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.

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[A hundred thousand men were led By one calf near three centuries dead;  They followed still his crooked way ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4780]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hundred thousand men were led By one calf near three centuries dead;  They followed still his crooked way   And lost a hundred years a day;    For thus such reverence is lent     To well established precedent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is simply to request equal treatment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37615]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is simply to request equal treatment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He can compress the most words into the smallest ideas of any man I ever met. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20288]]></link><description><![CDATA[He can compress the most words into the smallest ideas of any man I ever met.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All cruelty springs from weakness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52112]]></link><description><![CDATA[All cruelty springs from weakness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I used to tell my husband that, if he could make me 'understand' something, it would be clear to all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20186]]></link><description><![CDATA[I used to tell my husband that, if he could make me 'understand' something, it would be clear to all the other people in the country.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take what you can use and let the rest go by ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13314]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take what you can use and let the rest go by]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The character ethic, which I believe to be the foundation ofsuccess, teaches that there are basic principles of effective living, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21561]]></link><description><![CDATA[The character ethic, which I believe to be the foundation ofsuccess, teaches that there are basic principles of effective living, andthat people can only experience true success and enduring happiness asthey learn and integrate these principles into their basic character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And he sang every night as he went to bed.
