beginning, yet heaven may decrease it upon better acquaintance, when we are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55348]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there be no great love in the beginning, yet heaven may decrease it upon better acquaintance, when we are married and have more occasion to know one another: I hope, upon familiarity will grow more contempt. -The Merry Wives of Windsor.

Are you willing to be made glad that you were wrong when you thought others were wrong?... We may trust God with our past as heartily as with our future. It will not hurt us so long as we do not try to hide things, so long as we are ready to bow our heads in hearty shame where it is fit that we should be ashamed. For to be ashamed is a holy and blessed thing. Shame is a thing to shame only those who want to appear, not those who want to be. Shame is to shame those who want to pass their examination, not those who would get into the heart of things... To be humbly ashamed is to be plunged in the cleansing bath of truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was put in the Air Corps.

Male sexuality is, by definition, intensely and rigidly phallic. A man's identity is located in his conception of himself as the possessor of a phallus; a man's worth is located in his pride in phallic identity. The main characteristic of phallic identity is that worth is entirely contingent on the possession of a phallus. Since men have no other criteria for worth, no other notion of identity, those who do not have phalluses are not recognized as fully human.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So still we glide down to the sea Of fathomless eternity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51100]]></link><description><![CDATA[So still we glide down to the sea Of fathomless eternity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If he be so resolved, I can o'ersway him; for he loves to hear  That unicorns may be betrayed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16170]]></link><description><![CDATA[If he be so resolved, I can o'ersway him; for he loves to hear  That unicorns may be betrayed with trees   And bears with glasses, elephants with holes,    Lions with toils, and men with flatterers,     He says he does, being then most flattered.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time is the Rider that breakes youth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time is the Rider that breakes youth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No great genius is without an admixture of madness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17352]]></link><description><![CDATA[No great genius is without an admixture of madness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Written laws are like spider's webs; they will catch, it is true, the weak and the poor, but would be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29162]]></link><description><![CDATA[Written laws are like spider's webs; they will catch, it is true, the weak and the poor, but would be torn in pieces by the rich and powerful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Honesty has come to mean the privilege of insulting you to your face without expecting redress. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19679]]></link><description><![CDATA[Honesty has come to mean the privilege of insulting you to your face without expecting redress.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O lovers!
