									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>A bird in hand is better than two in a bush</b>. Some more proverbs:</p>
</p>
<ul>
<li><i>A cat in mittens won&#8217;t catch mice</i></li>
<li><i>To live with wolves you have to howl like one</i></li>
</ul>
<p>And now I might add some emojis: &#x1f355;&#x270a; </p>
<p>and maybe a quote:</p>
<blockquote><p><b>When elephants fight, it&#8217;s the grass that get&#8217;s hurt </b>&lt;&#8211; is this a quote too? bit tempermental!</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><i></p>
<p>I&#8217;m having trouble with the quote function&#8230;I can&#8217;t&hellip;</p>
