What is foreign to us is not the body but corruptibility.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here's to Great Britain, the sun that gives light to all nations of the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59377]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here's to Great Britain, the sun that gives light to all nations of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science may eventually explain the world of How.
