This is the state of man: to-day he puts forth The tender leaves of hopes; to-morrow blossoms, And bears his blushing honours thick upon him; The third day comes a frost, a killing frost, And when he thinks, good easy man, full surely His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root, And then he falls, as I do. I have ventured, Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, This many summers in a sea of glory, But far beyond my depth: my high-blown pride At length broke under me and now has left me, Weary and old with service, to the mercy Of a rude stream, that must forever hide me. Vain pomp and glory of this world, I hate ye: I feel my heart new opened. O, how wretched Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favours! There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to, That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, More pangs and fears than wars or women have: And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, Never to hope again. -King Henry VIII. Act iii. Sc. 2.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ho! why dost thou shiver and shake, Gaffer Grey? And why does thy nose look so blue? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58200]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ho! why dost thou shiver and shake, Gaffer Grey? And why does thy nose look so blue?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have been extremely touched by these signs of affection on the part of all the Thai people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30149]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have been extremely touched by these signs of affection on the part of all the Thai people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Amid the roses, fierce Repentance rears Her snaky crest; a quick-returning pang  Shoots through the conscious heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53833]]></link><description><![CDATA[Amid the roses, fierce Repentance rears Her snaky crest; a quick-returning pang  Shoots through the conscious heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a broken nest there are few whole eggs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15159]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a broken nest there are few whole eggs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With taper-light To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51349]]></link><description><![CDATA[With taper-light To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51349</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easier to do many things than to do one thing continuously for a long time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60437]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easier to do many things than to do one thing continuously for a long time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The church is only a secular institution in which the half-educated speak to the half-converted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53535]]></link><description><![CDATA[The church is only a secular institution in which the half-educated speak to the half-converted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But if it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul alive. -King Henry V.
