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[Dame Nature's minstrels. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4229]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dame Nature's minstrels.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I asked him what the prognosis was.

The substitute is usually embraced with vehemence and extremism, for we have to convince ourselves that what we took as second choice is the best there ever was. Thus blind faith is to a considerable extent a substitute for the lost faith in ourselves; insatiable desire a substitute for hope; accumulation a substitute for growth; fervent hustling a substitute for purposeful action; and pride a substitute for an unattainable self-respect.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us be of cheer, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5834]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us be of cheer, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The longer I live the more I see that I am never wrong about anything, and that all the pains ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20032]]></link><description><![CDATA[The longer I live the more I see that I am never wrong about anything, and that all the pains that I have so humbly taken to verify my notions have only wasted my time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man who could build a church, as one may say, by squinting at a sheet of paper. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3016]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man who could build a church, as one may say, by squinting at a sheet of paper.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3016</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of Satan's shepherdesses caught And meant to stamp him with her master's mark. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51709]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of Satan's shepherdesses caught And meant to stamp him with her master's mark.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm living so far beyond my income that we may almost be said to be living apart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42966]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm living so far beyond my income that we may almost be said to be living apart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A single doctor likes a sculler plies, And all his art and all his physic tries;  But two physicians, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26680]]></link><description><![CDATA[A single doctor likes a sculler plies, And all his art and all his physic tries;  But two physicians, like a pair of oars,   Conduct you soonest to the Stygian shores.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But beyond the bright searchlights of science, Out of sight of the windows of sense,  Old riddles still bid ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54837]]></link><description><![CDATA[But beyond the bright searchlights of science, Out of sight of the windows of sense,  Old riddles still bid us defiance,   Old questions of Why and of Whence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When they hit that 3, I thought Sterling's 3 when we came right back down in transition was pretty big. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37925]]></link><description><![CDATA[When they hit that 3, I thought Sterling's 3 when we came right back down in transition was pretty big.

If we admit that men can do very well without Christ, we accept the Saviour only as a luxury for ourselves. If they can do very well without Christ, then so could we. This is to turn our backs upon the Christ of the gospels and the Christ of Acts and to turn our faces towards law, morality, philosophy, natural religion. We look at the moral teaching of some of the heathen nations and we find it higher than we had expected... Or we look at morality in Christian lands, and we begin to wonder whether our practice is really much higher than theirs, and we say, "They are very well as they are. Leave them alone." When we so speak and think we are treating the question of the salvation of men exactly as we should have treated it had Christ never appeared in the world at all. It is an essentially pre-Christian attitude, and implies that the Son of God has not been delivered for our salvation. It suggests that the one and only way of salvation known to me is to keep the commandments. That was indeed true before the coming of the Son of God, before the Passion, before the Resurrection, before Pentecost; but after Pentecost that is no longer true. After Pentecost, the answer to any man who inquires the way of salvation is no longer "Keep the law," but "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66626]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We know how important this is to the individual and we're trying to work with them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38943]]></link><description><![CDATA[We know how important this is to the individual and we're trying to work with them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38943</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That pleasure which can be safely indulged in is the least inviting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50763]]></link><description><![CDATA[That pleasure which can be safely indulged in is the least inviting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50763</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A refined simplicity is the characteristic of all high bred deportment, in every country, and a considerate humanity should be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56344]]></link><description><![CDATA[A refined simplicity is the characteristic of all high bred deportment, in every country, and a considerate humanity should be the aim of all beneath it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cruelty and fear shake hands together. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10801]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cruelty and fear shake hands together.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I add this, that rational ability without education has oftener raised man to glory and virtue, than education without natural ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/72]]></link><description><![CDATA[I add this, that rational ability without education has oftener raised man to glory and virtue, than education without natural ability.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/72</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A truly strong person does not need the approval of others any more than a lion needs the approval of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5649]]></link><description><![CDATA[A truly strong person does not need the approval of others any more than a lion needs the approval of sheep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5649</guid></item></channel></rss>
