Some even wanted him to be king, a thought that GW found ludicrous: What astonishing changes a few years are capable of producing! I am told that even respectable characters speak of a monarchical form of government without horror. From thinking proceeds speaking, thence to acting is often but a single step.

It is surely the becoming of a person. Are we not, for most of our lives, marking time? Most of our being is at rest, unlived. In passion, the body and the spirit seek expression outside of self. Passion is all that is other from self. Sex is only interesting when it releases passion. The more extreme and the more expressed that passion is, the more unbearable does life seem without it. It reminds us that if passion dies or is denied, we are partly dead and that soon, come what may, we will be wholly so.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gods only laugh when people ask them for money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21566]]></link><description><![CDATA[The gods only laugh when people ask them for money.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You smile with pomp and rigor, you talk of benevolence and virtue; I act with benevolence and virtue and get ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46596]]></link><description><![CDATA[You smile with pomp and rigor, you talk of benevolence and virtue; I act with benevolence and virtue and get murdered time after time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the wind that saddens, the sea that gladdens, Are singing the selfsame strain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45372]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the wind that saddens, the sea that gladdens, Are singing the selfsame strain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You're taking a group of congregations together.
