No wonder he should venerate the Bible, which had brought this blessed help to him. He prized it as the Word of the Highest must be prized by such a man. He determined to hold by that, as through life and to death he firmly did.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have a good eye, uncle; I can see a church by day-light. -Much Ado about Nothing.
