They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard; Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. -As You Like It. Act ii. Sc. 7.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The common people of America display a quality of good common sense which is heartening to anyone who believes in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1298]]></link><description><![CDATA[The common people of America display a quality of good common sense which is heartening to anyone who believes in the democratic process.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who will live above his present circumstances, is in great danger of soon living beneath them; or as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39150]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who will live above his present circumstances, is in great danger of soon living beneath them; or as the Italian proverb says, "The man that lives by hope, will die by despair]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know the Golden League has existed for many years now but this is the year when I can do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31809]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know the Golden League has existed for many years now but this is the year when I can do it,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8362]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8362</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the same man to be an heretick and a good subject, is incompossible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49251]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the same man to be an heretick and a good subject, is incompossible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Isn't it strange?

It tends to imply that the objection is to the attendant dangers and not to the thing itself. But if sexual intercourse before and outside marriage is against the teaching of Jesus, then the thing is not only dangerous, it is wrong in itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody really knew how this would be received in Israel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32428]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody really knew how this would be received in Israel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18762]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opportunities multiply as they are seized, they die when neglected. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21322]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opportunities multiply as they are seized, they die when neglected.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some say there is no God...that we are squatting tenantsin the hostile house ofan absent slumlord. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15039]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some say there is no God...that we are squatting tenantsin the hostile house ofan absent slumlord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I distrust those sentiments that are too far removed from nature, and whose sublimity is blended with ridicule; which two ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54215]]></link><description><![CDATA[I distrust those sentiments that are too far removed from nature, and whose sublimity is blended with ridicule; which two are as near one another as extreme wisdom and folly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women should be obscene and not heard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59791]]></link><description><![CDATA[Women should be obscene and not heard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48675]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It turns out that an eerie type of chaos can lurk just behind a facade of order - and yet, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5605]]></link><description><![CDATA[It turns out that an eerie type of chaos can lurk just behind a facade of order - and yet, deep inside the chaos lurks an even eerier type of order]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than in bad company. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52635]]></link><description><![CDATA[Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than in bad company.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History doesn't repeat itself - at best it sometimes rhymes ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19305]]></link><description><![CDATA[History doesn't repeat itself - at best it sometimes rhymes]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women are never disarmed by compliments.
