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[Whatsoever has exceeded its proper limit is in an unstable position. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51211]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatsoever has exceeded its proper limit is in an unstable position.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this world there is always danger for those who are afraid of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11061]]></link><description><![CDATA[In this world there is always danger for those who are afraid of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's getting better every day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40723]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's getting better every day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If Sudan supports us as people say, I do not see what's bad about that. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28742]]></link><description><![CDATA[If Sudan supports us as people say, I do not see what's bad about that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're hoping for a good turnout and looking for some legislative action for the environment.

By individual depravity, I mean my own. I find it out in myself; or, rather, He who searcheth me and trieth my ways, finds it out in me. That sense of depravity implies the recognition of a law from which I have broken loose, of a Divine image which my character has not resembled. It is the law and the order which are universal. It is this character of Christ which is the true human character. It is easy enough to own to a general depravity; under cover of it, you and I would escape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thoughts have power; thoughts are energy.
