Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths, Our bruised arms hung up for monuments, Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings, Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front; And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber To the lascivious pleasing of a lute. But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass; I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph; I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, And that so lamely and unfashionable That dogs bark at me as I halt by them,— Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight to pass away the time, Unless to spy my shadow in the sun. -King Richard III. Act i. Sc. 1.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True happiness brings more richness than all the money in the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54198]]></link><description><![CDATA[True happiness brings more richness than all the money in the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The closest to being in control we will ever be is in that moment that we realize we're not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3588]]></link><description><![CDATA[The closest to being in control we will ever be is in that moment that we realize we're not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God's timing in moving me down here was perfect, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39159]]></link><description><![CDATA[God's timing in moving me down here was perfect,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worst thing right now is the weather.

Theologia Germanica  June 21, 1998  Alas! day by day we ask that His Will may be done, and yet, when it comes to the doing, we find it so hard! We offer ourselves so often to God -- we continually say, "Lord, I am Thine, I give Thee my heart," and when He accepts it, we are such cowards.
