Not so those women loved  Who with exceeding grief lamented Thee;  Not so fallen Peter weeping bitterly;  Not so the thief was moved; Not so the Sun and Moon  Which hid their faces in a starless sky:  A horror of great darkness at broad noon I only I.

The younger generation is not primarily to be blamed. Those who are struggling today, those who are far away and doing that which is completely contrary to the Christian conscience, are not first to be blamed. It is my generation, and the generation that preceded me, who turned away. Today we are left, not only with a religion and a church without meaning, but... with a culture without meaning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be not too tame neither, but let your own discretion be your tutor.

The Jews could only see "Old Testament" in Moses and the prophets, because they were blind. To the spiritual all Scripture is gospel, or New Testament (the Law being the schoolmaster, bringing us to Christ), but to the natural and self righteous, as we ought to know from experience and observation, all Scripture (gospels and epistles included) is Old Testament, or Covenant of Works.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't want to pinch, ...

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[He that toucheth pitch shall be defiled therewith; and he that hath fellowship with a proud man shall be like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1391]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that toucheth pitch shall be defiled therewith; and he that hath fellowship with a proud man shall be like unto him.
