The Lion cheerfully assented to the proposal. But when the toothless, clawless Lion returned to repeat his request, the Woodman, no longer afraid, set upon him with his club, and drove him away into the forest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no need to hide the reality from the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34832]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no need to hide the reality from the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think we played bad.
