The world is in sore need of men who can do things. Indeed, cases can easily be recalled by every one where Opportunity actually smashed in the door and collared her candidate and dragged him forth to success. These cases are exceptional, usually you have to meet Opportunity half-way. But the only place where you can get away from Opportunity is to lie down and die. Opportunity does not trouble dead men, or dead ones who flatter themselves that they are alive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45076</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a melancholy of mine own, compounded of many simples, extracted from many objects, and indeed the sundry contemplation ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55674]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a melancholy of mine own, compounded of many simples, extracted from many objects, and indeed the sundry contemplation of my travels, in which my often rumination wraps me in a most humorous sadness. -As You Like It.

In these Books we shall find the father from whom, the son by whom, and the holy Ghost in whom all things have their being and keeping up, and these three persons to be but one God, and one substance.   Read [Holy Scripture] humbly with a meek and lowly heart, to the intent you may glorify God, and not your self, with the knowledge of it: and read it not without daily praying to God, that he would direct your reading to good effect: and take upon you to expound it no further than you can plainly understand it. For (as Saint Augustine says) the knowledge of holy Scripture is a great, large, and a high place, but the door is very low, so that the high & arrogant man cannot run in: but he must stoop low, and humble himself, that shall enter into it... The humble man may search any truth boldly in the Scripture, without any danger of error. (Continued tomorrow)   ... "A Fruitful exhortation to the reading of holy Scripture", from the Anglican Homilies [1562]  March 4, 2001 Commemoration of Felix, Bishop, Apostle to the East Angles, 647 Continuing a short series of testimonies on the Scriptures:   Scripture in some places is easy, and in some places hard to be understood. This have I said, as touching the fear to read, through ignorance of the person. And concerning the hardness of Scripture, he that is so weak that he is not able to [eat] strong meat, yet he may suck the sweet and tender milk, and defer the rest, until he wax stronger, and come to more knowledge. For God receives the learned and unlearned, and casts away none, but [does not discriminate]. And the Scripture is full as well of low valleys, plain ways, and easy for every man to use, and to walk in: as also of high hills & mountains, which few men can climb unto.   ... "A Fruitful exhortation to the reading of holy Scripture", from the Anglican Homilies [1562]  March 5, 2001 Continuing a short series of testimonies on the Scriptures:   We are to believe and follow Christ in all things, including his words about Scripture. And this means that Scripture is to be for us what it was to him: the unique, authoritative, and inerrant Word of God, and not merely a human testimony to Christ, however carefully guided and preserved by God. If the Bible is less than this to us, we are not fully Christ's disciples.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We lose that ability to connect with individuals who have that insight and could help us navigate through (government). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42461]]></link><description><![CDATA[We lose that ability to connect with individuals who have that insight and could help us navigate through (government).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anthropology is the most humanistic of the sciences and the most scientific of the humanities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2659]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anthropology is the most humanistic of the sciences and the most scientific of the humanities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are easier things in life than trying to find a nice guy...like nailing jelly to a tree for example ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61901]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are easier things in life than trying to find a nice guy...like nailing jelly to a tree for example]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's been our key all year.
