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[He who promises runs in debt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11503]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who promises runs in debt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think there's no doubt that this bill reflects the worst of Washington politics.

First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our favourite holding period is forever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5118]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our favourite holding period is forever.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cruel as death, and hungry at the grave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20167]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cruel as death, and hungry at the grave.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Donne, Priest, Poet, 1631 Death, be not proud, though some have called thee  Mighty and dreadful, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8096]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Donne, Priest, Poet, 1631 Death, be not proud, though some have called thee  Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;  For those, whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow  Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me. From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,  Much pleasure, then from thee much more, must flow,  And soonest our best men with thee do go,  Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery. Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men, And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,  And poppy, or charms, can make us sleep as well,  And better than thy stroke.
