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[Boys are beyond the range of anybody's sure understanding, at least when they are between the ages of 18 months ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4800]]></link><description><![CDATA[Boys are beyond the range of anybody's sure understanding, at least when they are between the ages of 18 months and 90 years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Bray, Priest, Founder of SPCK, 1730   I have held many things in my hands, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8241]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Bray, Priest, Founder of SPCK, 1730   I have held many things in my hands, and have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What you would not have done to yourselves, never do unto others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51216]]></link><description><![CDATA[What you would not have done to yourselves, never do unto others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death is patiently making my mask as I sleep.

We do not need to speculate on what heaven will be like. It is enough to know that we will be for ever with Him. When we love anyone with our whole hearts, life begins when we are with that person; it is only in their company that we are really and truly alive. It is so with Christ. In this world our contact with Him is shadowy, for we can only see through a glass darkly. It is spasmodic, for we are poor creatures and cannot live always on the heights. But the best definition of it is to say that heaven is that state where we will always be with Jesus, and where nothing will separate us from Him any more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17116]]></link><description><![CDATA[My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Either this wallpaper goes, or I do! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24146]]></link><description><![CDATA[Either this wallpaper goes, or I do!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24146</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We think the drinking water on aircraft is safe to drink and has been. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39580]]></link><description><![CDATA[We think the drinking water on aircraft is safe to drink and has been.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always want to have more dancers in my company. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29021]]></link><description><![CDATA[I always want to have more dancers in my company.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hear and I forget.

It has failed to understand that the world is not for the beholding. It is for hearing. It is not legible, but audible.
