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[He had that nameless charm, with a strong magnetism, which can only be called "It.'' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5778]]></link><description><![CDATA[He had that nameless charm, with a strong magnetism, which can only be called "It.'']]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had rather be a dog and bay the moon Than such a Roman. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54412]]></link><description><![CDATA[I had rather be a dog and bay the moon Than such a Roman.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah, March! we know thou art Kind-hearted, spite of ugly looks and threats,  And, out of sight, art nursing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26366]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah, March! we know thou art Kind-hearted, spite of ugly looks and threats,  And, out of sight, art nursing April's violets!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The chains of habit are generally too small to be felt until they are too strong to be broken. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62866]]></link><description><![CDATA[The chains of habit are generally too small to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah, well, then I suppose I shall have to die beyond my means. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15240]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah, well, then I suppose I shall have to die beyond my means.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christmas is the time when kids tell Santa what they want and adults pay for it.
