But Man having induced death upon himself, God hath taken Man's Creature, death, into his hand, and mended it, and whereas it hath in itself a fearfull form and aspect, so that Man is afraid of his own Creature, God presents it to him, in a familiar, in an assiduous, in an agreeable and acceptable form, in sleep, that so when he awakes from sleep and says to himself, shall I be no otherwise when I am dead, than I was even now, when I was asleep, he may be ashamed of his waking dreams, and of his Melancholique fancying out a horrid and an affrightful figure of that death which is so like sleep. As then we need sleep to live out our threescore and ten years, so we need death, to live that life which we cannot out-live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not much meat on her, but what's there is choice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2846]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not much meat on her, but what's there is choice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2846</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all the judgments we pass in life, none is more important than the judgment we pass on ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52122]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all the judgments we pass in life, none is more important than the judgment we pass on ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So smooth he daubed his vice with show of virtue That, his apparent open guilt omitted--  I mean, his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20238]]></link><description><![CDATA[So smooth he daubed his vice with show of virtue That, his apparent open guilt omitted--  I mean, his conversation with Shore's wife--   He lived from all attainder of suspects.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is nearly 100 percent of the ministry's (procurement) budget that has gone AWOL (absent without leave), ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28943]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is nearly 100 percent of the ministry's (procurement) budget that has gone AWOL (absent without leave),]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28943</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What Roman power slowly built, an unarmed traitor instantly overthrew. [Lat., Quod tantis Romana manus contexuit annis  Proditur unus ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54404]]></link><description><![CDATA[What Roman power slowly built, an unarmed traitor instantly overthrew. [Lat., Quod tantis Romana manus contexuit annis  Proditur unus iners angusto tempore vertit.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fragrant o'er all the western groves The tall magnolia towers unshaded. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59670]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fragrant o'er all the western groves The tall magnolia towers unshaded.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise God shrouds the future in obscure darkness. [Lat., Prudens futuri temporis exitum  Caliginosa nocte premit deus.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17092]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise God shrouds the future in obscure darkness. [Lat., Prudens futuri temporis exitum  Caliginosa nocte premit deus.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yesterday, I didn't let it get to me, ...
