But he could not read Latin, and so the Scriptures were a closed book to him. However, he hired two money-minded priests, who, in violation of strict regulations, translated the Bible for him into Provençal, the language of southern France. The content of the Word of God made such an impression upon this earnest man that he gave up his business, took upon himself a vow of poverty, and dedicated himself to the simple preaching of the contents of God's Word.  The Latin of the Church only mystified its hearers [but] Waldo's humble preaching edified the souls of men. His words were not spectacular but powerful, as he pleaded with them to repent. Much of his preaching and that of his followers consisted in reciting long passages of Scripture in the vernacular. Many of them could not afford an expensive handwritten copy of the Bible, and the ecclesiastical authorities could too easily rob them of such a book; but they could not erase the words which were treasured in the heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why should the brave Spanish soldiers brag?

Again and again in the Pentateuch, the psalms, the prophets, and the subsequent writings which derive from them, the claim is made that the creator of the entire universe has chosen to live uniquely on a small ridge called Mount Zion, near the eastern edge of the Judean hill-country. The sheer absurdity of this claim, from the standpoint of any other worldview (not least that of Enlightenment philosophy), is staggering. The fact that Assyria, Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Egypt again, Syria and now Rome had made explicit mockery of the idea did not shake this conviction, but only intensified it. This was what Jewish monotheism looked like on the ground.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The awareness of the ambiguity of one's highest achievements (as well as one's deepest failures) is a definite symptom of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1742]]></link><description><![CDATA[The awareness of the ambiguity of one's highest achievements (as well as one's deepest failures) is a definite symptom of maturity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In general it's a healthy profit taking move for the EM market, and for the domestic markets in Latin America ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34542]]></link><description><![CDATA[In general it's a healthy profit taking move for the EM market, and for the domestic markets in Latin America as the stock and currency markets are coming off.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51940]]></link><description><![CDATA[The longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of man; and if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People often say that motivation doesn’t last.
