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[In dog years, I'm dead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12683]]></link><description><![CDATA[In dog years, I'm dead.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our environmental problems originate in the hubris of imagining ourselves as the central nervous system or the brain of nature. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13990]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our environmental problems originate in the hubris of imagining ourselves as the central nervous system or the brain of nature.

But if Christ is amongst us, then it is necessary that we sometimes yield up our own opinion for the sake of peace. Who is so wise as to have a perfect knowledge of all things? Therefore trust not too much to thine own opinion, but be ready also to hear the opinion of others.
