Any obedience is better than none. You have to seek His face; obedience is the only way of seeing Him. All your duties are obediences. To do what He bids is to obey Him, and to obey Him is to approach Him. Every act of obedience is an approach -- an approach to Him who is not far off, though He seems so, but close behind this visible screen of things hiding Him from us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Benedict of Nursia, Father of Western Monasticism, c.550 Continuing a short series on education:   We demand, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7873]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Benedict of Nursia, Father of Western Monasticism, c.550 Continuing a short series on education:   We demand, as [St. Paul] did, that the candidate must be of good moral character -- at least, so far as that he can produce testimonials to his good conduct. 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[A hospital should also have a recovery room adjoining the cashier's office. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19879]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hospital should also have a recovery room adjoining the cashier's office.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Example is not the main thing in influencing others.
