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[Do not stand on a high pedestal and take 5 cents in your hand and say, "here, my poor man", ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17496]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not stand on a high pedestal and take 5 cents in your hand and say, "here, my poor man", but be grateful that the poor man is there, so by making a gift to him you are able to help yourself.It is not the reciever that is blessed, but it is the giver.Be thankful that you are allowed to exercise your power of benevolence and mercy in the world, and thus become pure and perfect.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Gilbert of Sempringham, Founder of the Gilbertine Order, 1189  I love poverty because He loved it.

I love riches because they afford me the means of helping the very poor. I keep faith with everybody; I do not render evil to those who wrong me, but I wish them a situation like mine, in which I receive neither good nor evil from men. I try to be just, true, sincere, and faithful to all men; I have a tender heart for those to whom God has more closely united me; and whether I am alone, or seen by people, I do all my actions in the sight of God, who must judge them, and to whom I have consecrated them all. These are my sentiments; and every day of my life, I bless my Redeemer, who has implanted them in me, and who, out of a man full of weakness, of miseries, of lust, of pride, and of ambition, has made a man free from all these evils by the power of His grace, to which all the glory of it is due, as of myself I have only misery and error.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He makes a solitude, and calls it peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48741]]></link><description><![CDATA[He makes a solitude, and calls it peace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They are the best of the best ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Â good temperament, good medical background, good size. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36423]]></link><description><![CDATA[They are the best of the best ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Â good temperament, good medical background, good size.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The main objective I will have on behalf of this board is to keep Scripps in Palm Beach County.

Simone Weil  August 18, 2000   My biological work convinced me that the One who was declared dead by Nietzsche, and silent by Sartre, actually is very much alive and speaking to us through all things.  ... C. J. Briejèr, letter to Rachel Carson August 19, 2000   The Christian cell in a factory or a professional circle, funding its own activities, deciding its own pattern of work, studying the Bible and perhaps celebrating the Lord's supper as an entity on its own, comes very much closer to Independency as Robert Browne saw it than the unholy isolationism of a prosperous suburban church, with 200 members who scarcely know each other by sight. If a sizable proportion of the Free Church ministry were enabled to become itinerant once again -- not necessarily itinerant in the geographical sense, but itinerant in the complex mazes of contemporary society, fathers in God to Christian organisms evolved by the lay men and women who spend their lives in these mazes -- new heart would be put into both ministry and laity, and incidentally, new impetus given to the search for Christian unity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But when the sun in all his state, Illumed the eastern skies,  She passed through glory's morning gate,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11162]]></link><description><![CDATA[But when the sun in all his state, Illumed the eastern skies,  She passed through glory's morning gate,   And walked in Paradise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was my first time in front of the television cameras and my home crowd so I'm delighted by the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41741]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was my first time in front of the television cameras and my home crowd so I'm delighted by the way I played and the result,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I once made love for an hour and fifteen minutes, but it was the night the clocks are set ahead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55266]]></link><description><![CDATA[I once made love for an hour and fifteen minutes, but it was the night the clocks are set ahead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am the only person in the world I should like to know thoroughly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61849]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am the only person in the world I should like to know thoroughly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time is the Rider that breakes youth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time is the Rider that breakes youth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set outto accomplish it.

He should make this purpose the centralizing point ofhis thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be aworldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whicheverit is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object whichhe has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, andshould devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts towander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is theroyal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if hefails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily mustuntil weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be themeasure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point forfuture power and triumph.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have received the resignation letter from Duran, effective on August 31, and today the president designated Carlos Marin to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28969]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have received the resignation letter from Duran, effective on August 31, and today the president designated Carlos Marin to be acting United States commissioner.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63179]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I knew someone who remembers eating Sunday afternoon with their family then snapping out of it on Thursday while driving ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31728]]></link><description><![CDATA[I knew someone who remembers eating Sunday afternoon with their family then snapping out of it on Thursday while driving home from work.

And we have seen how rapidly they develop their own forms, their own structures of thought, of language, and of organisation. It would surely be a very unbiblical view of human nature and history to think -- as we so often, in our pagan way, do -- that this is just an example of the tendency of all things to slide down from a golden age to an age of iron, to identify the spiritual with the disembodied, and to regard visible structure as equivalent to sin. We must rather recognise here a testimony to the fact that Christianity is, in its very heart and essence, not a disembodied spirituality, but life in a visible fellowship, a life which makes such total claim upon us, and so engages our total powers, that nothing less than the closest and most binding association of men with one another can serve its purpose.  ... Lesslie Newbigin, The Household of God February 2, 2000 THE PRESENTATION OF CHRIST IN THE TEMPLE  Persons that are well affected to religion, that receive instructions of piety with pleasure and satisfaction, often wonder how it comes to pass that they make no greater progress in that religion which they so much admire. Now the reason of it is this: it is because religion lives only in their head, but something else has possession of their heart; and therefore they continue from year to year mere admirers and praisers of piety, without ever coming up to the reality and perfection of its precepts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet the success of plans and the advantage to be derived from them do not at all times agree, seeing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58123]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet the success of plans and the advantage to be derived from them do not at all times agree, seeing the gods claim to themselves the right to decide as to the final result. [Lat., Tametsi prosperitas simul utilitasque consultorum non obique concordent, quoniam captorum eventus superae sibi vindicant potestates.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that trusts in a lie, shall perish in truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49405]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that trusts in a lie, shall perish in truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Autumn wood the aster knows, The empty nest, the wind that grieves,  The sunlight breaking thro' the shade, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3386]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Autumn wood the aster knows, The empty nest, the wind that grieves,  The sunlight breaking thro' the shade,   The squirrel chattering overhead,    The timid rabbits lighter tread     Among the rustling leaves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the results of the Reformation,... which is somewhat difficult of explanation, was the attitude of the Protestant Church ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6716]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the results of the Reformation,... which is somewhat difficult of explanation, was the attitude of the Protestant Church of the Reformation to missions during the Reformation period (1517-1650). Having themselves been emancipated from the superstitions and slavery of a false doctrine and a harsh ecclesiastical government, it would be thought most natural that the Reformers and those who followed them should promptly turn their attention to spreading these glad tidings among non-Christian peoples; but here a strange anomaly is found in the fact that there had been hardly any period, in the entire history of the Christian Church, so destitute of any concerted effort to spread the gospel in heathen lands [as] just this period of the Reformation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To send light into the darkness of men's hearts - such is the duty of the artist. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3235]]></link><description><![CDATA[To send light into the darkness of men's hearts - such is the duty of the artist.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her reasoning is it was an accident from day one.
