Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths, Our bruised arms hung up for monuments, Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings, Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front; And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber To the lascivious pleasing of a lute. But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass; I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph; I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, And that so lamely and unfashionable That dogs bark at me as I halt by them,— Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight to pass away the time, Unless to spy my shadow in the sun. -King Richard III. Act i. Sc. 1.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men become old, but they never become good ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1894]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men become old, but they never become good]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I definitely haven't given up my aspirations of being a rock star, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42723]]></link><description><![CDATA[I definitely haven't given up my aspirations of being a rock star,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The kid is unbelievable.

Indeed, materials for a full biography have been withheld from men. The earliest converts were converted by a single historical fact (the Resurrection) and a single theological doctrine (the Redemption) operating on a sense of win which they already had... The "Gospels" came later and were written not to make Christians but to edify Christians already made.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know they have a lot of team speed.

Within the wide bounds of the Christian Church there is abundant scope for the multiplicity of races, languages, and social conditions; room also for separate organizations with different traditions of faith and order, and much diversity of operation. But there is no room for strife or hostility, for pride or selfassertion, for exclusiveness or unkind judgments, nor for that kind of independence which leads men to ignore their fellowship with the great company of believers, the communion of saints. These things are contrary to the revealed will of God, and should be made at once to cease. As these disappear, the outward manifestation of unity will come in such ways as the Spirit of God shall guide.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The melancholy ghosts of dead renown, Whispering faint echoes of the world's applause. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13309]]></link><description><![CDATA[The melancholy ghosts of dead renown, Whispering faint echoes of the world's applause.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dreams are necessary to life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12880]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dreams are necessary to life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ambition is the last refuge of the failure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14940]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ambition is the last refuge of the failure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do you ne'er think what wondrous beings these? Do you ne'er think who made them, and who taught  The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4239]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do you ne'er think what wondrous beings these? Do you ne'er think who made them, and who taught  The dialect they speak, where melodies   Alone are the interpreters of thought?    Whose household words are songs in many keys,     Sweeter than instrument of man e'er caught!   - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Worldly things were of little meaning.
