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[Maundy Thursday  Commemoration of Frederick Denison Maurice, Priest, teacher, 1872  In the whole range of history there is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6624]]></link><description><![CDATA[Maundy Thursday  Commemoration of Frederick Denison Maurice, Priest, teacher, 1872  In the whole range of history there is no more striking contrast than that of the Apostolic churches with the heathenism around them. They had shortcomings enough, it is true, and divisions and scandals not a few, for even apostolic times were no golden age of purity and primitive simplicity. Yet we can see that their fullness of life, and hope, and promise for the future, were a new sort of power in the world. Within their own limits they had solved almost by the way the social problem which baffled Rome, and baffles Europe still. They had lifted woman to her rightful place, restored the dignity of labour, abolished beggary, and drawn the sting of slavery. The secret of the revolution is that the selfishness of race and class were forgotten in the Supper of the Lord, and a new basis for society found in love of the visible image of God in men for whom Christ died.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Concentrate, play your game, and don't be afraid to win. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29127]]></link><description><![CDATA[Concentrate, play your game, and don't be afraid to win.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It would be pointless.
