This is the idea which has kept me virtually unknown for the past 16 years. I have watched my crowds dwindle. I am going nowhere, and nowhere quick, but, those of you who have children, I am sorry to tell you this, but they are not special. Wait! I know some of you are going "what, what?" Let me just clarify: I know YOU think they're special ... ha ha ha! I'm aware of that. I'm just here to tell you, that they're NOT! Ha ha ha ha! Sorry. Did you know that every time a guy comes he comes two-hundred million sperm? One out of TWO-HUNDRED MILLION – that load, we're only talking about one load – connected: gee, what are the fucking odds? Do you know what that means? I've wiped nations off've my chest with a grey gymsock. ENTIRE CIVILISATIONS HAVE FLAKED AND CRUSTED IN THE HAIR AROUND MY NAVEL!

But what doth the Christian like this? None is ashamed, none repenteth, save that he was not such long ago. If he be marked down, he glorieth; if accused, maketh no defense; being questioned, confesseth even of his own accord; being condemned, giveth thanks. What manner of evil is this, which hath not the natural marks of evil, fear, shame, shrinking, penitence, sorrow? What manner of evil is this, whereof he that is accused rejoiceth?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Space is to place as eternity is to time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57307]]></link><description><![CDATA[Space is to place as eternity is to time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57307</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cats are designated friends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5321]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cats are designated friends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Zealous men are ever displaying to you the strength of their belief, while judicious men are showing you the grounds ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62648]]></link><description><![CDATA[Zealous men are ever displaying to you the strength of their belief, while judicious men are showing you the grounds of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62648</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's like giving birth to a kindergartener, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40182]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's like giving birth to a kindergartener,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mystics always hope that science will some day overtake them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43593]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mystics always hope that science will some day overtake them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What a case am I in. -As You Like It.
