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[We've built crude supplies far in excess of what the market is expecting and that should weigh on prices. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28413]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've built crude supplies far in excess of what the market is expecting and that should weigh on prices.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can look back on your life with contentment, you have one of man's most precious gifts -- a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9992]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can look back on your life with contentment, you have one of man's most precious gifts -- a selective memory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or to get all the credit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24421]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or to get all the credit for doing it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thrice happy's the wooing that's not long adoing. So much time is saved in the billing and cooing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61994]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thrice happy's the wooing that's not long adoing. So much time is saved in the billing and cooing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Through our willingness to help others we can learn to be happy rather than depressed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60961]]></link><description><![CDATA[Through our willingness to help others we can learn to be happy rather than depressed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The musician who always plays on the same string is laughed at. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43501]]></link><description><![CDATA[The musician who always plays on the same string is laughed at.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47503]]></link><description><![CDATA[Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule--and both commonly succeed, and are right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True glory takes root, and even spreads; all false pretences, like flowers, fall to the ground; nor can any counterfeit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17566]]></link><description><![CDATA[True glory takes root, and even spreads; all false pretences, like flowers, fall to the ground; nor can any counterfeit last long.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man should happen to reach perfection in this world, he would have to die immediately to enjoy himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46109]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man should happen to reach perfection in this world, he would have to die immediately to enjoy himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the truest tests of integrity is its blunt refusal to be compromised. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22862]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the truest tests of integrity is its blunt refusal to be compromised.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Condemn the fault, and not the actor of it? -Measure for Measure.
