More learned, the formal logic of the schools would have robbed him of that flower of simplicity which is the great charm of his life; he would have seen the whole extent of the sore of the Church, and would no doubt have despaired of healing it. If he had known ecclesiastical discipline, he would have felt obliged to observe it; but, thanks to his ignorance, he could often violate it without knowing it, and be a heretic quite unawares.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obviously, it's not a good situation.

For verily it is not deep words that make a man holy and upright; it is a good life which maketh a man dear to God. I had rather feel contrition than be skillful in the definition thereof. If thou knewest the whole Bible, and the sayings of all the philosophers, what should this profit thee without the love and grace of God?  ...Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ April 11, 1996 Commemoration of George Augustus Selwyn, first Bishop of New Zealand, 1878  When an unskillful servant gathers many herbs, flowers, and seeds in a garden, you gather them out that are useful, and cast the rest out of sight; so Christ deals with our performances.

This is the cause that the saints at the last day, when they meet their own duties and performances, know them not, they are so changed from what they were when they went out of their hand. "Lord, when saw we Thee naked or hungry?" So God accepts a little, and Christ makes our little a great deal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our duty is to preserve what the past has had to say for itself, and to say for ourselves what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44748]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our duty is to preserve what the past has had to say for itself, and to say for ourselves what shall be true for the future]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As every thread of gold is valuable, so is every moment of time ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17766]]></link><description><![CDATA[As every thread of gold is valuable, so is every moment of time]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Archers ever Have two strings to bow; and shall great Cupid  (Archer of archers both in men and women), ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51962]]></link><description><![CDATA[Archers ever Have two strings to bow; and shall great Cupid  (Archer of archers both in men and women),   Be worse provided than a common archer?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Health without money is halfe an ague. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49422]]></link><description><![CDATA[Health without money is halfe an ague.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have to plant new ones for the next centuries. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36626]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have to plant new ones for the next centuries.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is something even more valuable to civilization than wisdom, and that is character ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8818]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is something even more valuable to civilization than wisdom, and that is character]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18761]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18761</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We would like to begin to whittle away at lead time.
