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[Iran's defiance of the international ban on executing child offenders is a growing concern and calls into question its willingness ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39547]]></link><description><![CDATA[Iran's defiance of the international ban on executing child offenders is a growing concern and calls into question its willingness to abide by international human rights standards,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the feet, Hercules. [Lat., Ex pede Herculem.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54930]]></link><description><![CDATA[From the feet, Hercules. [Lat., Ex pede Herculem.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For man is man, and master of his fate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51695]]></link><description><![CDATA[For man is man, and master of his fate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A thousand year a poor man watched Before the gate of Paradise:  But while one little nap he snatched, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45060]]></link><description><![CDATA[A thousand year a poor man watched Before the gate of Paradise:  But while one little nap he snatched,   It oped and shut.
