This perhaps may seem to some a great oversight and omission. But our Lord in great wisdom thought fit to give us a pattern of a quite different sort of life, which was, not to fly the conversation of men and to live in a monastery or a wilderness, but to do good among men, to live in the world with great freedom and with great innocence. He did indeed sometimes retire himself for the more free and private exercise of devotion, as we ought to do; but he passed his life chiefly in the conversation of men, that they might have all the benefit that was possible of his instruction and example We read that "he was carried into the wilderness to be tempted," but not that he lived there to avoid temptation. He hath given us an example of denying the world without leaving it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that will cheat at play, will cheat you any way ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5817]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that will cheat at play, will cheat you any way]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the ancient philosopher and priest of esoteric cults, steeped in the tradition of Classical Greek, the grammatical forms in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6303]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the ancient philosopher and priest of esoteric cults, steeped in the tradition of Classical Greek, the grammatical forms in the Lord's Prayer would seem almost rude. One does not find the optative forms of polite petition so characteristic of elaborate requests made to earthly and heavenly potentates. Rather than employing such august forms, the Christians made their requests to God in what seem to be blunt imperatives. This does not mean that Christians lacked respect for their heavenly father, but it does mean that they were consistent with a new understanding of Him. In the tens of thousands of papyri fragments which have been rescued from the rubbish heaps of the ancient Greek world, one finds the imperative forms used constantly between members of a family. When the Christians addressed God as "Father," it was perfectly natural therefore for them to talk to Him as intimately as they would to their own father. Unfortunately, the history of our own English language has almost reversed this process. Originally, men used "thou" and "thee" in prayer because it was the appropriate familiar form of address; but now these words have become relegated to prayer alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We lie and listen to the hissing waves, Wherein our boat seems sharpening its keel,  Which on the sea's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4399]]></link><description><![CDATA[We lie and listen to the hissing waves, Wherein our boat seems sharpening its keel,  Which on the sea's face all unthankful graves   An arrowed scratch as with a tool of steel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thanks to Tony, he didn't give us much time to think about that shot.
