He returned to his den, and lying down there, pretended to be sick, taking care that his sickness should be publicly known.

I am very middling, replied the Lion, but why do you stand without? Pray enter within to talk with me. No, thank you, said the Fox. I notice that there are many prints of feet entering your cave, but I see no trace of any returning. He is wise who is warned by the misfortunes of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12471]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The glowworm shows the matin to be near And gins to pale his uneffectual fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17582]]></link><description><![CDATA[The glowworm shows the matin to be near And gins to pale his uneffectual fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He possessed beauty without vanity, strength without insolence; courage without ferocity; and all the virtues of man without his vices ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60489]]></link><description><![CDATA[He possessed beauty without vanity, strength without insolence; courage without ferocity; and all the virtues of man without his vices]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Integrity: A name is the blueprint of the thing we call character.
