Origen seems to have put forward a definition generally agreed upon among ecclesiastical writers when he said that it is a faculty of the reason to distinguish between good and evil, a faculty of the will to choose one or the other. Augustine does not disagree with this when he teaches that it is a faculty of the reason and the will to choose good with the assistance of grace; evil, when grace is absent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48574]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Paint me as I am.

Grades are a cudgel to bludgeon the unwilling into doing what they don't want to do, an important instrument in inculcating children into a lifelong subservience to whatever authority happens to be thrust over them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius is the talent of a person who is dead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28110]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genius is the talent of a person who is dead.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little more than kin, and less than kind! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23761]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little more than kin, and less than kind!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23761</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Roads are wet where'er one wendeth, And with rain the thistle bendeth,  And the brook cries like a child! ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57898]]></link><description><![CDATA[Roads are wet where'er one wendeth, And with rain the thistle bendeth,  And the brook cries like a child!   Not a rainbow shines to cheer us;    Ah! the sun comes never near us,     And the heavens look dark and wile.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now they'll say that the public chamber is the expression of civil society -- and all the rest of us ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41247]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now they'll say that the public chamber is the expression of civil society -- and all the rest of us are marginal.
