Each part of the Scripture is to be read with the same Spirit wherewith it was written. We should rather search after profit in Scriptures, than subtilty of speech. We ought to read plain and devout books as willingly as high and profound. Let not the authority of the writer offend thee, whether he be of great or small learning; but let the love of pure truth draw thee to read. Search not who spoke this or that, but mark what is spoken. Men pass away, but the truth of the Lord remaineth forever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On the green banks of Shannon, when Sheelah was nigh, No blithe Irish lad was so happy as I;  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12653]]></link><description><![CDATA[On the green banks of Shannon, when Sheelah was nigh, No blithe Irish lad was so happy as I;  No harp like my own could so cheerily play,   And wherever I went was my poor dog Tray.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't tell a woman she's pretty; tell her there's no other woman like her, and all roads will open to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9254]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't tell a woman she's pretty; tell her there's no other woman like her, and all roads will open to you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have had dreams, and I have had nightmares.
