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[It snows at sea.. quiet.... falls in flakes * melting designs**leave form for All. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5554]]></link><description><![CDATA[It snows at sea.. quiet.... falls in flakes * melting designs**leave form for All.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The overall strategy over the next five years is to gain control of the border. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37281]]></link><description><![CDATA[The overall strategy over the next five years is to gain control of the border.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So fades a summer cloud away; So sinks the gale when storms are o'er;  So gently shuts the eye ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11175]]></link><description><![CDATA[So fades a summer cloud away; So sinks the gale when storms are o'er;  So gently shuts the eye of day;   So dies a wave along the shore.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I maintain the rather old-fashioned view that this is my work and it's in the public arena, but that doesn't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34973]]></link><description><![CDATA[I maintain the rather old-fashioned view that this is my work and it's in the public arena, but that doesn't entitle everyone to know what happened at home before coming here.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We started out slow with our defensive pressure, but we were creating a lot of turnovers, and we shut them ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41981]]></link><description><![CDATA[We started out slow with our defensive pressure, but we were creating a lot of turnovers, and we shut them down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The birds chaunt melody on every bush, The snake lies rolled in the cheerful sun,  The green leaves quiver ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13301]]></link><description><![CDATA[The birds chaunt melody on every bush, The snake lies rolled in the cheerful sun,  The green leaves quiver with the cooling wind,   And make a checkered shadow on the ground;    Under their sweet shade, Aaron, let us sit,     And whilst the babbling echo mocks the hounds,      Replying shrilly to the well-tuned horns,       As if a double hunt were heard at once,        Let us sit down and mark their yellowing noise;         And after conflict such as was supposed          The wand'ring prince and Dido once enjoyed,           When with a happy storm they were surprised,            And curtained with a counsel-keeping cave,             We may, each wreathed in the other's arms,              Our pastimes done, possess a golden slumber,               Whiles hounds and horns and sweet melodious birds                Be unto us as is a nurse's song                 Of lullaby to bring her babe asleep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A dwarf is small even if he stands on a mountain;

Our affections are not ours to be blighted and crucified; they are ours to be deepened and purified. The rich opportunities of life are not held out to us only to be snatched away by an invisible hand patiently waiting for the hour when the cup is sweetest; they are given to us that we may grow, alike through their rise or their withdrawal. They are real, they are sweet, and they are worthy of our longing for them; we gain nothing by calling them dross, or the world an illusion, or ourselves the victims of deception, or by exalting renunciation as the highest virtue. When these opportunities are denied us, it is a real, not an imaginary, loss which we sustain; and our part is not that of bare renunciation, of simple surrender; our part is to recognize the loss, to bear the pain, and to find a deeper and richer life in doing the will of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conscience is a mother-in-law whose visit never ends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9821]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conscience is a mother-in-law whose visit never ends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That men by reason will it calle may The daisie or elles the eye of day  The emperice, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10986]]></link><description><![CDATA[That men by reason will it calle may The daisie or elles the eye of day  The emperice, and floure of floures alle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lucia Pinochet is currently in U.S. Customs and Border Protection custody at Dulles International Airport, pending resolution of her immigration ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37284]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lucia Pinochet is currently in U.S. Customs and Border Protection custody at Dulles International Airport, pending resolution of her immigration status.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was recently on a tour of Latin America,and the only regret I have was that I didn't study Latin ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47073]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was recently on a tour of Latin America,and the only regret I have was that I didn't study Latin harder in school so I could converse with those people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is born to work and prosper and not to rest and rust. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62169]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is born to work and prosper and not to rest and rust.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the division race will come down to the final week. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32878]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the division race will come down to the final week.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between fiction and reality?
