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[Although the last, not least. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51556]]></link><description><![CDATA[Although the last, not least.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Patrick, Bishop of Armagh, Missionary, Patron of Ireland, c.460  It is generally true that all that is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6448]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Patrick, Bishop of Armagh, Missionary, Patron of Ireland, c.460  It is generally true that all that is required to make men unmindful of what they owe God for any blessing is that they should receive that blessing often and regularly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When compassion for the common man was born on Christmas Day, with it was born new hope among the multitudes. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6565]]></link><description><![CDATA[When compassion for the common man was born on Christmas Day, with it was born new hope among the multitudes.

The reason is simple. Those attitudes and practices to which we give the collective name of religion are themselves concerned with religion hardly at all. To be religious is to have one's attention fixed on God and on one's neighbour in relation to God. Therefore, almost by definition, a religious man, or a man when he is being religious, is not thinking about religion; he hasn't the time. Religion is what we (or he himself at a later moment) call his activity from outside.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that makes his bed ill, lies there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49377]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that makes his bed ill, lies there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Basil the Great & Gregory Nazianzen, Bishops, Teachers, 379 & 389 Commemoration of Seraphim, Monk of Sarov, Mystic, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8094]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Basil the Great & Gregory Nazianzen, Bishops, Teachers, 379 & 389 Commemoration of Seraphim, Monk of Sarov, Mystic, Staretz, 1833   I have seen minute-glasses: glasses so short liv'd! If I were to preach upon this text ("For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Matt. 6:21), to such a glass, it would be enough for half the sermon, enough to show the worldly man his treasure, and the object of his Heart, to call his eye to that minute-glass, and to tell him, "There flows, there flies, your treasure, and your heart with it."   But if I had a secular glass, a glass that would run an age; if the two hemispheres of the world were composed in the form of such a glass, and all the world burnt to ashes, and all the ashes, and the sands, and atoms of the world put into that glass, it would not be enough to tell the godly man what his treasure, and the object of his heart is. A parrot will sooner be brought to relate to us the wisdom of a council table, than any Ambrose, or any Chrysostom, men that have gold and honey in their names, shall tell us what the treasure of heaven is, and that man's peace, that hath set his Heart upon that treasure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thinking is more interesting than knowing, but less interesting than looking ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44777]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thinking is more interesting than knowing, but less interesting than looking]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We hold these truths to be sacred & undeniable; that all men are created equal & independant, that from that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11639]]></link><description><![CDATA[We hold these truths to be sacred & undeniable; that all men are created equal & independant, that from that equal creation they derive rights inherent & inalienable, among which are the preservation of life, & liberty, & the pursuit of happiness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vice is a monster of so frightful mien, As to be hated need but to be seen;  Yet seen ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60507]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vice is a monster of so frightful mien, As to be hated need but to be seen;  Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,   We first endure, then pity, then embrace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people get a fair amount of fun out of their lives, but on balance life is suffering, and only ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25021]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most people get a fair amount of fun out of their lives, but on balance life is suffering, and only the very sound or the very foolish imagine otherwise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65985]]></link><description><![CDATA[You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It doesn't surprise me.
