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 things most people want to know about are usually none of their business. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17907]]></link><description><![CDATA[The things most people want to know about are usually none of their business.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anything that has been accomplished by any other human being in thephysical realm is within the field of possibility. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21617]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anything that has been accomplished by any other human being in thephysical realm is within the field of possibility.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't like formal gardens.

But the only time that is surely yours is the present, hence this is the time to speak the word of appreciation and sympathy, to do the generous deed, to forgive the fault of a thoughtless friend, to sacrifice self a little more for others. Today is the day in which to express your noblest qualities of mind and heart, to do at least one worthy thing which you have long postponed, and to use your God-given abilities for the enrichment of someone less fortunate. Today you can make your life - significant and worthwhile. The present is yours to do with as you will. -Grenville Kleiser.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it.
