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[The only success worth one's powder was success in the line of one's idiosyncrasy... what was talent but the art ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64947]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only success worth one's powder was success in the line of one's idiosyncrasy... what was talent but the art of being completely whatever one happened to be?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can be a famous poisoner or a successful poisoner, but not both, and the same seems to apply to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32020]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can be a famous poisoner or a successful poisoner, but not both, and the same seems to apply to Great Train Robbers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Burroughs was a very political writer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39591]]></link><description><![CDATA[Burroughs was a very political writer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Some callers] aren't paying their electric (bill) in order to get their medicine, ... aren't getting their medicine in order ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33610]]></link><description><![CDATA[[Some callers] aren't paying their electric (bill) in order to get their medicine, ... aren't getting their medicine in order to pay their electric.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Generally speaking, everyone is more interresting doing nothing than doing anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24620]]></link><description><![CDATA[Generally speaking, everyone is more interresting doing nothing than doing anything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is one body that knows more than anybody, and that is everybody. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26218]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is one body that knows more than anybody, and that is everybody.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But over all things brooding slept The quiet sense of something lost. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25586]]></link><description><![CDATA[But over all things brooding slept The quiet sense of something lost.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One more unfortunate Weary of breath,  Rashly importunate,   Gone to her death!

Friend and foe alike are agreed on the question of the character of Jesus Christ... Whatever our creed, we stand with admiration before the sublime character of Jesus. Character is supreme in life, and hence Jesus stood supreme in the supreme thing -- so supreme that, when we think of the ideal, we do not add virtue to virtue, but think of Jesus Christ, so that the standard of human life is no longer a code, but a character.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sword laid by, Which eats into itself, and rusts ingloriously. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48718]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sword laid by, Which eats into itself, and rusts ingloriously.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He told the people the truth - not the whole truth, but it was the first time in Russian history ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41251]]></link><description><![CDATA[He told the people the truth - not the whole truth, but it was the first time in Russian history that a leader has told the people the bitter truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no need for peculiar conditions in order to grow in the spiritual life, for the pressure of God's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7668]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no need for peculiar conditions in order to grow in the spiritual life, for the pressure of God's Spirit is present everywhere and at all times. Our environment itself -- our home and our job -- is the medium through which we experience His moulding action and His besetting love. It is not Christian to try to get out of our frame, or to separate our outward life from our life of prayer, since both are the creation of one Charity. The third-rate little town in the hills, with its limited social contacts and monotonous manual work, reproves us when we begin to fuss about our opportunities and our score. And this quality of quietness, ordinariness, simplicity, with which the saving action of God enters history, endures from the beginning to the end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In some years, we see the boating season just being delayed, and they might be able to make it up ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34135]]></link><description><![CDATA[In some years, we see the boating season just being delayed, and they might be able to make it up later in the year.
