This, combined with exactness and breadth of scholarship, led him so to translate the Greek New Testament into English as largely to determine the character, form, and style of the Authorized Version. There have been some painstaking calculations to determine just how large a part Tyndale may have had in the production of the version of 1611. A comparison of Tyndale's version of I John and that of the Authorized Version shows that nine-tenths of the latter is retained from the martyred translator's work. Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians retains five-sixths of Tyndale's translation. These proportions are maintained throughout the entire New Testament. Such an influence as that upon the English Bible cannot be attributed to any other man in all the past. More than that, Tyndale set a standard for the English language that molded in part the character and style of the tongue during the great Elizabethan era and all subsequent time. He gave the language fixity, volubleness, grace, beauty, simplicity, and directness. His influence as a man of letters was permanent on the style and literary taste of the English people, and of all who admire the superiority and epochal character of the literature of the sixteenth century.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...definitions are temporary verbalizations of concepts, and concepts- particularly difficult concepts- are usually revised repeatedly as our knowledge and understanding ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52217]]></link><description><![CDATA[...definitions are temporary verbalizations of concepts, and concepts- particularly difficult concepts- are usually revised repeatedly as our knowledge and understanding grows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The punishment of criminals should be of use; when a man is hanged he is good for nothing ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10640]]></link><description><![CDATA[The punishment of criminals should be of use; when a man is hanged he is good for nothing]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything is not gold that one sees shining. [Fr., Que tout n'est pas or c'on voit luire.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2816]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything is not gold that one sees shining. [Fr., Que tout n'est pas or c'on voit luire.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His imagination resembled the wings of an ostrich.

Simone Weil  August 18, 2000   My biological work convinced me that the One who was declared dead by Nietzsche, and silent by Sartre, actually is very much alive and speaking to us through all things.  ... C. J. Briejèr, letter to Rachel Carson August 19, 2000   The Christian cell in a factory or a professional circle, funding its own activities, deciding its own pattern of work, studying the Bible and perhaps celebrating the Lord's supper as an entity on its own, comes very much closer to Independency as Robert Browne saw it than the unholy isolationism of a prosperous suburban church, with 200 members who scarcely know each other by sight. If a sizable proportion of the Free Church ministry were enabled to become itinerant once again -- not necessarily itinerant in the geographical sense, but itinerant in the complex mazes of contemporary society, fathers in God to Christian organisms evolved by the lay men and women who spend their lives in these mazes -- new heart would be put into both ministry and laity, and incidentally, new impetus given to the search for Christian unity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis so much to be a king, that he only is so by being so.   - Michael Eyquen ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54486]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis so much to be a king, that he only is so by being so.   - Michael Eyquen de Montaigne,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a man listens to the voice of the tempter within him, he is inclined to do as others do, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7817]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a man listens to the voice of the tempter within him, he is inclined to do as others do, not to resist when temptation seems great.
