The Scriptures indeed were at hand for the study of those who could avail themselves of them, but St. Iranaeus does not hesitate to speak of whole races who had been converted to Christianity, without being able to read them. To be unable to read or write was in those times no evidence of want of learning; the hermits of the deserts were, in one sense of the word, illiterate, yet the great St. Anthony, though he knew not letters, was a match in disputation for the learned philosophers who came to try him.  ... John Henry Newman, "What is a University?" August 12, 2000   Any single verse of the Bible, taken in isolation, may actually be dangerous to your spiritual health. Every part of it must be read in relation to the whole message.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel like a Bull Moose.   - Theodore Roosevelt, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57946]]></link><description><![CDATA[I feel like a Bull Moose.   - Theodore Roosevelt,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Avarice is the vice of declining years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15876]]></link><description><![CDATA[Avarice is the vice of declining years.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15876</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let me live in a house by the side of the road and be a friend to man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16822]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let me live in a house by the side of the road and be a friend to man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16822</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A child cannot be taught by anyone who despises him, and a child cannot afford to be fooled. -James Baldwin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13585]]></link><description><![CDATA[A child cannot be taught by anyone who despises him, and a child cannot afford to be fooled. -James Baldwin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The foolish sayings of the rich pass for wise saws in society. [Sp., Las necedades del rico por sentencias pasan ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61381]]></link><description><![CDATA[The foolish sayings of the rich pass for wise saws in society. [Sp., Las necedades del rico por sentencias pasan en el mundo.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He said: 'Judge me as an accused person.

Now, we cannot get over this plain fact by saying that it was a religious ceremony: that would be mere sophistry. It was an indulgence in the festivity of life; as plainly as words can describe, here was a banquet of human enjoyment. The very language of the master of the feast about men who had well drunk, tells us that there had been, not excess, of course, but happiness there, and merry-making. Neither can we explain away the lesson by saying that it is no example to us, for Christ was there to do good, and that what was safe for Him might be unsafe for us. For if His life is no pattern for us here in this case of accepting an invitation, in what can we be sure it is a pattern? Besides, He took His disciples there, and His mother was there: they were not shielded, as He was, by immaculate purity. He was there as a guest first, as Messiah only afterwards: thereby He declared the sacredness of natural enjoyments.... For Christianity does not destroy what is natural, but ennobles it. To turn water into wine, and what is common into what is holy, is indeed the glory of Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is a ladder that cannot be climbed with your hands in your pocket ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58117]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is a ladder that cannot be climbed with your hands in your pocket]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Right--that will do for the marines. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44015]]></link><description><![CDATA[Right--that will do for the marines.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody really knew how this would be received in Israel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32428]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody really knew how this would be received in Israel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the duty of righteous men to make war on all undeserved privilege, but one must not forget that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47176]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the duty of righteous men to make war on all undeserved privilege, but one must not forget that this is a war without end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is made up for the most part of morons and natural tyrants, sure of themselves, strong in their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59982]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world is made up for the most part of morons and natural tyrants, sure of themselves, strong in their own opinions, never doubting anything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59982</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is my view that the vegetarian manner of living by its purely physical effect on the human temperament would ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60454]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is my view that the vegetarian manner of living by its purely physical effect on the human temperament would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ridicule is the language of the devil ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54206]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ridicule is the language of the devil]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Think truly, and thy thoughts Shall the world's famine feed.  Speak truly, and each word of thine   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59808]]></link><description><![CDATA[Think truly, and thy thoughts Shall the world's famine feed.  Speak truly, and each word of thine   Shall be a fruitful seed.    Live truly, and thy life shall be     A great and noble creed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God did not write a book and send it by messenger to be read at a distance by unaided minds. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7085]]></link><description><![CDATA[God did not write a book and send it by messenger to be read at a distance by unaided minds.

Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type..
