Among the adulatory formulas with which the emperor was acclaimed, Prof. Ethelbert Stauffer mentions, as going back to the first century, "Hail, Victory, Lord of the earth, Invincible, Power, Glory, Honour, Peace, Security, Holy, Blessed, Unequalled, Great, Thou alone worthy art, Worthy is he to inherit the Kingdom, Come, come, do not delay, Come again" (p. 155) [in Christ and the Caesars]. Indeed, one has only to read Psalm lxxii, in Latin, in the official language of the empire, to see that it is largely the same formal language which is used alike in the Forum for the advent of the emperor, and in the catacombs for the celebration of the "Epiphany of Christ" (p. 251). Who was worthy to ascend the throne of the universe and direct the course of history? Caesar, or Jesus?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Change your opinions, keep to your principles; change your leaves, keep intact your roots. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65220]]></link><description><![CDATA[Change your opinions, keep to your principles; change your leaves, keep intact your roots.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And a million horrible bellowing echoes broke From the red-ribb'd hollow behind the wood,  And thunder'd up into Heaven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13305]]></link><description><![CDATA[And a million horrible bellowing echoes broke From the red-ribb'd hollow behind the wood,  And thunder'd up into Heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace without justice is tyranny. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45907]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace without justice is tyranny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Idle people have the least leisure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50993]]></link><description><![CDATA[Idle people have the least leisure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[making excuses for the Saudi government. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28917]]></link><description><![CDATA[making excuses for the Saudi government.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is always safety in valor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60321]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is always safety in valor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kings play the fool, and the people suffer for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50289]]></link><description><![CDATA[Kings play the fool, and the people suffer for it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more education a woman has, the wider the gap between men's and women's earnings for the same work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65111]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more education a woman has, the wider the gap between men's and women's earnings for the same work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Indu'd With sanctity of reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53101]]></link><description><![CDATA[Indu'd With sanctity of reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60899]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Consider an enemy may become a friend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51135]]></link><description><![CDATA[Consider an enemy may become a friend.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11453]]></link><description><![CDATA[I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I have not lived.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who are prepared to die for any cause are seldom defeated. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11319]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who are prepared to die for any cause are seldom defeated.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What may be done at any time will be done at no time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51881]]></link><description><![CDATA[What may be done at any time will be done at no time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In theory there is no difference between theory and practice.

Jesus Christ, with a confidence that to the timid traditionalism of His time appeared blasphemous, asserted that He knew the Father and was prepared to let others into that knowledge. He did so, not by handing down a new tradition about God, but by making others sharers in His own attitude to God. This is what Paul means by "having the mind of Christ." It was this clear, unquestioning conviction that gave Paul his power as a missionary: but he expected it also in his converts. To them too "the world of knowledge" came "by the same Spirit". He prayed that God would give them a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. Such knowledge is, as Paul freely grants, only partial, but, so far as it goes, it is real, personal knowledge. In friendship between men there is a mutual knowledge which is never complete or free from mystery: yet you can know with a certainty nothing could shake, that your friend is "not the man to do such a thing", or that such-and-such a thing that you have heard is "just like him." You have a real knowledge which gives you a criterion. Such is the knowledge the Christian has of his Father.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes little talent to see clearly what lies under one's nose, a good deal of it to know in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58581]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes little talent to see clearly what lies under one's nose, a good deal of it to know in which direction to point that organ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My soul is dark! oh quickly string The harp I yet can brook to hear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48752]]></link><description><![CDATA[My soul is dark! oh quickly string The harp I yet can brook to hear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are eagles of one nest - the nest is in our soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53421]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are eagles of one nest - the nest is in our soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14948]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a comparison is made of the variant readings of the New Testament with those of other books which have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6703]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a comparison is made of the variant readings of the New Testament with those of other books which have survived from antiquity, the results are little short of astounding. For instance, although there are some 200,000 "errors" among the New Testament manuscripts, these appear in only about 10,000 places, and only about one-sixtieth rise above the level of trivialities. Westcott and Hort, Ezra Abbot, Philip Schaff, and A. T. Robertson have carefully evaluated the evidence and have concluded that the New Testament text is over 99 percent pure. In the light of the fact that there are over 5,000 Greek manuscripts, some 9,000 versions and translations, the evidence for the integrity of the New Testament is beyond question.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is more wretched that the mind of a man conscious of guilt. [Lat., Nihil est miserius quam animus hominis ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18473]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is more wretched that the mind of a man conscious of guilt. [Lat., Nihil est miserius quam animus hominis conscius.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It wouldn't be New Year's if I didn't have regrets. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64520]]></link><description><![CDATA[It wouldn't be New Year's if I didn't have regrets.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The diseases of the mind are more and more destructive than those of the body. [Lat., Morbi perniciores pluresque animi ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27513]]></link><description><![CDATA[The diseases of the mind are more and more destructive than those of the body. [Lat., Morbi perniciores pluresque animi quam corporis.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The great business of life is to be, to do, to do without, and to depart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24903]]></link><description><![CDATA[The great business of life is to be, to do, to do without, and to depart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24903</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wal-Mart kills local businesses.
