Paul, too, used this expression, but he placed alongside it a parallel form of words, "in Christ" or "in Christ Jesus". Where we find these words used we are being reminded of the intimate union with Christ which makes the Christian life an eternal life lived in the midst of time. The deeper shade of meaning would often be conveyed to our minds if we translated the phrase "in communion with Christ". But, Paul's Christ mysticism is saved from the introverted individualism of many forms of mysticism by his insistence that communion with Christ is also communion with all who are Christ's.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The line with its rod is a long instrument whose lesser end holds a small reptile, while the other is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16117]]></link><description><![CDATA[The line with its rod is a long instrument whose lesser end holds a small reptile, while the other is held by a great fool. [Fr., La ligne avec sa canne est un long instrument,  Dont le plus mince bout tient un petit reptile,   Et dont Pautre est tenu pau un grand imbecile.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easier to fight for our principles than it is to live up to them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21079]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easier to fight for our principles than it is to live up to them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There should be many judges, for few will always do the will of few. [It., Bisogna che i giudici siano ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23506]]></link><description><![CDATA[There should be many judges, for few will always do the will of few. [It., Bisogna che i giudici siano assai, perche pochi sempre fanno a modo de' pochi.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, monstrous! but one half-pennyworth of bread to this intolerable deal of sack! -King Henry IV.
