They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard; Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. -As You Like It. Act ii. Sc. 7.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A camel is a horse designed by committee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18041]]></link><description><![CDATA[A camel is a horse designed by committee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beginning and average players are in great demand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38532]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beginning and average players are in great demand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53760]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made...
