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[We've become a very sought-after partner for developing Broadway musicals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33167]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've become a very sought-after partner for developing Broadway musicals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would rather have five energetic and competent enemies than one fool friend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9200]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would rather have five energetic and competent enemies than one fool friend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you start getting involved in bond math it gets complicated.

And now I bear it and it is light unto me, because so hast Thou promised, and hast made it; and verily it was so, and I knew it not, when I feared to take it.  ... The Confessions of St. Augustine    October 10, 1999  Feast of Paulinus, Bishop of York, Missionary, 644  Wilberforce, Lord Shaftesbury, and many other evangelicals, have been leaders in social reform, but it was not their religion.

For infinite wisdom does not need telling what is best, and infinite goodness needs no urging to do it. But neither does God need any of those things that are done by finite agents, whether living or inanimate. He could, if He chose, repair our bodies miraculously without food; or give us food without the aid of farmers, bakers, and butchers, or knowledge without the aid of learned men; or convert the heathen without missionaries. Instead, He allows soils and weather and animals and the muscles, minds, and wills of men to cooperate in the execution of His will... It is not really stranger, nor less strange, that my prayers should affect the course of events than that my other actions should do so. They have not advised or changed God' s mind -- that is, His overall purpose. But that purpose will be realized in different ways according to the actions, including the prayers, of His creatures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry is a way of taking life by the throat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46825]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry is a way of taking life by the throat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I pray you all, If you have hitherto concealed this sight,  Let it be tenable in your silence still. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54990]]></link><description><![CDATA[I pray you all, If you have hitherto concealed this sight,  Let it be tenable in your silence still.   And whatsoever else shall hap to-night,    Give it an understanding but no tongue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We did as many as we felt we could do in a short period of time and still do it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40116]]></link><description><![CDATA[We did as many as we felt we could do in a short period of time and still do it well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25045]]></link><description><![CDATA[That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you wish to preserve your secret wrap it up in frankness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57852]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you wish to preserve your secret wrap it up in frankness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Progress cannot be organized. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56798]]></link><description><![CDATA[Progress cannot be organized.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe witha person having neither to weigh thoughts or measure words, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22661]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship is the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe witha person having neither to weigh thoughts or measure words, but pouringall right out just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that afaithful friendly hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keepingand, with a breath of comfort, blow the rest away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think all the boys that write the screaming stuff would write the best love songs.... because they have the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56439]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think all the boys that write the screaming stuff would write the best love songs.... because they have the most to hide.
