Societies which have more people carrying out physical acts and fewer people supplying ideas do not have higher standards of living. Quite the contrary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It sounds like they have a backer, and it's always all about the money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34327]]></link><description><![CDATA[It sounds like they have a backer, and it's always all about the money.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11171]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laborin' man an' laborin' woman Hev one glory an' one shame;  Ev'ything thet's done inhuman   Injers all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19958]]></link><description><![CDATA[Laborin' man an' laborin' woman Hev one glory an' one shame;  Ev'ything thet's done inhuman   Injers all on 'em the same.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is a game that two can play and both win. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25868]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is a game that two can play and both win.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The foremost art of kings is the ability to endure hatred. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23807]]></link><description><![CDATA[The foremost art of kings is the ability to endure hatred.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The consequences of our actions take hold of us quite indifferent to our claim that meanwhile we have "improved". ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23682]]></link><description><![CDATA[The consequences of our actions take hold of us quite indifferent to our claim that meanwhile we have "improved".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humanity needs practical men, who get the most out of their work, and, without forgetting the general good, safeguard their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44109]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humanity needs practical men, who get the most out of their work, and, without forgetting the general good, safeguard their own interests.

I promise thee, Christ will not hear their excuse; for He himself suffered harm for our sakes, and for our salvation was put to extreme death. I wis, if it had pleased Him, He might have saved us and never felt pain; but in suffering pains and death He did give us example, and teach us how we should do one for another, as He did for us all; for, as He saith himself, "he that will be mine, let him deny himself, and follow me, in bearing my cross and suffering my pains." Wherefore we must needs suffer pain with Christ to do our neighbor good, as well with the body and all his members, as with heart and mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boldness is ever blind, for it sees not dangers and inconveniences whence it is bad in council though good in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4483]]></link><description><![CDATA[Boldness is ever blind, for it sees not dangers and inconveniences whence it is bad in council though good in execution.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wept o'er his wounds, or tales of sorrow done, Shoulder'd his crutch, and show'd how fields were won. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48989]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wept o'er his wounds, or tales of sorrow done, Shoulder'd his crutch, and show'd how fields were won.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All His glory and beauty come from within, and there He delights to dwell, His visits there are frequent, His ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6132]]></link><description><![CDATA[All His glory and beauty come from within, and there He delights to dwell, His visits there are frequent, His conversation sweet, His comforts refreshing; and His peace passing all understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I couldn't believe it because we have the best record in the county and we were seeded 10th.

It is surely life itself that makes against belief in most cases. It is the contradiction in real life between any image of God as good -- whether God is "above", "beneath", or "within" -- that makes men atheists. Yet how few books and how few sermons touch on this basic problem! Our theological libraries are crammed with books devoted to every aspect of textual and higher criticism of the Bible; but of genuine theological thinking about the things which drive religion from men's hearts, there is appallingly little to be found. The archaeology of Christian origins seems largely to have replaced genuine theology.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I found my students were more successful and were motivated to come to class, ...

There's heart death, there's brain death, and there's being off the network. •Guy Almes   A dying man needs to die, as a sleepy man needs to sleep, and there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless, to resist. •Steward Alsop   I do not believe that any man fears to be dead, but only the stroke of death. •Francis Bacon   When one by one our ties are torn, and friend from friend is snatched forlorn; When man is left alone to mourn, oh! then how sweet it is to die! •Anna Letitia Barbauld   Living is death; dying is life. We are not what we appear to be. On this side of the grave we are exiles, on that citizens; on this side orphans, on that children. •Henry Ward Beecher   Loss and possession, Death and life are one. There falls no shadow where There shines no sun. •Hilaire Belloc   Death is as sure for that which is born, as birth is for that which is dead. Therefore grieve not for what is inevitable. •Bhagavad Gita   How long after you are gone will ripples remain as evidence that you were cast into the pool of life? •Grant M. Bright   No one's death comes to pass without making some impression, and those close to the deceased inherit part of the liberated soul and become richer in their humanness. •Hermann Broch   Though it be in the power of the weakest arm to take away life, it is not in the strongest to deprive us of death. •Sir Thomas Browne   Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely. •Albert Camus   Well, there's a remedy for all things but death, which will be sure to lay us flat one time or other. •Miguel De Cervantes   Death is the liberator of him whom freedom cannot release, the physician of him whom medicine cannot cure, and the comforter of him whom time cannot console. •Charles Caleb Colton   I have wrestled with death. It is the most unexciting contest you can imagine. It takes place in an impalpable grayness, with nothing underfoot, with nothing around, without spectators, without clamor, without glory, without the great desire of victory, without the great fear of defeat. •Joseph Conrad   While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die. •Leonardo Da Vinci   Death be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so. For, those, whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow. Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me. •John Donne   A dead atheist is someone who is all dressed up with no place to go. •James Duffecy   Death is the king of this world: 'Tis his park where he breeds life to feed him. Cries of pain are music for his banquet •George Eliot   Death is the last enemy: once we've got past that I think everything will be alright. •Alice Thomas Ellis   The pride of dying rich raises the loudest laugh in hell. •John W. Foster   Why fear death? It is the most beautiful adventure in life. •Charles Frohman   Plan for this world as if you expect to live forever; but plan for the hereafter as if you expect to die tomorrow. •Ibn Gabirol   Fish die belly upward, and rise to the surface. Its their way of falling. •Andre Gide   Death is the only inescapable, unavoidable, sure thing. We are sentenced to die the day we're born. •Gary Mark Gilmore   Death is a commingling of eternity with time; in the death of a good man, eternity is seen looking through time. •Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe   Man has the possibility of existence after death. But possibility is one thing and the realization of the possibility is quite a different thing. •George Gurdjieff   Oh you who have been removed from God in his solitude by the abyss of time, how can you expect to reach him without dying? •Hallaj   Death is like an arrow that is already in flight, and your life lasts only until it reaches you. •Georg Hermes   The call of death is a call of love. Death can be sweet if we answer it in the affirmative, if we accept it as one of the great eternal forms of life and transformation. •Hermann Hesse   Death is feared as birth is forgotten. •Doug Horton   Ignore death up to the last moment; then, when it can't be ignored any longer, have yourself squirted full of morphia and shuffle off in a coma. Thoroughly sensible, humane and scientific, eh? •Aldous Huxley   In the democracy of the dead all men at last are equal. There is neither rank nor station nor prerogative in the republic of the grave. •John J. Ingalls   We are but tenants and shortly the great landlord will give us notice that our lease has expired. •Joseph Jefferson   It matters not how a man dies, but how he lives. The act of dying is not of importance, it lasts so short a time. •Samuel Johnson   It is hard to have patience with people who say "There is no death" or "Death doesn't matter." There is death. And whatever is matters. And whatever happens has consequences, and it and they are irrevocable and irreversible. You might as well say that birth doesn't matter. •C. S. Lewis   But life is sweet, though all that makes it sweet. Lessen like sound of friends departing feet; And death is beautiful as feet of friend. Coming with welcome at our journey's end. •James Russell Lowell   Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying. •Martin Luther   There is no such thing as death. In nature nothing dies. From each sad remnant of decay, some forms of life arise so shall his life be taken away before he knoweth that he hath it. •Charles Mackay   We begin to die as soon as we are born, and the end is linked to the beginning. •Marcus Manilius   There is no death. the stars go down to rise upon some other shore. And bright in Heaven's jeweled crown, they shine for ever more. •John Luckey McCreery   At birth man is offered only one choice -- the choice of his death. But if this choice is governed by distaste for his own existence, his life will never have been more than meaningless. •Jean-Pierre Melville   Death is delightful. Death is dawn, the waking from a weary night of fevers unto truth and light. •Joaquin Miller   Men fear death, as if unquestionably the greatest evil, and yet no man knows that it may not be the greatest good. •William Mitford   We should weep for men at their birth, not at their death. •Charles De Montesquieu   I hate funerals and would not attend my own if it could be avoided, but it is well for every man to stop once in a while to think of what sort of a collection of mourners he is training for his final event. •Robert T. Morris   One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. •Friedrich Nietzsche   Life is a dream walking; death is a going home. •Chinese Proverb   Every man goes down to his death bearing in his hands only that which he has given away. •Persian Proverb   Death gives us sleep, eternal youth, and immortality. •Jean Paul Richter   Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives. •A. Sachs   When the body sinks into death, the essence of man is revealed. Man is a knot, a web, a mesh into which relationships are tied. Only those relationships matter. The body is an old crock that nobody will miss. I have never known a man to think of himself when dying. Never. •Antoine De Saint-Exupery   Is death the last step? No, it is the final awakening. •Sir Walter Scott   For those who live neither with religious consolations about death nor with a sense of death (or of anything else) as natural, death is the obscene mystery, the ultimate affront, the thing that cannot be controlled.
