But he could not read Latin, and so the Scriptures were a closed book to him. However, he hired two money-minded priests, who, in violation of strict regulations, translated the Bible for him into Provençal, the language of southern France. The content of the Word of God made such an impression upon this earnest man that he gave up his business, took upon himself a vow of poverty, and dedicated himself to the simple preaching of the contents of God's Word.  The Latin of the Church only mystified its hearers [but] Waldo's humble preaching edified the souls of men. His words were not spectacular but powerful, as he pleaded with them to repent. Much of his preaching and that of his followers consisted in reciting long passages of Scripture in the vernacular. Many of them could not afford an expensive handwritten copy of the Bible, and the ecclesiastical authorities could too easily rob them of such a book; but they could not erase the words which were treasured in the heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To preserve the life of citizens, is the greatest virtue in the father of his country. [Lat., Servare cives, major ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45813]]></link><description><![CDATA[To preserve the life of citizens, is the greatest virtue in the father of his country. [Lat., Servare cives, major est virtus patriae patri.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These two hated with a hate Found only on the stage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18842]]></link><description><![CDATA[These two hated with a hate Found only on the stage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be steadfast as a tower that doth not bend its stately summit to the tempest's shock. [It., Sta come torre ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10280]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be steadfast as a tower that doth not bend its stately summit to the tempest's shock. [It., Sta come torre ferme, che non crolla  Giammai la cima per soffiar de' venti.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will be relocating the service center, which is the family services center, mental health, the medical department.

Paul does not, in fact, speak (when he is using the language strictly) of "justification by faith", but of "justification by grace through faith," or "on the grounds of faith." This is not mere verbal subtlety. It means that the "righteousness of God" becomes ours, not by the assertion of the individual will as such, but by the willingness to let God work.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Curtesie on one side only lasts not long. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49190]]></link><description><![CDATA[Curtesie on one side only lasts not long.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The caterpillar does all the work but the butterfly gets all the publicity ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/736]]></link><description><![CDATA[The caterpillar does all the work but the butterfly gets all the publicity]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Dewdrop slips into the shining sea! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12189]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Dewdrop slips into the shining sea!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is helping the child realize his potentialities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13492]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is helping the child realize his potentialities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I could see what God was doing.
