It was because Christianity appealed direct to the people, addressed them in their own language, and made itself comprehensible to them on their own plane of thought, that it met the needs and filled the heart of the Roman world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4313]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65029]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[February makes a bridge and March breakes it. [February makes a bridge, and March breaks it.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15533]]></link><description><![CDATA[February makes a bridge and March breakes it. [February makes a bridge, and March breaks it.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We boast our emancipation from many superstitions; but if we have broken any idols, it is through a transfer of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27326]]></link><description><![CDATA[We boast our emancipation from many superstitions; but if we have broken any idols, it is through a transfer of idolatry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success comes in cans; failure in can'ts ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58111]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success comes in cans; failure in can'ts]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowledge and human power are synonymous. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1369]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowledge and human power are synonymous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He has hay upon his horn.
