Misogyny, the hatred of women, had become a strong element in medieval Christianity. Women who menstruate, and give birth, were identified with sexuality and therefore with evil. "All witchcraft stems from carnal lust, which is in women insatiable," stated the Malleus Maleficarum.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every law is an infraction of liberty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24710]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every law is an infraction of liberty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our universities are so determined to impose tolerance that they'll expel you for saying what you think and never notice ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60242]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our universities are so determined to impose tolerance that they'll expel you for saying what you think and never notice the irony]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wretched hasten to hear of their own miseries. [Lat., Miserias properant suas  Audire miseri.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42768]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wretched hasten to hear of their own miseries. [Lat., Miserias properant suas  Audire miseri.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51389]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Autumn Into earth's lap does throw  Brown apples gay in a game of play,   As the equinoctials ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3565]]></link><description><![CDATA[Autumn Into earth's lap does throw  Brown apples gay in a game of play,   As the equinoctials blow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The (penalty kill) has been doing a great job all year.

I had the opportunity to serve as a bishop in a campus ward while I was still an assistant coach. When I was appointed head football coach in 1972, I decided to approach my role as a coach much the same as I did as a bishop, delegating responsibility to my assistants, putting responsibility on the players for self-improvement in all aspects of their lives, and using personal interviews with players to try to give positive reinforcement and encouragement so that they might do their very best and reach their full potential, both on and off the field.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bad dog never sees the Wolfe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49001]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bad dog never sees the Wolfe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go.

When we select for serious consideration those doctrines which "transcend" the thought of his own age and are "for all time", we are assuming that the thought of our age is correct: for of course by thoughts which transcend the great man's age we really mean thoughts that agree with ours. Thus I value Shakespeare's picture of the transformation in old Lear more than I value his views about the divine right of kings, because I agree with Shakespeare that a man can be purified by suffering like Lear, but do not believe that kings (or any other rulers) have divine right in the sense required. When the great man's views do not seem to us erroneous we do not value them the less for having been shared with his contemporaries. Shakespeare's disdain for treachery and Christ's blessing on the poor were not alien to the outlook of their respective periods; but no one wishes to discredit them on that account.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best way I know of to win an argument is to start by being in the right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3066]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best way I know of to win an argument is to start by being in the right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Aelred of Hexham, Abbot of Rievaulx, 1167 Commemoration of Benedict Biscop, Abbot of Wearmouth, Scholar, 689   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7310]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Aelred of Hexham, Abbot of Rievaulx, 1167 Commemoration of Benedict Biscop, Abbot of Wearmouth, Scholar, 689   I think I have never heard a sermon preached on the story of Mary and Martha that did not attempt, somehow, somewhere, to explain away its text. Mary's, of course, was the better part -- the Lord said so, and we must not precisely contradict Him. But we will be careful not to despise Martha. No doubt, He approved of her, too. We could not get on without her, and indeed, having paid lip-service to God's opinion, we must admit that we greatly prefer her, for Martha was doing a really feminine job, whereas Mary was just behaving like any other disciple; and that is a hard pill to swallow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hate writing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28610]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hate writing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If... you are ever tempted to think that we modern Western Europeans cannot really be so very bad because we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8513]]></link><description><![CDATA[If... you are ever tempted to think that we modern Western Europeans cannot really be so very bad because we are, comparatively speaking, humane -- if, in other words, you think God might be content with us on that ground -- ask yourself whether you think God ought to have been content with the cruelty of past ages because they excelled in courage or chastity. You will see at once that this is an impossibility. From considering how the cruelty of our ancestors looks to us, you may get some inkling of how our softness, worldliness, and timidity would have looked to them, and hence how both must look to God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I loathe narcissism, but I approve of vanity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64593]]></link><description><![CDATA[I loathe narcissism, but I approve of vanity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't forget I know who you are.
