But he could not read Latin, and so the Scriptures were a closed book to him. However, he hired two money-minded priests, who, in violation of strict regulations, translated the Bible for him into Provençal, the language of southern France. The content of the Word of God made such an impression upon this earnest man that he gave up his business, took upon himself a vow of poverty, and dedicated himself to the simple preaching of the contents of God's Word.  The Latin of the Church only mystified its hearers [but] Waldo's humble preaching edified the souls of men. His words were not spectacular but powerful, as he pleaded with them to repent. Much of his preaching and that of his followers consisted in reciting long passages of Scripture in the vernacular. Many of them could not afford an expensive handwritten copy of the Bible, and the ecclesiastical authorities could too easily rob them of such a book; but they could not erase the words which were treasured in the heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every day in thy life is a leaf in thy history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50981]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every day in thy life is a leaf in thy history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You won't find candy bars in vending machines in our schools anywhere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40764]]></link><description><![CDATA[You won't find candy bars in vending machines in our schools anywhere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40764</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A happy family is but an earlier heaven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21597]]></link><description><![CDATA[A happy family is but an earlier heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hypocrisy: prejudice with a halo ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20214]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hypocrisy: prejudice with a halo]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never letting the competition define you.

Do not take up the vain excuse of your rawness of inexperience which you may imagine or assume. For sterile modesty is never pleasing, not that humility laudable which passes the bounds of reason. Attend to your work; drive out bashfulness by a sense of duty, and act as a master. But I am not sufficient for these things, you say. As if your offering were not accepted from what you have, and not from what you have not. Be prepared to answer for the single talent committed to your charge, and take no thought for the test. For he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Give all, as assuredly you shall pay to the uttermost farthing; but of a truth out of what you have, not what you have not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know every reporter there will be looking for that statement.

Not always; sometimes He, Who knoweth best, in kindness leadeth me In weary ways, where heavy shadows be. And "by still waters" ? No, not always so; Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me blow, And o'er my soul the waves and billows go. But when the storm beats loudest, and I cry Aloud for help, the Master standeth by, And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I." So, where He leads me, I can safely go, And in the blest hereafter I shall know Why, in His wisdom, He hath led me so.  ... Anonymous    July 24, 1998  Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471  If thou shalt remain faithful and zealous in labour, doubt not that God shall be faithful and bountiful in rewarding thee.
