A man can be a hero because he suffers and despairs; or because he thinks logically and analytically; or because he is "sensitive;" or because he is cruel. Wealth establishes a man as a hero, and so does poverty. Virtually any circumstance in a man's life will make him a hero to some group of people and has a mythic rendering in the culture -- in literature, art, theater, or the daily newspapers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Frieth in his own grease. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52555]]></link><description><![CDATA[Frieth in his own grease.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me.

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[When I think about Zeal, he was the most honest and fair man I had ever known. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31857]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I think about Zeal, he was the most honest and fair man I had ever known.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To converse with Scandal is to play at Losing Loadum, you must lose a good name to him, before you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54746]]></link><description><![CDATA[To converse with Scandal is to play at Losing Loadum, you must lose a good name to him, before you can win it for yourself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How many pens are broken, how many ink bottles consumed, to write about things that have never happened. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19454]]></link><description><![CDATA[How many pens are broken, how many ink bottles consumed, to write about things that have never happened.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time cools; time clarifies; no mood can be maintained quite unaltered through the course of hours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59361]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time cools; time clarifies; no mood can be maintained quite unaltered through the course of hours.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Democrats seem to be basically nicer people, but they have demonstrated time and again that they have the management ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11861]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Democrats seem to be basically nicer people, but they have demonstrated time and again that they have the management skills of celery.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The absolute fundamental aim is to make money out of satisfying customers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15852]]></link><description><![CDATA[The absolute fundamental aim is to make money out of satisfying customers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The idea that the sole aim of punishment is to prevent crime is obviously grounded upon the theory that crime ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47499]]></link><description><![CDATA[The idea that the sole aim of punishment is to prevent crime is obviously grounded upon the theory that crime can be prevented, which is almost as dubious as the notion that poverty can be prevented.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Angel ended, and in Adam's ear So charming left his voice, that he awhile  Thought him still speaking, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60919]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Angel ended, and in Adam's ear So charming left his voice, that he awhile  Thought him still speaking, still stood fix'd to hear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxon), Apostle of Wessex, 650  In his enthusiasm, the evangelist often finds it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7426]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxon), Apostle of Wessex, 650  In his enthusiasm, the evangelist often finds it difficult seriously to imagine that anyone could be called not to be an evangelist. The man of vision and imagination finds it difficult to see the value of those who do no more than plod on faithfully along a well-tried road. The man whose concern is in personal dealing with people and leading them to understand God better finds it difficult to be patient with the theologian or the Christian philosopher whose work is in the quiet of a book-lined study. Yet the truth is that the wholeness which God is working to achieve is never complete in an individual, but through individuals living together as one body, each supplying the deficiencies of the others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To make mistakes is human; to stumble is commonplace; to be able to laugh at yourself is maturity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26573]]></link><description><![CDATA[To make mistakes is human; to stumble is commonplace; to be able to laugh at yourself is maturity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26573</guid></item></channel></rss>
