We demand, as the apostle demanded, that he must hold fast the faithful word -- at least, so far as that he shall not write deliberate heresy in his examination papers, and shall profess belief in the Creed. We demand, as he demanded, that the candidate must be apt to teach -- at least, so far as an examination of his verbal memory can prove that he knows what he ought to teach. But there is some difference between the "without reproach" of the apostle and our testimonials; and there is a difference between the holding fast of the faith by a man tried in the furnace of life, and the soundness in the faith of a youth fresh from a theological school; and the aptness to teach of a man of experience and social authority is not quite the same thing as the aptness to teach of a young man who has just passed an examination in the subject-matter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20500]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opportunity is often difficult to recognize; we usually expect it to beckon us with beepers and billboards. -Unknown. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45123]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opportunity is often difficult to recognize; we usually expect it to beckon us with beepers and billboards. -Unknown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No, it is not only our fate but our business to lose innocence, and once we have lost that, it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20973]]></link><description><![CDATA[No, it is not only our fate but our business to lose innocence, and once we have lost that, it is futile to attempt a picnic in Eden.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Miss Piggy to Johnny Carson.. do you think I am Oscar material?Johnny Carson: Oscar Mayer maybeNBC Tonight Show writershttp://www.mad-cow.org. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20105]]></link><description><![CDATA[Miss Piggy to Johnny Carson.. do you think I am Oscar material?Johnny Carson: Oscar Mayer maybeNBC Tonight Show writershttp://www.mad-cow.org.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People differ in their discourse and profession about these matters, but men of sense are really but of one religion ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53467]]></link><description><![CDATA[People differ in their discourse and profession about these matters, but men of sense are really but of one religion . . .

But Man having induced death upon himself, God hath taken Man's Creature, death, into his hand, and mended it, and whereas it hath in itself a fearfull form and aspect, so that Man is afraid of his own Creature, God presents it to him, in a familiar, in an assiduous, in an agreeable and acceptable form, in sleep, that so when he awakes from sleep and says to himself, shall I be no otherwise when I am dead, than I was even now, when I was asleep, he may be ashamed of his waking dreams, and of his Melancholique fancying out a horrid and an affrightful figure of that death which is so like sleep. As then we need sleep to live out our threescore and ten years, so we need death, to live that life which we cannot out-live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a budding morrow in midnight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59454]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a budding morrow in midnight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The benediction of these covering heavens Fall on their heads like dew, for they are worthy  To inlay heaven ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4322]]></link><description><![CDATA[The benediction of these covering heavens Fall on their heads like dew, for they are worthy  To inlay heaven with stars.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let Hercules himself do what he may, The cat will mew, and dog will have his day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12079]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let Hercules himself do what he may, The cat will mew, and dog will have his day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14294]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Piglet, the Sheep, and the GoatA young pig was shut up in a fold-yard with a Goat and a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1549]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Piglet, the Sheep, and the GoatA young pig was shut up in a fold-yard with a Goat and a Sheep.
