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://maxioms.com/maxiom/6684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those are the things I can help them with.

You will not stroll into Christlikeness with your hands in your pockets, shoving the door open with a careless shoulder. This is no hobby for one's leisure moments, taken up at intervals when we have nothing much to do, and put down and forgotten when our life grows full and interesting... It takes all one's strength, and all one's heart, and all one's mind, and all one's soul, given freely and recklessly and without restraint. This is a business for adventurous spirits; others would shrink out of it. And so Christ had a way of pulling up would-be recruits with sobering and disconcerting questions, of meeting applicants -- breathless and panting in their eagerness -- by asking them if they really thought they had the grit, the stamina, the gallantry, required. For many, He explained, begin, but quickly become cowed, and slink away, leaving a thing unfinished as a pathetic monument of their own lack of courage and of staying power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8629]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are so appreciative of the men and women in uniform who are protecting us, whether in Afghanistan or Iraq ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35548]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are so appreciative of the men and women in uniform who are protecting us, whether in Afghanistan or Iraq or on ships around the world.
