It is the current coin that purchases all the pleasures of the world cheap; and the balance that sets the king and the shepherd, the fool and the wise man, even. There is only one thing, which somebody once put into my head, that I dislike in sleep; it is, that it resembles death; there is very little difference between a man in his first sleep, and a man in his last sleep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Someone asked me why women don't gamble as much as men do, and I gave the commonsensical reply that we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17158]]></link><description><![CDATA[Someone asked me why women don't gamble as much as men do, and I gave the commonsensical reply that we don't have as much money.

To imagine, then, at the end of this life we shall cease to exist as conscious beings, that our characters, our personalities, will fall back into some boundless being, instead of becoming more and more definite, more and more individual, is certainly not to exalt God; for it is founded on the belief, either that God is now belittled by our present individuality, or that our present individuality is a mere delusion. In the latter case God, whom we find in the depths of our souls, is doubtless also a delusion, for if the self is not real it is no respectable witness on whose testimony we can accept God. Our deepest mature conviction is that finite and infinity interpenetrate, as time and eternity interpenetrate, and our problems must be solved in the light of that conviction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The formula for water is H2O.

An Eagle, hovering near, heard her lamentation and demanded what reward she would give him if he would take her aloft and float her in the air. I will give you, she said, all the riches of the Red Sea. I will teach you to fly then, said the Eagle; and taking her up in his talons he carried her almost to the clouds suddenly he let her go, and she fell on a lofty mountain, dashing her shell to pieces. The Tortoise exclaimed in the moment of death: I have deserved my present fate; for what had I to do with wings and clouds, who can with difficulty move about on the earth?' If men had all they wished, they would be often ruined.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In advertising, not to be different is virtual suicide. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28023]]></link><description><![CDATA[In advertising, not to be different is virtual suicide.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28023</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a woman has lost her chastity, she will shrink from no crime. [Lat., Neque femina amissa pudicitia alia abneurit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5801]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a woman has lost her chastity, she will shrink from no crime. [Lat., Neque femina amissa pudicitia alia abneurit.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tragedy and comedy are but two aspects of what is real, and whether we see the tragic or the humorous ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46238]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tragedy and comedy are but two aspects of what is real, and whether we see the tragic or the humorous is a matter of perspective.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The market has not stabilized yet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42202]]></link><description><![CDATA[The market has not stabilized yet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a blessing to die for a cause, because you can so easily die for nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11450]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a blessing to die for a cause, because you can so easily die for nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heart is something you can't teach.
