Failure on this part should mean failure on the whole exam. It is absolutely disgraceful that we expect missionaries to the Bantus to learn Bantu, but never ask whether our missionaries to the Americans or English can speak American or English. Any fool can write learned language: the vernacular is the real test.

And hence it is that worse passions, or a worse degree of them are to be found in persons of great religious zeal than in others that made no pretenses to it. History also furnishes us with instances of persons of great piety and devotion who have fallen into great delusions and deceived both themselves and others. The occasion of their fall was this: ... They considered their whole nature as the subject of religion and divine graces; and therefore their religion was according to the workings of their whole nature, and the old man was as busy and as much delighted in it as the new.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To the artist there is never anything ugly in nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43767]]></link><description><![CDATA[To the artist there is never anything ugly in nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take time: much may be gained by patience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50760]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take time: much may be gained by patience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Consider the misfortunes of others, and you will be the better able to bear your own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50716]]></link><description><![CDATA[Consider the misfortunes of others, and you will be the better able to bear your own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better a snotty child, then his nose wip'd off. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49155]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better a snotty child, then his nose wip'd off.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can be knowledgeable with other men's knowledge but we cannot be wisewith other men's wisdom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22683]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can be knowledgeable with other men's knowledge but we cannot be wisewith other men's wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And to hie him home, at evening's close, To sweet repast, and calm repose.  . . . .  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61390]]></link><description><![CDATA[And to hie him home, at evening's close, To sweet repast, and calm repose.  . . . .   From toil we wins his spirits light,    From busy day the peaceful night;     Rich, from the very want of wealth,      In heaven's best treasures, peace and health.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What have they done to you my poor child?
