Each part of Scripture, both open and dark, teaches meekness and charity; and therefore he that keeps meekness and charity has the true understanding and perfection of all Scripture. Therefore, no simple man of wit should be afraid to study in the text of Scripture. And no cleric should be proud of the true understanding of Scripture, because understanding of Scripture without charity that keeps God's commandments, makes a man deeper damned... and pride and covetousness of clerics is the cause of [the Church's] blindness and heresy, and deprives them of the true understanding of Scripture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Solitude would be ideal if you could pick the people to avoid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63262]]></link><description><![CDATA[Solitude would be ideal if you could pick the people to avoid.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spheres of influence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57843]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spheres of influence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A blind man can see his mouth ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4333]]></link><description><![CDATA[A blind man can see his mouth]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21850]]></link><description><![CDATA[Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God dropped a spark down into everyone, And if we find and fan it to a blaze,  It'll spring ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53821]]></link><description><![CDATA[God dropped a spark down into everyone, And if we find and fan it to a blaze,  It'll spring up and glow, like--like the sun,   And light the wandering out of stony ways.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Destiny is an invention of the cowardly and the resigned. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56900]]></link><description><![CDATA[Destiny is an invention of the cowardly and the resigned.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56900</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wyclif, Reformer, 1384  While sitting on the bank of a river one day, I picked up ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7219]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wyclif, Reformer, 1384  While sitting on the bank of a river one day, I picked up a solid round stone from the water and broke it open. It was perfectly dry in spite of the fact that it had been immersed in water for centuries. The same is true of many people in the Western world. For centuries they have been surrounded by Christianity; they live immersed in the waters of its benefits. And yet it has not penetrated their hearts; they do not love it. The fault is not in Christianity, but in men's hearts, which have been hardened by materialism and intellectualism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's their best athlete, number one pitcher and a good hitter too at the three hole in the lineup.

You are surrendering to love, because God is Love, the cohesive force of the universe that connects us all. Surrender is not just a religious concept; it's a power tool for listening to the voice of your spirit and following its directions. When you surrender your head to your heart, you allow your heart to give you a wider, higher intelligence perspective. Remember the phrase, "The real teacher is within you." Very simply, that teacher is to be found in the common sense of your own heart. -Sara Paddison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One can endure sorrow alone, but it takes two to be glad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25533]]></link><description><![CDATA[One can endure sorrow alone, but it takes two to be glad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the constitutional limitation of man's knowledge and interests, the fact that he cannot know more than a tiny ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52018]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the constitutional limitation of man's knowledge and interests, the fact that he cannot know more than a tiny part of the whole of society and that therefore all that can enter into his motives are the immediate effects which his actions will have in the sphere he knows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52018</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60895]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To stumble twice against the same stone, is a proverbial disgrace. [Lat., Culpa enim illa, bis ad eundem, vulgari reprehensa ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16334]]></link><description><![CDATA[To stumble twice against the same stone, is a proverbial disgrace. [Lat., Culpa enim illa, bis ad eundem, vulgari reprehensa proverbio est.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd love to see a place where people could get together with their animals and meet other people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29349]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd love to see a place where people could get together with their animals and meet other people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29349</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse!
