But Man having induced death upon himself, God hath taken Man's Creature, death, into his hand, and mended it, and whereas it hath in itself a fearfull form and aspect, so that Man is afraid of his own Creature, God presents it to him, in a familiar, in an assiduous, in an agreeable and acceptable form, in sleep, that so when he awakes from sleep and says to himself, shall I be no otherwise when I am dead, than I was even now, when I was asleep, he may be ashamed of his waking dreams, and of his Melancholique fancying out a horrid and an affrightful figure of that death which is so like sleep. As then we need sleep to live out our threescore and ten years, so we need death, to live that life which we cannot out-live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True repentance is to cease from sinning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53840]]></link><description><![CDATA[True repentance is to cease from sinning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pessimist is a man who has been compelled to live with an optimist. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65942]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pessimist is a man who has been compelled to live with an optimist.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty is also to be found in a day's work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22216]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beauty is also to be found in a day's work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the music is nothing if the audience is deaf. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1030]]></link><description><![CDATA[It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the music is nothing if the audience is deaf.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is, To have a thankless child. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51336]]></link><description><![CDATA[How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is, To have a thankless child.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best biographies leave their readers with a sense of having all but entered into a second life and of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4216]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best biographies leave their readers with a sense of having all but entered into a second life and of having come to know another human being in some ways better than he knew himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were a team without a lot of respect all year.
