To say that we must wait for the other world, to know the mind of Him who came to this world to give Himself to us, seems to me the foolishness of a worldly and lazy spirit. The Son of God is the teacher of men, giving to them of His Spirit -- that Spirit which manifests the deep things of God, being to a man the mind of Christ. The great heresy of the Church of the present day is unbelief in this Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one even knew it was happening.

The difference between sex and death is that with death you can do it alone and no one is going to make fun of you. •Woody Allen  At the end of the game the king and the pawn go back in the same box. •Italian Proverb  Life is a great surprise. I don't see why death should not be an even greater one. •Vladimir Nabokov  Dear World, I am leaving because I am bored. I feel I have lived long enough. I am leaving you with your worries in this sweet cesspool. Good luck. •George Sanders, his suicide note  There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval. •Santayana  Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh. •George Bernard Shaw  Do not go gentle into that good night. Old age should burn and rave at close of day. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. •Dylan Thomas  To live is to dream and to die is to awaken. •Anonymous   We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be so at the moment after death. •Nathaniel Hawthorne  All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another. •Anatole France   We are bound to our bodies like an oyster is to its shell. •Plato   Dying is like getting out of a car. You leave a shell behind, but you're the same person as ever. •President Klein  The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy . What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly. •Richard Bach  If there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life. •Albert Camus   We do not know what to do with this short life, yet we yearn for another that will be eternal. •Anatole France  I'm the one who has to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life, the way I want to. •Jimi Hendrix  The real malady is fear of life, not of death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hearing ear is always found close to the speaking tongue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25207]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hearing ear is always found close to the speaking tongue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The compromise we made with the AA this time was a fair one.

God has no more wrath in Himself now than He had before the creation, when He had only Himself to love... And it was solely to quench this wrath, awakened in the human soul, that the blood of the Son of God was necessary; because nothing but a life and birth, derived from Him into the human soul, could change this darkened root of a self-tormenting fire into an amiable image of the Holy Trinity as it was at first created.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let's pray that the human race never escapes from Earth to spread its iniquity elsewhere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52891]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let's pray that the human race never escapes from Earth to spread its iniquity elsewhere.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the triangles made a god, they would give him three sides. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56946]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the triangles made a god, they would give him three sides.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jazz will endure just as long people hear it through their feet instead of their brains. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23130]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jazz will endure just as long people hear it through their feet instead of their brains.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis vain to flee; till gentle Mercy show Her better eye, the farther off we go,  The swing of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27343]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis vain to flee; till gentle Mercy show Her better eye, the farther off we go,  The swing of Justice deals the mightier blow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27729]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O blithe New-comer!
