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.  ... John Henry Newman, "What is a University?" August 12, 2000   Any single verse of the Bible, taken in isolation, may actually be dangerous to your spiritual health. 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[Let the other guy have whatever he wants before the fight.

When I was a child, bishops expressed doubts about the Resurrection, and were called courageous. When I was a girl, G. K. Chesterton professed belief in the Resurrection, and was called whimsical. When I was at college, thoughtful people expressed belief in the Resurrection "in a spiritual sense", and were called advanced; (any other kind of belief was called obsolete, and its professors were held to be simpleminded). When I was middle-aged, a number of lay persons, including some poets and writers of popular fiction, put forward rational arguments for the Resurrection, and were called courageous. Today, any lay apologist for Christianity... whose works are sold and read, is liable to be abused in no uncertain terms as a mountebank, a reactionary, a tool of the Inquisition, a spiritual snob, an intellectual bully, an escapist, an obstructionist, a psychopathic introvert, an insensitive extrovert, and an enemy of society. The charges are not always mutually compatible, but the common animus behind them is unmistakable, and its name is fear. Writers who attack these domineering Christians are called courageous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The moral virtues, then, are produced in us neither by nature nor against nature.

Were they awe-stricken by creation? They beheld it confessing Christ as Lord. Did their minds tend to regard men as gods? The uniqueness of the Savior's works marked Him, alone of men, as Son of God. Were they drawn to evil spirits? They saw them driven out by the Lord, and learned that the Word of God alone was God and that the evil spirits were not gods at all. Were they inclined to hero-worship and the cult of the dead? Then the fact that the Savior had risen from the dead showed them how false these other deities were, and that the Word of the Father is the one true Lord, the Lord even of death. For this reason was He both born and manifested as Man, for this He died and rose, in order that, eclipsing by His works all other human deeds, He might recall man from all the paths of error to know the Father. As He says Himself, "I came to seek and to save that which was lost.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody can acquire honor by doing what is wrong ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19697]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody can acquire honor by doing what is wrong]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And finally Winter, with its bitin', whinin' wind, and all the land will be mantled with snow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66731]]></link><description><![CDATA[And finally Winter, with its bitin', whinin' wind, and all the land will be mantled with snow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Procrastination is a relief ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11837]]></link><description><![CDATA[Procrastination is a relief]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must always tell what we see.
