This is the idea which has kept me virtually unknown for the past 16 years. I have watched my crowds dwindle. I am going nowhere, and nowhere quick, but, those of you who have children, I am sorry to tell you this, but they are not special. Wait! I know some of you are going "what, what?" Let me just clarify: I know YOU think they're special ... ha ha ha! I'm aware of that. I'm just here to tell you, that they're NOT! Ha ha ha ha! Sorry. Did you know that every time a guy comes he comes two-hundred million sperm? One out of TWO-HUNDRED MILLION – that load, we're only talking about one load – connected: gee, what are the fucking odds? Do you know what that means? I've wiped nations off've my chest with a grey gymsock. ENTIRE CIVILISATIONS HAVE FLAKED AND CRUSTED IN THE HAIR AROUND MY NAVEL! [...] I've tossed universes in my underpants while napping. Boom! A Milkyway shoots into my jockeyshorts: "Unngh ... what's for fucking breakfast?!"]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not want to work to correspond to an image. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36770]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not want to work to correspond to an image.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather.

For prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted. And if an infinitely wise Being listens to the requests of finite and foolish creatures, of course He will sometimes grant and sometimes refuse them. Invariable "success" in prayer would not prove the Christian doctrine at all. It would prove something more like magic -- a power in certain human beings to control, or compel, the course of nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never chase a lie.

The seven works of spiritual mercy be these: teach men the truth, counsel men to hold with Christ's law, chastise sinners by moderate reproving in charity, comfort sorrowful men by Christ's passion, forgive wrongs, suffer meekly reproofs for the right of God's law, pray heartily for friend and for foe.   ... Middle English Sermons  September 6, 2001 Commemoration of Allen Gardiner, founder of the South American Missionary Society, 1851 Commemoration of Albert Schweitzer, Teacher, Physician, Missionary, 1965   Of the access for us, at any rate, to the spirit of life -- us who were born in Christendom, and are in touch, conscious or unconscious, with Christianity -- this is the true account. Questions over which the churches spend so much labour and time -- questions about the Trinity, about the godhead of Christ, about the procession of the Holy Ghost -- are not vital; what is vital is the doctrine of access to the spirit of life through Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hospital bed is a parked taxi with the meter running. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66187]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hospital bed is a parked taxi with the meter running.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're still looking into the determining factors of the outbreak.
