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[To give up your seat in a car to a woman, and tread on your neighbor's foot to get even. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17153]]></link><description><![CDATA[To give up your seat in a car to a woman, and tread on your neighbor's foot to get even.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am a professional.

We merely prevent its leaking out at a certain point, with the likely result that it will leak out at some other point. Thus by denigrating prevailing beliefs and loyalties, the militant man of words unwittingly creates in the disillusioned masses a hunger for faith.
