The phrases are in languages throughout Europe: the devil's hoof, the devil's horn mark. It reaches back to early Christianity and the middle ages. Where a child was born out of wedlock, the church cooked up the impression that you'd done something sinful, and something dreadful would result. You will still find, particularly in Greece, people doing a little sign when they see a very badly disabled child ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Âœ it needs warding off.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How shall I lose the sin yet keep the sense, And love th' offender, yet detest the offence? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56396]]></link><description><![CDATA[How shall I lose the sin yet keep the sense, And love th' offender, yet detest the offence?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56396</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our struggle today is not to have a female Einstein get appointed as an assistant professor.

Fear is nobler than sensuality. Fear is better than no God, better than a god made with hands. In that fear lay deep hidden the sense of the infinite. The worship of fear is true, though very low; and though not acceptable to God in itself -- for only the worship of spirit and of truth is acceptable to him -- yet even in His sight it is precious. For he regards men not as they are merely, but as they shall be; not as they shall be merely, but as they are now growing, or capable of growing, towards that image after which He made them that they might grow to it. Therefore a thousand stages, each in itself all but valueless, are of inestimable worth as the necessary and connected gradations of an infinite progress. A condition which of declension would indicate a devil, may of growth indicate a saint.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Failure is not our only punishment for laziness: there is also the success of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24398]]></link><description><![CDATA[Failure is not our only punishment for laziness: there is also the success of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that every person is born with talent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4079]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that every person is born with talent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easier to influence strong than weak characters in life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20874]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easier to influence strong than weak characters in life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're seeing the benefits of an experienced group and a group that's known each other for a long time.
