They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard; Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. -As You Like It. Act ii. Sc. 7.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think miracles exist in part as gifts and in part as clues that there is something beyond the flat ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27567]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think miracles exist in part as gifts and in part as clues that there is something beyond the flat world we see.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One rose says more than the dozen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15845]]></link><description><![CDATA[One rose says more than the dozen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That which offends the ear will not easily gainadmission to the mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21320]]></link><description><![CDATA[That which offends the ear will not easily gainadmission to the mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Simplicity is the nature of great souls. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56336]]></link><description><![CDATA[Simplicity is the nature of great souls.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Honest bread is very well--it's the butter that makes the temptation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58901]]></link><description><![CDATA[Honest bread is very well--it's the butter that makes the temptation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Briefly, that teaching contains the following elements: (1) There is one living and true God (i.9); (2) Idolatry is sinful ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7979]]></link><description><![CDATA[Briefly, that teaching contains the following elements: (1) There is one living and true God (i.9); (2) Idolatry is sinful and must be forsaken (i.9); (3) The wrath of God is ready to be revealed against the heathen for their impurity (iv.6), and against the Jews for their rejection of Christ and their opposition to the Gospel (ii.15,16); (4) The judgment will come suddenly and unexpectedly (v.2,3); (5) Jesus, the Son of God (i.1O), given over to death (v.10), and raised from the dead (iv.14), is the Saviour from the wrath of God (i.10); (6) The Kingdom of Jesus is now set up and all men are invited to enter it (ii.12); (7) Those who believe and turn to God are now expecting the coming of the Savior who will return from Heaven to receive them (i.10; iv.15-17); (8) Meanwhile, their life must be pure (iv.1-8), useful (iv.11-12), and watchful (v.14-8); (9) To that end, God has given them His Holy Spirit (iv.8; v.19).

For to be vain, or proud, or covetous, or ambitious, in the common course of our business, is as contrary to these holy tempers of Christianity as cheating and dishonesty. If a glutton were to say, in excuse of his gluttony, that he only eats such things as it is lawful to eat, he would make as good an excuse for himself as the greedy, covetous, ambitious tradesman that would say that he only deals in lawful business. For, as a Christian is not only required to be honest, but to be of a Christian spirit, and make his life an exercise of humility, repentance, and heavenly affection, so all tempers that are contrary to these are as contrary to Christianity as cheating is contrary to honesty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never make a defense or an apology until you are accused. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2711]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never make a defense or an apology until you are accused.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's worked very hard on all fronts in the state. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36491]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's worked very hard on all fronts in the state.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we can reach unity between all the components of the people, the canals of terrorism will dry up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37413]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we can reach unity between all the components of the people, the canals of terrorism will dry up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The danger is not that a particular class is unfit to govern.

Its core was the conviction that, in thus extending the range of western liberal culture and developing its assumptions, they were in effect establishing on earth that which would grow into the kingdom of God. Some put it sharply but un-Biblically: "building the kingdom"; others, of a more secular turn of mind, echoed J. A. Symonds' hymn, "These Things Shall Be". That whole view exists today only as debris, for it has foundered on the rocks, not so much of human sin, as of the contradictions and complexities of the very western culture that was the substance of its belief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A fool boasts of those who fear him; a wise man's pride is those who respect him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15521]]></link><description><![CDATA[A fool boasts of those who fear him; a wise man's pride is those who respect him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the silhouette of the kimono costume will become engraved in people's minds.
