The difference between sex and death is that with death you can do it alone and no one is going to make fun of you. •Woody Allen  At the end of the game the king and the pawn go back in the same box. •Italian Proverb  Life is a great surprise. I don't see why death should not be an even greater one. •Vladimir Nabokov  Dear World, I am leaving because I am bored. I feel I have lived long enough. I am leaving you with your worries in this sweet cesspool. Good luck. •George Sanders, his suicide note  There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval. •Santayana  Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh. •George Bernard Shaw  Do not go gentle into that good night. Old age should burn and rave at close of day. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. •Dylan Thomas  To live is to dream and to die is to awaken. •Anonymous   We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be so at the moment after death. •Nathaniel Hawthorne  All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another. •Anatole France   We are bound to our bodies like an oyster is to its shell. •Plato   Dying is like getting out of a car. You leave a shell behind, but you're the same person as ever. •President Klein  The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy . What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly. •Richard Bach  If there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life. •Albert Camus   We do not know what to do with this short life, yet we yearn for another that will be eternal. •Anatole France  I'm the one who has to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life, the way I want to. •Jimi Hendrix  The real malady is fear of life, not of death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tell me, thou old man, worthy of a child's bauble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50490]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tell me, thou old man, worthy of a child's bauble.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople, Teacher, 407   It is not possible ever to exhaust the mind ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6832]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople, Teacher, 407   It is not possible ever to exhaust the mind of the Scriptures. It is a well that has no bottom.   St. John Chrysostom  September 14, 2002 Feast of the Holy Cross    Learned men and great scholars have devoted great effort and prolonged study to the Holy Scriptures... employing the gifts which God gives to every person who has the use of reason. This knowledge is good... but it does not bring with it any spiritual experience of God, for these graces are granted only to those who have a great love for Him. This fountain of love issues from our Lord alone, and no stranger may approach it. But knowledge of this kind is common to good and bad alike, since it can be acquired without love, ... and men of a worldly life are sometimes more knowledgeable than many true Christians although they do not possess this love. St. Paul describes this kind of knowledge: "If I had full knowledge of all things and knew all secrets, but had no love, I should be nothing." Some people who possess this knowledge become proud and misuse it in order to increase their personal reputation, worldly rank, honours and riches, when they should use it humbly to the praise of God and for the benefit of their fellow Christians in true charity. St. Paul says of this kind of knowledge: "Knowledge by itself stirs the heart with pride, but united to love it turns to edification." By itself this knowledge is like water, tasteless and cold. But if those who have it will offer it humbly to our Lord and ask for His grace, He will turn the water into wine with His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25589]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The giving of riches and honors to a wicked man is like giving strong wine to him that hath a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61551]]></link><description><![CDATA[The giving of riches and honors to a wicked man is like giving strong wine to him that hath a fever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I tell the American people solemnly that the United States will never survive as a happy and fertile oasis of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12208]]></link><description><![CDATA[I tell the American people solemnly that the United States will never survive as a happy and fertile oasis of liberty surrounded by a cruel desert of dictatorship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26172]]></link><description><![CDATA[The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While an ant was wandering under the shade of the tree of Phaeton, a drop of amber enveloped the tiny ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2674]]></link><description><![CDATA[While an ant was wandering under the shade of the tree of Phaeton, a drop of amber enveloped the tiny insect;
