The distinction is not an imaginary one. Between the scribe who has read and the prophet who has seen, there is a difference as wide as the sea. We are today overrun with orthodox scribes; but the prophets, where are they? The hard voice of the scribe sounds over evangelicalism, but the Church waits for the tender voice of the saint who has penetrated the veil and has gazed with inward eye upon the Wonder that is God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Keep a good table and attend to the ladies. [Fr., Tenez bonne table et soignez les femmes.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13239]]></link><description><![CDATA[Keep a good table and attend to the ladies. [Fr., Tenez bonne table et soignez les femmes.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the real trouble comes when people continue 'holiday eating mode' after the holidays, ...
