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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A civil guest Will no more talk all, than eat all the feast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18440]]></link><description><![CDATA[A civil guest Will no more talk all, than eat all the feast.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I began wearing hats as a young lawyer because it helped me to establish my professional identity.
