With the exception of the book of Daniel, which the Jews themselves never classed among the prophecies, and an obscure text of Jeremiah, there is not a passage in all the Old Testament which favours the notion of a temporal Messiah. What moral object was there, for which such a Messiah should come? What could he have been but a sort of virtuous Napoleon?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Boston Globe is just struggling mightily.

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[A cheerful heart is good medicine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18936]]></link><description><![CDATA[A cheerful heart is good medicine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18936</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That man never grows old who keeps a child in his heart ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1704]]></link><description><![CDATA[That man never grows old who keeps a child in his heart]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Employers recognize that the value in tying awards to performance, as opposed to the holidays, better connects employees to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39796]]></link><description><![CDATA[Employers recognize that the value in tying awards to performance, as opposed to the holidays, better connects employees to the company's goals and objectives, eliminates 'entitlement' issues, and leads to increased productivity and improved business results.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fame usually comes to those who are thinking about something else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15127]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fame usually comes to those who are thinking about something else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15127</guid></item></channel></rss>
