The Scriptures indeed were at hand for the study of those who could avail themselves of them, but St. Iranaeus does not hesitate to speak of whole races who had been converted to Christianity, without being able to read them. To be unable to read or write was in those times no evidence of want of learning; the hermits of the deserts were, in one sense of the word, illiterate, yet the great St. Anthony, though he knew not letters, was a match in disputation for the learned philosophers who came to try him.  ...

Every part of it must be read in relation to the whole message.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Clouds on clouds, in volumes driven, Curtain round the vault of heaven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8917]]></link><description><![CDATA[Clouds on clouds, in volumes driven, Curtain round the vault of heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes I stay up so late that I have my morning coffee before I go to bed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8942]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes I stay up so late that I have my morning coffee before I go to bed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a great romance, each person plays a part the other really likes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34438]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a great romance, each person plays a part the other really likes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel so lucky to have both a son and a daughter, because there's a different relationship with each of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65380]]></link><description><![CDATA[I feel so lucky to have both a son and a daughter, because there's a different relationship with each of them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly... -Proverbs 14:17a. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2612]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly... -Proverbs 14:17a.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53595]]></link><description><![CDATA[The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Grammar, which knows how to lord it over kings, and with high hands makes them obey its laws. [Fr., La ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24008]]></link><description><![CDATA[Grammar, which knows how to lord it over kings, and with high hands makes them obey its laws. [Fr., La grammaire, qui sait regenter jusqu'aux rois,  Et les fait, la main haute, obeir a ses lois.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mingle a little folly with your wisdom; a little nonsense now and then is pleasant. [Lat., Misce stultitiam consiliis brevem: ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44610]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mingle a little folly with your wisdom; a little nonsense now and then is pleasant. [Lat., Misce stultitiam consiliis brevem:  Dulce est desipere in loco.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have been on this team for four years and this is the first time we have beaten Fallbrook.
