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.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spontaneity is the quality of being able to do something just because you feel like it at the moment, of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57425]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spontaneity is the quality of being able to do something just because you feel like it at the moment, of trusting your instincts, of taking yourself by surprise and snatching from the clutches of your well-organized routine, a bit of unscheduled plea]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Scholastica, Abbess of Plombariola, c.543  Since becoming a disciple of Christ, Paul knows that all mere orthodoxy, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6191]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Scholastica, Abbess of Plombariola, c.543  Since becoming a disciple of Christ, Paul knows that all mere orthodoxy, all mere knowledge concerning God's will, is not only nothing but less than nothing. The more knowledge, the more obligation. The maintaining of revealed doctrine becomes blasphemy if it is not borne out by the corresponding testimony of the life. He who is always appealing to the Word of God without his life and conduct corresponding to this knowledge of God, dishonours God's name, making Him an object of mockery and hatred. It is just those who know so well how to talk about God who make His name hateful among men, because their lives darken the picture of God and turn it into a caricature. The Lord is judged by the life of His servants; this is the truer, the more zealously they appeal to Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All religions must be tolerated, for every man must get to heaven in his own way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53544]]></link><description><![CDATA[All religions must be tolerated, for every man must get to heaven in his own way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in this world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46608]]></link><description><![CDATA[Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in this world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's been fun and a lot of hard work, but I've been glad with the outcome.
