We demand, as the apostle demanded, that he must hold fast the faithful word -- at least, so far as that he shall not write deliberate heresy in his examination papers, and shall profess belief in the Creed. We demand, as he demanded, that the candidate must be apt to teach -- at least, so far as an examination of his verbal memory can prove that he knows what he ought to teach. But there is some difference between the "without reproach" of the apostle and our testimonials; and there is a difference between the holding fast of the faith by a man tried in the furnace of life, and the soundness in the faith of a youth fresh from a theological school; and the aptness to teach of a man of experience and social authority is not quite the same thing as the aptness to teach of a young man who has just passed an examination in the subject-matter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Socialism: nothing more than the theory that the slave is always more virtuous than his master ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56744]]></link><description><![CDATA[Socialism: nothing more than the theory that the slave is always more virtuous than his master]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56744</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But the waiting time, my brothers, Is the hardest time of all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45717]]></link><description><![CDATA[But the waiting time, my brothers, Is the hardest time of all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not good to know more unless we do more with what we already know. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1197]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not good to know more unless we do more with what we already know.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61463]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The market has gone berserk.

If only their being were good, their works would shine forth brightly. Do not imagine that you can ground your salvation upon actions; it must rest on what you are. The ground upon which good character rests is the very same ground from which man's work derives its value, namely, a mind wholly turned to God. Verily, if you were so minded, you might tread on a stone and it would be a more pious work than if you, simply for your own profit, were to receive the Body of the Lord and were wanting in spiritual detachment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Indecision may or may not be my problem. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20709]]></link><description><![CDATA[Indecision may or may not be my problem.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17739]]></link><description><![CDATA[And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17739</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone is a genius at least once a year.

However, not every one of them is inhabited. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely products of a deranged imagination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[61 died that day in the 1st infantry..in Vietnam.. two? rows of body bags.. the fruit of war...drying in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/218]]></link><description><![CDATA[61 died that day in the 1st infantry..in Vietnam.. two? rows of body bags.. the fruit of war...drying in the sun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In nothing do men so much resemble the gods as in giving help to their fellow creatures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48843]]></link><description><![CDATA[In nothing do men so much resemble the gods as in giving help to their fellow creatures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm in favor of immigration but we also need rules. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35303]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm in favor of immigration but we also need rules.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be good and you will be lonesome. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60815]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be good and you will be lonesome.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The truth is cruel, but it can be loved and it makes free those who have loved it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59841]]></link><description><![CDATA[The truth is cruel, but it can be loved and it makes free those who have loved it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes a scream is better than a thesis. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59098]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes a scream is better than a thesis.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man needs, for his happiness, not only the enjoyment of this or that, but hope and enterprise and change. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19802]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man needs, for his happiness, not only the enjoyment of this or that, but hope and enterprise and change.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19802</guid></item></channel></rss>
