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[The style is the man. [Fr., Le style c'est l'homme.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48681]]></link><description><![CDATA[The style is the man. [Fr., Le style c'est l'homme.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cat has too much spirit to have no heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5331]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cat has too much spirit to have no heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's like my father always said to me, he said to me, he said, Roseanna Roseanadana, it's always something.
