This is the state of man: to-day he puts forth The tender leaves of hopes; to-morrow blossoms, And bears his blushing honours thick upon him; The third day comes a frost, a killing frost, And when he thinks, good easy man, full surely His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root, And then he falls, as I do. I have ventured, Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, This many summers in a sea of glory, But far beyond my depth: my high-blown pride At length broke under me and now has left me, Weary and old with service, to the mercy Of a rude stream, that must forever hide me. Vain pomp and glory of this world, I hate ye: I feel my heart new opened. O, how wretched Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favours! There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to, That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, More pangs and fears than wars or women have: And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, Never to hope again. -King Henry VIII. Act iii. Sc. 2.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is always a need for intoxication: China has opium, Islam has hashish, the West has woman. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45018]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is always a need for intoxication: China has opium, Islam has hashish, the West has woman.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45018</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just because you're beautiful and perfect, it's made you conceited. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65998]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just because you're beautiful and perfect, it's made you conceited.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Globalization has changed us into a company that searches the world, not just to sell or to source, but to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17524]]></link><description><![CDATA[Globalization has changed us into a company that searches the world, not just to sell or to source, but to find intellectual capital - the world's best talents and greatest ideas.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So glistered the dire Snake, and into fraud Led Eve, our credulous mother, to the Tree  Of Prohibition, root ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16635]]></link><description><![CDATA[So glistered the dire Snake, and into fraud Led Eve, our credulous mother, to the Tree  Of Prohibition, root of all our woe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26998]]></link><description><![CDATA[A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic.

No reader of the gospel story can fail to be impressed by Jesus' humble submission to the will of his God on the one hand, and his mastery of all situations on the other; by his penetrating discernment of human motives and his authoritative demand of radical obedience on the one hand, and his gracious, forgiving acceptance of sinners on the other. There is nothing, either in the Messianic hopes of pre-Christian Judaism or in the later Messianic beliefs of the early Christian Church to account for this portrait. It is characterized by an originality and freshness which is beyond the power of invention.
