From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,  Much pleasure, then from thee much more, must flow,  And soonest our best men with thee do go,  Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery. Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men, And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,  And poppy, or charms, can make us sleep as well,  And better than thy stroke. Why swell'st thou then? One short sleep past, we wake eternally,  And Death shall be no more: Death, thou shalt die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The novelties of one generation are only the resuscitated fashions of the generation before last. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15351]]></link><description><![CDATA[The novelties of one generation are only the resuscitated fashions of the generation before last.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remarriage: A triumph of hope over experience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59027]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remarriage: A triumph of hope over experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True thanksgiving means that we need to thank God for what He has done for us, and not to tell ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18187]]></link><description><![CDATA[True thanksgiving means that we need to thank God for what He has done for us, and not to tell Him what we have done for Him. -.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If all our misfortunes were laid in one common heap, whence everyone must take an equal portion, most people would ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1489]]></link><description><![CDATA[If all our misfortunes were laid in one common heap, whence everyone must take an equal portion, most people would be content to take their own and depart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the world who knowes not to swimme, goes to the bottome. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49551]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the world who knowes not to swimme, goes to the bottome.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God's delays are not God's denials. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21624]]></link><description><![CDATA[God's delays are not God's denials.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Twere sweet to sink in death for Truth and Freedom! Yes, who would hesitate, for who could bear  The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45800]]></link><description><![CDATA['Twere sweet to sink in death for Truth and Freedom! Yes, who would hesitate, for who could bear  The living degradation we may know   If we do dread death for a sacred cause?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No pressure, no diamonds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1050]]></link><description><![CDATA[No pressure, no diamonds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An understanding of the natural world and what's in it is a source of not only a great curiosity but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33237]]></link><description><![CDATA[An understanding of the natural world and what's in it is a source of not only a great curiosity but great fulfillment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The king himself has follow'd her When she has walk'd before. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/609]]></link><description><![CDATA[The king himself has follow'd her When she has walk'd before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Annunciation of our Lord to the Blessed Virgin Mary  The fall was simply this, that some ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6878]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Annunciation of our Lord to the Blessed Virgin Mary  The fall was simply this, that some creature -- that is, something which is not God -- took His place with man; and man, trusting the creature more than God, walked in its light -- or darkness -- rather than in fellowship with God. Righteousness comes back when man by faith is brought to walk with God again, and to give Him His true place by acting or being acted upon in all things according to His will. Anything, therefore, not of faith is sin. And all such sin is bondage. Self-will is bondage, for self-will or independence of God means dependence on a creature; and we cannot be dependent on a creature, be it what it may, without (more or less) becoming subject to it. What has not been given up for money, or for some creature's love? But who has ever thus served the creature more than the Creator without waking at last to feel he is a bondman? I say nothing of the worse bondage which comes from our self-will, in the indulgence of our own thoughts, or passions, or affections. Even the very energies of faith, while, as yet unchastened, it acts from self, ... may only bring forth more bondage... Who but God can set men free? And He sets them free as they walk with Him. All independence of Him is darkness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Football is an incredible game.
