Hence it was firmly seated first on the great lines of communication across the empire, leading from its origin in Jerusalem to its imperial center in Rome. 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://maxioms.com/maxiom/7353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, need only a bit of praise ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13770]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, need only a bit of praise or encouragement - and we will make the goal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You've got to see where the jobs land and where jobs open. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32368]]></link><description><![CDATA[You've got to see where the jobs land and where jobs open.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man in love is not complete until he is married.

For the mystical practice of an Indian, Persian, Chinese, or Neo-Platonic mystic it is a matter of indifference whether Rama, Buddha, Laotse, or Porphyrius are myths or not. The mystic has no personal relation to them. It is not here a question of somebody telling me the truth which of myself I cannot find, but of my finding an access to the depths of the world in the depths of my soul. And everywhere the tendency is to eliminate personality. Even where religion does not have this mystical character, it has no relation to an historical person, who communicates himself to me. That is the characteristic essence of the Christian faith alone. Even where a prophet plays the role of a mediator of divine truth, as for example in Islam, the religious act is not directed toward him but toward his teaching or message. But the Christian does not believe in the teachings of Jesus -- which would not be Christian faith, but general religion -- he believes in Christ Himself as being the Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're thrilled to have developed a game that appeals to massively multiplayer players, as well as fans of the original ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37709]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're thrilled to have developed a game that appeals to massively multiplayer players, as well as fans of the original pen-and-paper game.
