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[Even if a minefield or the abyss should lie before me, I will march straight ahead without looking back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46164]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even if a minefield or the abyss should lie before me, I will march straight ahead without looking back.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath & Wells, Hymnographer, 1711   The case for inerrancy rests precisely where ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6394]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath & Wells, Hymnographer, 1711   The case for inerrancy rests precisely where it has always rested, namely, on the lordship of Christ and his commission to the prophets and apostles, who were his representatives. Because it rests on Christ and his authority, the question of inerrancy will therefore remain a key doctrine of the evangelical church so long as Christ is Lord. Evangelicals must remember, however, that this basis must be set forth anew for every generation. What was adequate for Gaussen, Pieper, and Warfield is still valuable, but it is not necessarily adequate to serve as the foundation for the thinking of our generation. The case for inerrancy must be made anew with each presentation of the gospel teaching.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They've got more scale and can do something with it, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33219]]></link><description><![CDATA[They've got more scale and can do something with it,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Bearings of this observation lays in the application on it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43095]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Bearings of this observation lays in the application on it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Consider The lilies of the field whose bloom is brief:--  We are as they;   Like them we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43174]]></link><description><![CDATA[Consider The lilies of the field whose bloom is brief:--  We are as they;   Like them we fade away    As doth a leaf.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One suggestion with a spark of truth is worth a hundred repetitions of sound platitudes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53853]]></link><description><![CDATA[One suggestion with a spark of truth is worth a hundred repetitions of sound platitudes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45137]]></link><description><![CDATA[How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We just happened to make the last play.

These are all vilifying distinctions, mortifying preferences, and exclude all ideas of esteem and regard.
