Now, mind you, that is quite true; but it tells you much less than the whole truth about Christianity, and it has no practical importance at all. It is quite true that, if we took Christ's advice, we should soon be living in a happier world. You need not even go as far as Christ. If we did all that... Confucius told us, we should get on a great deal better than we do. And so what?... If Christianity only means one more bit of good advice, then Christianity is of no importance. There has been no lack of good advice for the last four thousand years. A bit more makes no difference.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women do most delight in revenge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54080]]></link><description><![CDATA[Women do most delight in revenge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People like port because it's got a really interesting flavour - it's rich.
