I predict that it will in the future be read, as it always has been read, almost exclusively by Christians.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am often surprised by the cleverness, and now and again by the stupidity of my dog; and I have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58375]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am often surprised by the cleverness, and now and again by the stupidity of my dog; and I have similar experiences with mankind]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58375</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first step to leadership is servanthood. -John Maxwell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24489]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first step to leadership is servanthood. -John Maxwell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The proper study of mankind is books. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63747]]></link><description><![CDATA[The proper study of mankind is books.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You become a good writer just as you become a good joiner: by planing down your sentences. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62390]]></link><description><![CDATA[You become a good writer just as you become a good joiner: by planing down your sentences.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our ignorance of history makes us libel our own times.
