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[If you asked me to name the three scariest threats facing the human race, I would give the same answer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17519]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you asked me to name the three scariest threats facing the human race, I would give the same answer that most people would: nuclear war, global warming and Windows.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9741]]></link><description><![CDATA[The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's not a string attuned to mirth, But has its chord in melancholy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50169]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's not a string attuned to mirth, But has its chord in melancholy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If this be treason, make the most of it! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66339]]></link><description><![CDATA[If this be treason, make the most of it!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is a kisse?
