From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,  Much pleasure, then from thee much more, must flow,  And soonest our best men with thee do go,  Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery. Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men, And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,  And poppy, or charms, can make us sleep as well,  And better than thy stroke. Why swell'st thou then? One short sleep past, we wake eternally,  And Death shall be no more: Death, thou shalt die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who, as they sung, would take the prison'd soul And lap it in Elysium. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56462]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who, as they sung, would take the prison'd soul And lap it in Elysium.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of All Saints  Let men in whose hearts are the ways of God seriously consider the use that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7207]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of All Saints  Let men in whose hearts are the ways of God seriously consider the use that hath been made, under the blessing of God, of the conscientious observation of the Lord's day, in the past and present ages, unto the promotion of holiness, righteousness, and religion universally, in the power of it; and if they are not under invincible prejudices, it will be very difficult for them to judge that it is a plant which our heavenly Father hath not planted. For my part, I must not only say, but plead whilst I live in this world, and leave this testimony to the present and future ages, if these papers see the light and do survive, that if I have ever seen any thing in the ways and worship of God wherein the power of religion or godliness hath been expressed, any thing that hath represented the holiness of the gospel and the Author of it, any thing that hath looked like a preludium unto the everlasting Sabbath and rest with God, which we aim through grace to come unto, it hath been there and with them where and amongst whom the Lord's day hath been had in highest esteem, and a strict observation of it attended unto, as an ordinance of our Lord Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But what avail'd this temperance, not complete Against another object more enticing? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50650]]></link><description><![CDATA[But what avail'd this temperance, not complete Against another object more enticing?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where your will is ready, your feete are light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50085]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where your will is ready, your feete are light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that a worthwhile life is defined by a kind of spiritual journey and a sense of obligation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44755]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that a worthwhile life is defined by a kind of spiritual journey and a sense of obligation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The strongest man in the world is he who stands alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27807]]></link><description><![CDATA[The strongest man in the world is he who stands alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58741]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All Nature seems at work, slugs leave their lair-- The bees are stirring--birds are on the wing--  And Winter, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62094]]></link><description><![CDATA[All Nature seems at work, slugs leave their lair-- The bees are stirring--birds are on the wing--  And Winter, slumbering in the open air,   Wears on his smiling face a dream of Spring!    And I the while, the sole unbusy thing,     Nor honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor sing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A person's life is dyed with the color of his imagination. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41478]]></link><description><![CDATA[A person's life is dyed with the color of his imagination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Both men and women are fallible.
