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[Rare is the union of beauty and purity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64812]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rare is the union of beauty and purity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The avowed aim of all utopian movements is to put an end to history and to establish a final and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56799]]></link><description><![CDATA[The avowed aim of all utopian movements is to put an end to history and to establish a final and permanent calm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The guilty is he who meditates a crime; the punishment is his who lays the plot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18502]]></link><description><![CDATA[The guilty is he who meditates a crime; the punishment is his who lays the plot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that hath a mouth of his owne, must not say to another; Blow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49345]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that hath a mouth of his owne, must not say to another; Blow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49345</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The city was extremely helpful.

In the end, the first step of obedience proves to be an act of faith in the word of Christ. But we should completely misunderstand the nature of grace if we were to suppose that there was no need to take the first-step, because faith was already there. Against that, we must boldly assert that the step of obedience must be taken before faith can be possible. Unless he obeys, a man cannot believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't go around saying the world owes you a living; the world owes you nothing; it was here first ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62178]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't go around saying the world owes you a living; the world owes you nothing; it was here first]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes the fool who rushes in gets the job done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18794]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes the fool who rushes in gets the job done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abbott's Admonitions: (1) If you have to ask, you're not entitled to know.
