We demand, as the apostle demanded, that he must hold fast the faithful word -- at least, so far as that he shall not write deliberate heresy in his examination papers, and shall profess belief in the Creed. We demand, as he demanded, that the candidate must be apt to teach -- at least, so far as an examination of his verbal memory can prove that he knows what he ought to teach. But there is some difference between the "without reproach" of the apostle and our testimonials; and there is a difference between the holding fast of the faith by a man tried in the furnace of life, and the soundness in the faith of a youth fresh from a theological school; and the aptness to teach of a man of experience and social authority is not quite the same thing as the aptness to teach of a young man who has just passed an examination in the subject-matter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes something worth doing is worth overdoing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62346]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes something worth doing is worth overdoing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bosom upon my counsel; You'll find it wholesome. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/791]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bosom upon my counsel; You'll find it wholesome.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we find a thinker reflecting or echoing an apparently erroneous, narrow, or even illogical thought that was popular or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52176]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we find a thinker reflecting or echoing an apparently erroneous, narrow, or even illogical thought that was popular or authoritative in his time, we must never rule out the possibility that what we have discovered is not the limit of his vision but only an example of his deliberate rhetorical accommodation to reigning prejudice which he does not share but thinks it best not to expose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The earth is mankind's ultimate haven, our blessed terra firma.

Each was so well pleased with his bargain that they made for some time the same exchange day after day.
