Hence it was firmly seated first on the great lines of communication across the empire, leading from its origin in Jerusalem to its imperial center in Rome. It had already struck root in Rome within little more than twenty years after the Crucifixion, and it had become really strong in the great city about thirty years after the Apostles began to look round and out from Jerusalem. This marvelous development was possible only because the seed of the new thought floated free on the main currents of communication, which were ever sweeping back and forward between the heart of the Empire and its outlying members. Paul, who mainly directed the great movement, threw himself boldly and confidently into the life of the time; he took the Empire as it was, accepted its political conformation and arrangement, and sought only to touch the spiritual and moral life of the people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are losing your leisure, look out, you may be losing your soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24614]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are losing your leisure, look out, you may be losing your soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History is the devil's scripture. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19389]]></link><description><![CDATA[History is the devil's scripture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm glad to be out here.

Why, would the same not be possible to a good will? Yes, indeed, and even much more so. Surely, I can do all things with the will. I can bear the sorrow of all men and feed all the poor and do the work of all men and whatever else you may think of. If it be not the will that fails you, but only the power, then truly, before God, you have done it all, and no man can take it from you or even hinder you for a moment; for to will to do as soon as I can is the same before God as having done it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One player was lost because he broke his nose.
