Failure on this part should mean failure on the whole exam. It is absolutely disgraceful that we expect missionaries to the Bantus to learn Bantu, but never ask whether our missionaries to the Americans or English can speak American or English. Any fool can write learned language: the vernacular is the real test. If you can't turn your faith into it, then either you don't understand it or you don't believe it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That thou art blamed shall not be thy defect, For slander's mark was ever yet the fair;  The ornament ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56555]]></link><description><![CDATA[That thou art blamed shall not be thy defect, For slander's mark was ever yet the fair;  The ornament of beauty is suspect,   A crow that flies in heaven's sweetest air.    So thou be good, slander doth but approve     Thy worth the greater, being wooed of time;      For canker vice the sweetest buds doth love,       And thou present'st a pure unstained prime.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The heart of kings is unsearchable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48666]]></link><description><![CDATA[The heart of kings is unsearchable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little Kitchin makes a large house. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49047]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little Kitchin makes a large house.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Luxury is the first, second and third cause of the ruin of republics.

That is good, as far as it goes... But better still is the advice to study the Bible objectively, ... without regard, first of all, to our own subjective needs. Let the great passages fix themselves in our memory. Let them stay there permanently, like bright beacons, launching their powerful shafts of light upon life's problems -- our own and everyone's -- as they illumine, now one, now another dark area of human life. Following such a method, we discover that the Bible does "speak to our condition" and meet our needs, not just occasionally or when some emergency arises, but continually.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The declaration that our People are hostile to a government made by themselves, for themselves, and conducted by themselves, is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17972]]></link><description><![CDATA[The declaration that our People are hostile to a government made by themselves, for themselves, and conducted by themselves, is an insult.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conscience is the inner voice that warns us somebody may be looking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9804]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conscience is the inner voice that warns us somebody may be looking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Six months later, when it becomes the generic company Wild West show, the price tends to drop to about 20 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31165]]></link><description><![CDATA[Six months later, when it becomes the generic company Wild West show, the price tends to drop to about 20 percent of the [branded] price.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sing!
