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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't like something, change it.

You can find positive signs or you can find negative signs. How you evaluate them depends on something that happened in your life recently or something like that. There's no objective way to do it. The important thing is you try to commit yourself to making the positive signs more real. Suppose you felt that there's 99 percent of a probability that human civilization is going to be destroyed in the next hundred years, but one percent chance it won't be, and that one percent offers some opportunities to do something. Well, you commit yourself to that one percent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Questions are never indiscreet: answers sometimes are ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52730]]></link><description><![CDATA[Questions are never indiscreet: answers sometimes are]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Contented wi' little, and cantie wi' mair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9937]]></link><description><![CDATA[Contented wi' little, and cantie wi' mair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9937</guid></item></channel></rss>
