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[Life is the outcome of a balance between the air we breath andanaerobes trying to stifle our aerobic dependence.

For even they are sure that to live for nothing higher than oneself is to lose life; that life, to be called life, can be found only in serving something bigger than one's personal interests; something that crowds these out of mind and heart, till one forgets about them and lives wholly, and without exception, for that other, worthier thing... It is long since Aristotle told us that only barbarians have as their ideal the wish to live as they please, and to do what they like. And the New Testament gravely sets us down before the Cross, and bids us gaze, and still gaze, and keep gazing, till the fact has soaked itself into our minds that that, not less than that, is now the standard set us, and that whatever in our lives clashes with that is sin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She'd have you spew up what you've drunk when you were out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27270]]></link><description><![CDATA[She'd have you spew up what you've drunk when you were out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15314]]></link><description><![CDATA[Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Losse embraceth shame. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49608]]></link><description><![CDATA[Losse embraceth shame.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are traveling the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60960]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are traveling the dark journey with us.
