This terrible subject would require a book to itself. Here it will be enough to say that the Heavenly Society is also an earthly society. Our (merely natural) patriotism towards the latter can very easily borrow the transcendent claims of the former and use them to justify the most abominable actions. If ever the book which I am not going to write is written, it must be the full confession by Christendom of Christendom's specific contribution to the sum of human cruelty and treachery. Large areas of "the World" will not hear us till we have publicly disowned much of our past. Why should they? We have shouted the name of Christ and enacted the service of Moloch.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An artist never really finishes his work, he merely abandons it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3242]]></link><description><![CDATA[An artist never really finishes his work, he merely abandons it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every journey into the past is complicated by delusions, false memories, false namings of real events. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45690]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every journey into the past is complicated by delusions, false memories, false namings of real events.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You'll see markets continue to do the Cha-Cha, moving higher, but paced by brief retrenchments.

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[This is the next leg of growth for cable companies.
