The difference between sex and death is that with death you can do it alone and no one is going to make fun of you. •Woody Allen  At the end of the game the king and the pawn go back in the same box. •Italian Proverb  Life is a great surprise. I don't see why death should not be an even greater one. •Vladimir Nabokov  Dear World, I am leaving because I am bored. I feel I have lived long enough. I am leaving you with your worries in this sweet cesspool. Good luck. •George Sanders, his suicide note  There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval. •Santayana  Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh. •George Bernard Shaw  Do not go gentle into that good night. Old age should burn and rave at close of day. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. •Dylan Thomas  To live is to dream and to die is to awaken. •Anonymous   We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be so at the moment after death. •Nathaniel Hawthorne  All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another. •Anatole France   We are bound to our bodies like an oyster is to its shell. •Plato   Dying is like getting out of a car. You leave a shell behind, but you're the same person as ever. •President Klein  The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy . What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly. •Richard Bach  If there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life. •Albert Camus   We do not know what to do with this short life, yet we yearn for another that will be eternal. •Anatole France  I'm the one who has to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life, the way I want to. •Jimi Hendrix  The real malady is fear of life, not of death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take care of your body with steadfast fidelity.

Does anyone today remember how the emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion? It is said that he had a vision -- saw a cross in the sky with the inscription, "In this sign shalt thou conquer." He accepted the new faith promptly, because he thought it would defeat his enemies for him. That is man's Christianity, a means to earthly triumph. And in our present crisis we are appealing to it to defeat the Russians for us. We hear of the life-and-death struggle between Christianity and Communism, the necessity of "keeping God alive as a social force" -- as if our Lord could not survive a Soviet victory! It is a poor sort of faith that imagines Christ defeated by anything men can do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Show me a woman who doesn't feel guilty, and I'll show you a man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59028]]></link><description><![CDATA[Show me a woman who doesn't feel guilty, and I'll show you a man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The speed on the water feels like 200 miles per hour. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29294]]></link><description><![CDATA[The speed on the water feels like 200 miles per hour.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're in a giant car heading towards a brick wall and everyones arguing over where they're going to sit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13994]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're in a giant car heading towards a brick wall and everyones arguing over where they're going to sit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Earnings are driving the testing of the top end for the S&P 500, but geopolitical issues are here to stay ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38862]]></link><description><![CDATA[Earnings are driving the testing of the top end for the S&P 500, but geopolitical issues are here to stay for some time.
