This is the state of man: to-day he puts forth The tender leaves of hopes; to-morrow blossoms, And bears his blushing honours thick upon him; The third day comes a frost, a killing frost, And when he thinks, good easy man, full surely His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root, And then he falls, as I do. I have ventured, Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, This many summers in a sea of glory, But far beyond my depth: my high-blown pride At length broke under me and now has left me, Weary and old with service, to the mercy Of a rude stream, that must forever hide me. Vain pomp and glory of this world, I hate ye: I feel my heart new opened. O, how wretched Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favours! There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to, That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, More pangs and fears than wars or women have: And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, Never to hope again. -King Henry VIII. Act iii. Sc. 2.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Winning is the science of being totally prepared.

the thought of his age, we seem to be assuming that the thought of his age was erroneous. When we select for serious consideration those doctrines which "transcend" the thought of his own age and are "for all time", we are assuming that the thought of our age is correct: for of course by thoughts which transcend the great man's age we really mean thoughts that agree with ours. Thus I value Shakespeare's picture of the transformation in old Lear more than I value his views about the divine right of kings, because I agree with Shakespeare that a man can be purified by suffering like Lear, but do not believe that kings (or any other rulers) have divine right in the sense required. When the great man's views do not seem to us erroneous we do not value them the less for having been shared with his contemporaries. Shakespeare's disdain for treachery and Christ's blessing on the poor were not alien to the outlook of their respective periods; but no one wishes to discredit them on that account.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Optimist: A man who gets treed by a lion but enjoys the scenery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45207]]></link><description><![CDATA[Optimist: A man who gets treed by a lion but enjoys the scenery.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that that domain expertise will preclude the MCAD and [product data management] vendors form getting more involved in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40442]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that that domain expertise will preclude the MCAD and [product data management] vendors form getting more involved in this space.
