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[Any time you try to win everything, you must be willing to lose everything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22257]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any time you try to win everything, you must be willing to lose everything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is what I learned: that everybody is talented, original and has something important to say. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63953]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is what I learned: that everybody is talented, original and has something important to say.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63953</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail? -Dr. Robert Schuller. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22795]]></link><description><![CDATA[What would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail? -Dr. Robert Schuller.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22795</guid></item></channel></rss>
