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[He that is good, will infallibly become better, and he that is bad, will as certainly become worse; for vice, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48381]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is good, will infallibly become better, and he that is bad, will as certainly become worse; for vice, virtue and time are three things that never stand still.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You two are book-men. -Love's Labour 's Lost.

There is no breaking through this law of our being. Every attempt to do so proves itself in experience to be futile. Hence we are in a more helpless state of bondage than that which materialistic determinism holds; for the tyrant is established within our own consciousness. One way, and one way only, out of this bondage remains. If we can discover how to make our own immediate desire, and the act of will springing out of it, accord with the supreme law of our being, then to "do as we like" will no longer be to run our heads against the stone wall of necessity which shuts us out from the heaven of satisfaction. For we shall only "like" doing what we "ought". This introduces a new sense of the word "freedom". It does not now mean freedom from restrains to follow our desires, but freedom from the tyranny of futile desires to follow what is really good. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mind of the scholar, if he would leave it large and liberal, should come in contact with other minds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58057]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mind of the scholar, if he would leave it large and liberal, should come in contact with other minds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Was this the face that launch'd a thousand ships, And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?  Sweet Helen, make ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14865]]></link><description><![CDATA[Was this the face that launch'd a thousand ships, And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?  Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss.--   Her lips suck forth my soul; see, where it flies!--]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want this to be an event that lives up to the advance sale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34494]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want this to be an event that lives up to the advance sale.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No deceit is so veiled as that which lies concealed behind the semblance of courtesy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48854]]></link><description><![CDATA[No deceit is so veiled as that which lies concealed behind the semblance of courtesy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Winning makes an experience more positive.
