But Man having induced death upon himself, God hath taken Man's Creature, death, into his hand, and mended it, and whereas it hath in itself a fearfull form and aspect, so that Man is afraid of his own Creature, God presents it to him, in a familiar, in an assiduous, in an agreeable and acceptable form, in sleep, that so when he awakes from sleep and says to himself, shall I be no otherwise when I am dead, than I was even now, when I was asleep, he may be ashamed of his waking dreams, and of his Melancholique fancying out a horrid and an affrightful figure of that death which is so like sleep. As then we need sleep to live out our threescore and ten years, so we need death, to live that life which we cannot out-live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is tougher than any loss that we've had this year.

I think that the Catholic Church ought to have maintained and used ecclesiastical and sacerdotal authority, but that its maintenance and its use ought to have been accompanied with a continual fear. Because they had before them this fact, that however divinely authoritative, however securely resting on a basis of legitimate and genuine inspiration, yet the ecclesiastical authority of the Old Covenant, by no process of sudden revolution, but simply by a process of gradual development, was capable of becoming something so utterly alien in spirit from what it was intended to be, that when the Christ came, to prepare for whom and to welcome whom was the one reason for which it existed, it did in fact reject Him utterly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the looks--not the lips, is the soul reflected. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57282]]></link><description><![CDATA[From the looks--not the lips, is the soul reflected.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Questions focus our thinking.
