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[There is no must in art because art is free ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3147]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no must in art because art is free]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is the stored honey of the human soul, gathered on wings of misery and travail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3311]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art is the stored honey of the human soul, gathered on wings of misery and travail.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's been preparing for this moment for along time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38831]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's been preparing for this moment for along time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have now come to the point when the clarity has to be sought from Yugoslavia, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41942]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have now come to the point when the clarity has to be sought from Yugoslavia,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My reaction to porno films is as follows; After the first ten minutes, I want to go home and screw, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43327]]></link><description><![CDATA[My reaction to porno films is as follows; After the first ten minutes, I want to go home and screw, After the first twenty minutes, I never want to screw again as long as I live]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Action and faith enslave thought, both of them in order not be troubled or inconvenienced by reflection, criticism, and doubt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36435]]></link><description><![CDATA[Action and faith enslave thought, both of them in order not be troubled or inconvenienced by reflection, criticism, and doubt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Naming & Circumcision of Jesus  The moment we make up our minds that we are going ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7128]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Naming & Circumcision of Jesus  The moment we make up our minds that we are going on with this determination to exalt God overall, we step out of the world's parade...

([Dr. Arthur] Way's translation shows this.) One line in a song that comes in Romans 8 has been a great help to me. Way calls the song a "Hymn of Triumph to Jesus". This is the line: "How can He [the Father] but, in giving Him [Jesus], lavish on us all things -- all?" "Freely give" means to give lavishly. What do I need today? Strength? Peace? Patience? Heavenly joy? Industry? Good temper? Power to help others? Inward contentment? Courage? Whatever it be, my God will lavish it upon me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into thereoms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57878]]></link><description><![CDATA[A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into thereoms.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Please Note: "Ouch" is not a term used in Judo. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23552]]></link><description><![CDATA[Please Note: "Ouch" is not a term used in Judo.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is impossible to walk rapidly and be unhappy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60099]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is impossible to walk rapidly and be unhappy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I were a gambler, I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56941]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I were a gambler, I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God sends meat, and the Devil sends cooks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51685]]></link><description><![CDATA[God sends meat, and the Devil sends cooks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51685</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions: How he sware unto the Lord, and vowed unto the mighty God of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56617]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions: How he sware unto the Lord, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;  Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;   I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,    Until I find a place for the Lord, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do our cats name us?
