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[The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43916]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like the fact that there is challenge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39911]]></link><description><![CDATA[I like the fact that there is challenge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Golf is a good walk spoiled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57761]]></link><description><![CDATA[Golf is a good walk spoiled.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57761</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wide screen just makes a bad film twice as bad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43363]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wide screen just makes a bad film twice as bad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that gives good advice, builds with one hand; he that gives good counsel and example, builds with both; but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1040]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that gives good advice, builds with one hand; he that gives good counsel and example, builds with both; but he that gives good admonition and bad example, builds with one hand and pulls down with the other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Simon sustained a low-grade groin injury.
