But he could not read Latin, and so the Scriptures were a closed book to him. However, he hired two money-minded priests, who, in violation of strict regulations, translated the Bible for him into Provençal, the language of southern France. The content of the Word of God made such an impression upon this earnest man that he gave up his business, took upon himself a vow of poverty, and dedicated himself to the simple preaching of the contents of God's Word.  The Latin of the Church only mystified its hearers [but] Waldo's humble preaching edified the souls of men. His words were not spectacular but powerful, as he pleaded with them to repent. Much of his preaching and that of his followers consisted in reciting long passages of Scripture in the vernacular. Many of them could not afford an expensive handwritten copy of the Bible, and the ecclesiastical authorities could too easily rob them of such a book; but they could not erase the words which were treasured in the heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm putting the island in a trust so that only blood relatives can live on it for the next 360 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33350]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm putting the island in a trust so that only blood relatives can live on it for the next 360 years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All things truly wicked start from innocence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63429]]></link><description><![CDATA[All things truly wicked start from innocence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alas! the small discredit of a bribe Scarce hurts the lawyer, but undoes the scribe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4905]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alas! the small discredit of a bribe Scarce hurts the lawyer, but undoes the scribe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And so I missed those best years and I find it difficult for me, in groups, to be comfortable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34231]]></link><description><![CDATA[And so I missed those best years and I find it difficult for me, in groups, to be comfortable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Habits are cobwebs at first; cables at last. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18567]]></link><description><![CDATA[Habits are cobwebs at first; cables at last.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone. -Coco Chanel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4034]]></link><description><![CDATA[How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone. -Coco Chanel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poets are sultans, if they had their will: For every author would his brother kill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46841]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poets are sultans, if they had their will: For every author would his brother kill.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're not really going to throw much new stuff at you on a Wednesday but there's still some stuff we've ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32811]]></link><description><![CDATA[They're not really going to throw much new stuff at you on a Wednesday but there's still some stuff we've got to change up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will show myself highly fed and lowly taught. -All 's Well that Ends Well.
