Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths, Our bruised arms hung up for monuments, Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings, Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front; And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber To the lascivious pleasing of a lute. But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass; I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph; I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, And that so lamely and unfashionable That dogs bark at me as I halt by them,— Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight to pass away the time, Unless to spy my shadow in the sun. -King Richard III. Act i. Sc. 1.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17326]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yesterday is a canceled check: Forget it.

St. Basil the Great  January 3, 1998  Commemoration of Gladys Aylward, Missionary in China, 1970  For us in the Pacific, in Asia, in India, and in Africa, Christian unity is not an optional extra. It is an urgent necessity, for our divisions are a real stumbling-block to the proclamation of the Gospel... Mission is at the heart of the divine reality. It is the will of God and the Kingdom of God which are to be made known. Wherever we are, our purpose is not to propagate the Church as an end in itself, but to proclaim Christ as Lord of all life and as Saviour of all men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When your throat is parched with thirst, do you desire a cup of gold? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50389]]></link><description><![CDATA[When your throat is parched with thirst, do you desire a cup of gold?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make happy those who are near, and those who are far will come. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62820]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make happy those who are near, and those who are far will come.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/352]]></link><description><![CDATA[That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Know first who you are; and then adorn yourself accordingly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2871]]></link><description><![CDATA[Know first who you are; and then adorn yourself accordingly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are many things which a person can do alone, but being a Christian is not one of them.

As the Christian life is, above all things, a state of union with Christ, and of union of his followers with one another, love of the brethren is inseparable from love of God. Resentment toward any human being cannot exist in the same heart with love to God. The personal relationship to Christ can only be realized when one has "come to himself" as a member of His Body, the Christian fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sex with love is the greatest thing in life.
