Every invention was considered impossible. Every discovery was a nervous shock to some orthodoxy. Every artistic innovation was denounced as fraud and folly. The entire web of culture and "progress," everything on earth that is man-made and not given to us by nature, is the concrete manifestation of some man's refusal to bow to Authority. We would own no more, know no more, and be no more than the first apelike hominids if it were not for the rebellious, the recalcitrant, and the intransigent.

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[Early, bright, transient, chaste, as morning dew She sparkled, was exhal'd, and went to heaven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51871]]></link><description><![CDATA[Early, bright, transient, chaste, as morning dew She sparkled, was exhal'd, and went to heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While rationalism at the individual level is a plea for more personal autonomy from cultural norms, at the social level ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47141]]></link><description><![CDATA[While rationalism at the individual level is a plea for more personal autonomy from cultural norms, at the social level it is often a claim- or arrogation- of power to stifle the autonomy of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[External nature is only internal nature writ large. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63480]]></link><description><![CDATA[External nature is only internal nature writ large.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63480</guid></item></channel></rss>
