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://maxioms.com/maxiom/8096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What a special moment for soccer in this state.

But thus much may we learn from these heathens, that if the dead, and we, be not upon one floor, nor under one story, yet we are under one roof. We think not a friend lost, because he has gone into another room, nor because he has gone into another land: and into another world, no man has gone; for that Heaven, which God created, and this world, is all one world... I spend none of my faith, I exercise none of my hope, in this, that I shall have my dead raised to life again. This is the faith that sustains me, when I lose by the death of others, or when I suffer by living in misery myself: that the dead and we are now all in one Church, and at the resurrection, shall be all in one Choir.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An oppressed people are authorized whenever they can to rise and break their fetters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53164]]></link><description><![CDATA[An oppressed people are authorized whenever they can to rise and break their fetters.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discontent is the first step in the progress of a man or a nation ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12411]]></link><description><![CDATA[Discontent is the first step in the progress of a man or a nation]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not dumb enough to be a goalie. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57764]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm not dumb enough to be a goalie.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57764</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If violence is wrong in America, violence is wrong abroad.
