I would wish that all women -- girls even -- would read the Gospels and the letters of Paul. I wish that they were translated into all languages of all people. To make them understood is surely the first step. It may be that they might be ridiculed by many, but some would take them to heart. I long that the husbandman should sing portions of them to himself as he follows the plough, that the weaver should hum them to the tune of his shuttle, that the traveller should beguile with their stories the tedium of his journey.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The city is huge.

There is an apparent contradiction here, for how can we abide, and yet advance? It is a paradox, like much else in scripture; but Christian experience proves it true. Those make the best progress in religion who hold fast by the faith once for all delivered to the saints, and not those who drift away from their moorings, rudderless upon a sea of doubt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Can you not see that it is the INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM and not the "boss" which must be changed?" ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4758]]></link><description><![CDATA["Can you not see that it is the INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM and not the "boss" which must be changed?"]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Envy feeds on the living.
