How many inventions are some people forced to have recourse to in order to keep off a certain inward uneasiness, which they are afraid of and know not whence it comes?

But Man having induced death upon himself, God hath taken Man's Creature, death, into his hand, and mended it, and whereas it hath in itself a fearfull form and aspect, so that Man is afraid of his own Creature, God presents it to him, in a familiar, in an assiduous, in an agreeable and acceptable form, in sleep, that so when he awakes from sleep and says to himself, shall I be no otherwise when I am dead, than I was even now, when I was asleep, he may be ashamed of his waking dreams, and of his Melancholique fancying out a horrid and an affrightful figure of that death which is so like sleep. As then we need sleep to live out our threescore and ten years, so we need death, to live that life which we cannot out-live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first half of our life is ruined by our parents and the second half by our children ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45497]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first half of our life is ruined by our parents and the second half by our children]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are more important things in life than winning or losing a game. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66367]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are more important things in life than winning or losing a game.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fear of infinity is a form of myopia that destroys the possibility of seeing the actual infinite, even though ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20817]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fear of infinity is a form of myopia that destroys the possibility of seeing the actual infinite, even though it in its highest form has created and sustains us, and in its secondary transfinite forms occurs all around us and even inhabits our minds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is as often the outcome of despair as of hope; in the one case we have nothing to lose, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25547]]></link><description><![CDATA[Courage is as often the outcome of despair as of hope; in the one case we have nothing to lose, in the other, everything to gain]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Both of them work very hard on their game.
