I have watched my crowds dwindle. I am going nowhere, and nowhere quick, but, those of you who have children, I am sorry to tell you this, but they are not special. Wait! I know some of you are going "what, what?" Let me just clarify: I know YOU think they're special ... ha ha ha! I'm aware of that. I'm just here to tell you, that they're NOT! Ha ha ha ha! Sorry. Did you know that every time a guy comes he comes two-hundred million sperm? One out of TWO-HUNDRED MILLION – that load, we're only talking about one load – connected: gee, what are the fucking odds? Do you know what that means? I've wiped nations off've my chest with a grey gymsock. ENTIRE CIVILISATIONS HAVE FLAKED AND CRUSTED IN THE HAIR AROUND MY NAVEL! [...] I've tossed universes in my underpants while napping. Boom! A Milkyway shoots into my jockeyshorts: "Unngh ... what's for fucking breakfast?!"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's money?

The faith that limits itself to the promises of God seems to me to partake of the paltry character of such a faith in my child -- good enough for a Pagan, but for a Christian a miserable and wretched faith. Those who rest in such a faith would feel yet more comfortable if they had God's bond instead of His word, which they regard not as the outcome of His character but as a pledge of His honour. They try to believe in the truth of His word, but the truth of His Being they understand not. In His oath they persuade themselves that they put confidence: in himself they do not believe, for they know Him not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature is a revelation of God; Art is a revelation of man ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43762]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature is a revelation of God; Art is a revelation of man]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He lives who dies to win a lasting name. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43646]]></link><description><![CDATA[He lives who dies to win a lasting name.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As she hearsthe confessionsof all riversthose on the shorehear the sea..accepting allshe calls no thingheresy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4014]]></link><description><![CDATA[As she hearsthe confessionsof all riversthose on the shorehear the sea..accepting allshe calls no thingheresy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Superfluity comes sooner by white hairs, but competency lives longer. -The Merchant of Venice.

But I loved them better and better -- and still I knew how little was my love for them compared to Christ's. It is easy enough for a man to be honest and a "Good Christian" and keeper of "the moral law", when he has his own little room, his purse well filled -- when he is well shod and well fed. It is far less easy for a man who has to live from day to day, roaming from city to city, from factory to factory. It is far less easy for someone just out of jail, with nothing to wear but old down-at-the-heels shoes and a shirt in rags. All of a sudden, I understood our Lord's words: "I was in prison ... and you visited me not." All these men, lazy, outside the law, starving: these failures of all kinds -- they were dear to Christ -- they were Christ, waiting in prison for someone to lean over Him -- and if we were true Christians, we would do them every kindness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The alligator's popular.
