Each part of the Scripture is to be read with the same Spirit wherewith it was written. We should rather search after profit in Scriptures, than subtilty of speech. We ought to read plain and devout books as willingly as high and profound. Let not the authority of the writer offend thee, whether he be of great or small learning; but let the love of pure truth draw thee to read. Search not who spoke this or that, but mark what is spoken. Men pass away, but the truth of the Lord remaineth forever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am from Massachusetts, The land of the sacred cod,  There the Adamses snub the Abootts   And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59382]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am from Massachusetts, The land of the sacred cod,  There the Adamses snub the Abootts   And the Cabots walk with God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rather go to bed supperless than rise in debt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11509]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rather go to bed supperless than rise in debt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tools we use have a profound (and devious!) influence on our thinking habits, and, therefore, on our thinking abilities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9521]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tools we use have a profound (and devious!) influence on our thinking habits, and, therefore, on our thinking abilities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One kiss breaches the distance between friendship and love ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16847]]></link><description><![CDATA[One kiss breaches the distance between friendship and love]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have faith in the boys.
