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[The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45326]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In everything satiety closely follows the greatest pleasures. [Lat., Omnibus in rebus voluptatibus maximis fastidium finitimum est.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46696]]></link><description><![CDATA[In everything satiety closely follows the greatest pleasures. [Lat., Omnibus in rebus voluptatibus maximis fastidium finitimum est.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is born to seek power, yet his actual condition makes him a slave to the power of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47972]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is born to seek power, yet his actual condition makes him a slave to the power of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can only hold a smile for so long, after that it's just teeth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65695]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can only hold a smile for so long, after that it's just teeth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bureaucracy is the art of making the possible impossible ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4983]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bureaucracy is the art of making the possible impossible]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is difficult to spear to the belly, because it has no ears. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20148]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is difficult to spear to the belly, because it has no ears.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As the ostrich when pursued hideth his head, but forgetteth his body; so the fears of a coward expose him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28580]]></link><description><![CDATA[As the ostrich when pursued hideth his head, but forgetteth his body; so the fears of a coward expose him to danger.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...anyone who writes about "Darwin's theory of evolution" in the singular, without segregating the theories of gradual evolution, common descent, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57081]]></link><description><![CDATA[...anyone who writes about "Darwin's theory of evolution" in the singular, without segregating the theories of gradual evolution, common descent, speciation, and the mechanism of natural selection, will be quite unable to discuss the subject competently.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57081</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that will win his dame must do As love does when he draws his bow;  With one hand ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62005]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that will win his dame must do As love does when he draws his bow;  With one hand thrust the lady from,   And with the other pull her home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once they got to her house, he asked to come in and use the bathroom.
