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[Commemoration of William Morris, Artist, Writer, 1896 Commemoration of George Kennedy Bell, Bishop of Chichester, Ecumenist, Peacemaker, 1958  We ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7201]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Morris, Artist, Writer, 1896 Commemoration of George Kennedy Bell, Bishop of Chichester, Ecumenist, Peacemaker, 1958  We admit no faith to be justifying, which is not itself and in its own nature a spiritually vital principle of obedience and good works.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're better than Belgium ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41157]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're better than Belgium]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We cease loving ourselves if no one loves us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2151]]></link><description><![CDATA[We cease loving ourselves if no one loves us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Meton: With the straight ruler I set to work to make the circle four-cornered. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17373]]></link><description><![CDATA[Meton: With the straight ruler I set to work to make the circle four-cornered.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best advisers, helpers and friends, always are not those who tell us how to act in special cases, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/976]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best advisers, helpers and friends, always are not those who tell us how to act in special cases, but who give us, out of themselves, the ardent spirit and desire to act right, and leave us then, even through many blunders, to find out what our own form of right action is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Augustine, first Archbishop of Canterbury, 605  Wherever there are three persons, even though they are laymen, there ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6226]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Augustine, first Archbishop of Canterbury, 605  Wherever there are three persons, even though they are laymen, there is the church.
