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[You are an extremely valuable, worthwhile, significant person even though your present circumstances may have you felling otherwise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8744]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are an extremely valuable, worthwhile, significant person even though your present circumstances may have you felling otherwise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8744</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here's to the town of New Haven, The home of the truth and the light,  Where God speaks to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59395]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here's to the town of New Haven, The home of the truth and the light,  Where God speaks to Jones,   In the very same tones,    That he uses with Hadley and Dwight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learning by study must be won; 'Twas ne'er entail'd from son to son. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24541]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learning by study must be won; 'Twas ne'er entail'd from son to son.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There has been a transformation - you can feel it among the players - but I can hold my hand ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30669]]></link><description><![CDATA[There has been a transformation - you can feel it among the players - but I can hold my hand up and say that is not down to me coaching on the field.
