Lord, I am glad for the young April's wonder, Glad for the fulness of long summer days; And now when the spring and my heart are asunder, Lord, I give thanks for the dark autumn ways. Sun, bloom, and blossom, O Lord, I remember, The dream of the spring and its joy I recall; But now in the silence and pain of November, Lord, I give thanks to Thee, Giver of all!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My kind of loyalty was loyalty to one's country, not to its institutions or its officeholders.

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[Job security is gone.

Yet if our world were truly Christian, the change might be a reason for rejoicing. We no longer need our families -- we are therefore free to love them with complete unselfishness. Now at last it is possible to honour our parents genuinely, because they no longer have the power to kill us if we don't. The old sort of honour was sometimes an ugly sham: the son who respects Father only out of fear of punishment is not much of a son, just as the Christian who worships God only out of fear of hell is precious little of a Christian. But the new sort of honour can be a beautiful and holy thing. There are many sweet and sane families bound together by love; there are plenty of experts who remind us that only love can make the modern family work at all. And one must admit that there are plenty of parents very willing to be honoured. The catch is that not so many of them are willing to be honourable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a rare and difficult attainment to grow old gracefully and happily. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44906]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a rare and difficult attainment to grow old gracefully and happily.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For gnarling sorrow hath less power to bite The man, that mocks at it, and sets it light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51500]]></link><description><![CDATA[For gnarling sorrow hath less power to bite The man, that mocks at it, and sets it light.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The company's intent was to cap their costs on health care, and the company came back to the union and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32802]]></link><description><![CDATA[The company's intent was to cap their costs on health care, and the company came back to the union and said that if your members want to stay with the insurance, they will have to pick up those increases.
