Had that been the case, it is not too bold to say that the new religion could not have conquered the Empire. 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[Custom governs the world; it is the tyrant of our feelings and our manners and rules the world with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10892]]></link><description><![CDATA[Custom governs the world; it is the tyrant of our feelings and our manners and rules the world with the hand of a despot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O you much partial gods!Why gave ye men affections, and not powerTo govern them? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2063]]></link><description><![CDATA[O you much partial gods!Why gave ye men affections, and not powerTo govern them?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[DEATH LEAVES A HEARTACHE NO ONE CAN HEAL, LOVE LEAVES LIVES A MEMORY NO ONE CAN STEAL ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4150]]></link><description><![CDATA[DEATH LEAVES A HEARTACHE NO ONE CAN HEAL, LOVE LEAVES LIVES A MEMORY NO ONE CAN STEAL]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is only chatter, friends are all that matter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16809]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is only chatter, friends are all that matter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Eighteen holes of match play will teach you more about your foe than 18 years of dealing with him across ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57476]]></link><description><![CDATA[Eighteen holes of match play will teach you more about your foe than 18 years of dealing with him across a desk.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think other benefits are being utilized today more often than sabbaticals as retention tools.

We will have such-a-one, for he sings prettily; we will invite such-a-one to a ball, for he dances well; we will have such-a-one at supper, for he is always joking and laughing; we will ask another because he plays deep at all games, or because he can drink a great deal. These are all vilifying distinctions, mortifying preferences, and exclude all ideas of esteem and regard. Whoever is had (as it is called) in company for the sake of any one thing singly, is singly that thing, and will never be considered in any other light; consequently never respected, let his merits be what they will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman who pretends to laugh at love is like a child who sings at night when he is afraid ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27055]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman who pretends to laugh at love is like a child who sings at night when he is afraid]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My gran'ther's rule was safer 'n 't is to crow: Don't never prophesy--onless ye know. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48458]]></link><description><![CDATA[My gran'ther's rule was safer 'n 't is to crow: Don't never prophesy--onless ye know.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54238]]></link><description><![CDATA[My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is grown so bad, That wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch. -King Richard III.

This is a disastrous illusion. Christians cannot behave as though time were unreal. God gives us time, but not an infinite amount of time. It is His purpose that the Gospel should be preached to all nations, and that all men should be brought into one family in Jesus Christ. His purpose looks to a real End, and therefore requires of us real decisions. If we misconstrue His patience, and think that there is an infinity of time for debate while we perpetuate before the world the scandal of our dismemberment of the Body of Christ, we deceive ourselves. In an issue regarding the doing of the will of God there is no final neutrality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I learned from each of them, Jim, Joe and Steve about the positive things it takes to run a football ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37463]]></link><description><![CDATA[I learned from each of them, Jim, Joe and Steve about the positive things it takes to run a football program.

Not fiends incarnate, but plain flesh and blood like us; quite ordinary men, decent and kindly souls enough, some of whom, no doubt, went to their homes that day from Calvary and took their children on their knees and loved them very genuinely. Only, they were a bit old fashioned in the make-up of their minds, had grown stiff and inelastic in their thinking, inhospitable to new notions -- surely a very minor sin at worst -- and some feared for their vested interests; and one, poor Pilate, had lost his temper with these impossible Jews in days gone by, and had received a curt warning from Rome that there must be no further bloodshed in Jerusalem, and here was a new trouble at the very worst of times in the whole year, with fanatics in tens of thousands come up for the Feast; and one wanted to save the world by quick-running machinery, and so put Christ into a situation where He could no longer dilly-dally but must do something vivid, dramatic, revolutionary. And the people? No need for us to bother being there at the decision between Jesus and Barabbas. We had the lined streets cheering for Him yesterday. And we have relatives to see, and messages from neighbours to deliver to their kindred. He will be all right; we needn't worry to be there. Such simple and plebian sins -- minds grown a trifle out of date, a little selfishness, some temper and its consequences, a bit of worldly wisdom, and an indifference that did nothing at all -- these brought about the shame of mankind, and the tragedy of history, and the blot upon our annals that will not rub out. And they are all of them within your heart and mine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63511]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not stand in a place of danger trusting in miracles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11062]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not stand in a place of danger trusting in miracles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him.
