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[Of doues I haue a dainty paire Which, when you please to take the aier,  About your head shall ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59999]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of doues I haue a dainty paire Which, when you please to take the aier,  About your head shall gently houer,   Your cleere browe from the sunne to couer,    And with their nimble wings shall fan you     That neither cold nor heate shall tan you,      And like umbrellas, with their feathers       Sheeld you in all sorts of weathers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59999</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our judgments judge us, and nothing reveals us, exposes our weaknesses, more ingeniously than the attitude of pronouncing upon our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63492]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our judgments judge us, and nothing reveals us, exposes our weaknesses, more ingeniously than the attitude of pronouncing upon our fellows.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wish they would only take me as I am. - Dear Theo: Autobiography of Vincent Van Gogh. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46382]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wish they would only take me as I am. - Dear Theo: Autobiography of Vincent Van Gogh.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One eye sees, the other feels. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60859]]></link><description><![CDATA[One eye sees, the other feels.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Its so easy to fall in love but hard to find someone who will catch you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65754]]></link><description><![CDATA[Its so easy to fall in love but hard to find someone who will catch you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now Heaven and Earth are older than the temples, and older than the Scriptures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34245]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now Heaven and Earth are older than the temples, and older than the Scriptures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you have faults, do not fear to abandon them ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15435]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you have faults, do not fear to abandon them]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Try to keep order and security so that there will not be any negative side effects.
