It can happen to anyone who is prepared to abandon proof-texts and a closed attitude of mind, and allow not merely the stories but the quality of the Figure Who exists behind the stories to meet him afresh. Neat snippets of a few verses are of course useful in their way, but the overall sweep and much of the significance of the Gospel narratives are lost to us unless we are prepared to read the Gospels through, not once but several times.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These signs have marked me extraordinary, And all the courses of my life do show  I am not in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9612]]></link><description><![CDATA[These signs have marked me extraordinary, And all the courses of my life do show  I am not in the roll of common men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bad men are full of repentance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53847]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bad men are full of repentance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was October 15, 1986.

Grieving over his loss, the Father resolved to kill the Snake. The next day, when it came out of its hole for food, he took up his axe, but by swinging too hastily, missed its head and cut off only the end of its tail. After some time the Cottager, afraid that the Snake would bite him also, endeavored to make peace, and placed some bread and salt in the hole. The Snake, slightly hissing, said: There can henceforth be no peace between us; for whenever I see you I shall remember the loss of my tail, and whenever you see me you will be thinking of the death of your son. No one truly forgets injuries in the presence of him who caused the injury.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And what art thou, thou idol Ceremony? What kind of god art thou, that suffer'st more  Of mortal griefs ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5443]]></link><description><![CDATA[And what art thou, thou idol Ceremony? What kind of god art thou, that suffer'st more  Of mortal griefs than do thy worshippers?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[More important than the quest for certainty is the quest for clarity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52718]]></link><description><![CDATA[More important than the quest for certainty is the quest for clarity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace with a club in hand is war. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45931]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace with a club in hand is war.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So lonely 'twas that God himself Scarce seemed there to be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25471]]></link><description><![CDATA[So lonely 'twas that God himself Scarce seemed there to be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All right.
