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[Of all the griefs that harass the distress'd, Sure the most bitter is a scornful jest;  Fate never wounds ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23233]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all the griefs that harass the distress'd, Sure the most bitter is a scornful jest;  Fate never wounds more deep the generous heart,   Than when a blockhead's insult points the dart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That which prematurely arrives at perfection soon perishes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51054]]></link><description><![CDATA[That which prematurely arrives at perfection soon perishes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talk low, talk slow, and don't say too much. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4883]]></link><description><![CDATA[Talk low, talk slow, and don't say too much.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wherever there is danger, there lurks opportunity; whenever there is opportunity, there lurks danger.

This makes them self-sufficient, morose, severe judges of all those that fall short of their mortifications. And thus their self-denials do only that for them which indulgences do for other people: they withstand and hinder the operation of God upon their souls, and instead of being really self-denials, they strengthen and keep up the kingdom of self.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lie cannot live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63227]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lie cannot live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[April can be a violent month. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30688]]></link><description><![CDATA[April can be a violent month.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who boasts of his ancestry praises the merits of another ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2476]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who boasts of his ancestry praises the merits of another]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Dick, Jane, and Spot primers have gone to that bookshelf in the sky.
