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[Once let good faith be abandoned, and all social existence would perish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50567]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once let good faith be abandoned, and all social existence would perish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here Ceres' gifts in waving prospect stand, And nodding tempt the joyful reaper's hand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1964]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here Ceres' gifts in waving prospect stand, And nodding tempt the joyful reaper's hand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The solemn fog; significant and budge; A fool with judges, amongst fools a judge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16336]]></link><description><![CDATA[The solemn fog; significant and budge; A fool with judges, amongst fools a judge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christ is our Passover! And we will keep the feast  With the new leaven,   The bread of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13152]]></link><description><![CDATA[Christ is our Passover! And we will keep the feast  With the new leaven,   The bread of heaven:    All welcome, even the least!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All charming people have something to conceal, usually their total dependence on the appreciation of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5774]]></link><description><![CDATA[All charming people have something to conceal, usually their total dependence on the appreciation of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The less you talk, the more you're listened to. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63575]]></link><description><![CDATA[The less you talk, the more you're listened to.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now begin; For look where Beatrice, like a lapwing runs  Close by the ground, to hear our conference. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24088]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now begin; For look where Beatrice, like a lapwing runs  Close by the ground, to hear our conference.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So that the old joy, modest as cake, as wine and friendship Will stay with us at the last, backed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38729]]></link><description><![CDATA[So that the old joy, modest as cake, as wine and friendship Will stay with us at the last, backed by the night Whose ruse gave it our final meaning]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In science, it doesn't matter if you're wrong, as long as you're not stupid.

[Francis] always knew where the real miracle lay. It was not in things that happened to his body, though they were wonderful enough. It was not to be found in the fact that birds and beasts, even the wolf of Gubbio, felt the spell of his spirit. It was the radiance of light and love breaking across the darkness and hate of the world and his time. He loved lepers. He loved robbers and changed their lives. He loved beggars in their rags. He loved rich men, too, and members of the Church, who needed him as much as the robbers did. He brought Christianity out of forms and creeds and services into the open air, in action and into the movements of life. He changed the entire line of march of religion in the Western World. Brother Masseo, half jesting, asked him once why the whole world was running after him, not very comely, not very wise, not of noble birth. "Why after thee?" "God chose me," Francis answered, "because He could find no one more worthless, and He wished by me to confound the nobility and grandeur, the strength and beauty and learning of the world." But the real answer is that here at last in this wonderful man was an organ of that Spirit which was in Christ, and a marvelous transmitter of it to the world. The divine agape went out into men's lives through him. Here was a childlike lover of men, ready, if need be, to be crucified for love, but also ready in humble everyday tasks to reveal this love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Skill without imagination is craftsmanship and gives us many useful objects such as wickerwork picnic baskets.
