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[I have seen all, I have heard all, I have forgotten all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41602]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have seen all, I have heard all, I have forgotten all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Christ, my life, possess me utterly.
