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[This shows you that people actually can see that he's not just a number --that he was a man with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39479]]></link><description><![CDATA[This shows you that people actually can see that he's not just a number --that he was a man with a family that needs comforting.
