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[Man's inhumanity to man Makes countless thousands mourn! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10804]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man's inhumanity to man Makes countless thousands mourn!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgiveness is better than revenge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16513]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forgiveness is better than revenge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ascension  A comprehended god is no god. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6631]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ascension  A comprehended god is no god.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that two people are connected at the heart, and it doesn't matter what you do, or who you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63041]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that two people are connected at the heart, and it doesn't matter what you do, or who you are or where you live; there are no boundaries or barriers if two people are destined to be together.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27549]]></link><description><![CDATA[Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wasn't expecting it [Grammy]...

But this tension is not something that concerns the Church and the world as though they are things which exist outside us and apart from us, which we can consider and observe and discuss and have theories about. The tension between the Church and the world exists within us and is the very fiber of our being, and neither the one nor the other is superficial or trivial. For we are, all of us, of the earth, earthy; and we are also baptized members of Christ and His Church. It is precisely because we belong to two worlds that our lives consist in insecurity -- that we are, in fact, a drama, the final act of which, the judgement of reward or punishment, heaven or hell, is hidden from us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The earth only has so much bounty to offer and inventing ever larger and more notional prices for that bounty ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62217]]></link><description><![CDATA[The earth only has so much bounty to offer and inventing ever larger and more notional prices for that bounty does not change its real value.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They say that women talk too much.
