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[House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the Lord. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26547]]></link><description><![CDATA[House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Often, taking stock takes place in the context of a crisis.

It is personal, with things happening between people as well as to and in them individually; it is compassionate, always eager to help, observant but non judgmental toward others, breathing out hope and concern; it is creative, with imagination about each one in the group and its work as a whole, watching for authentic new vision coming from any of them; and it is expectant, always seeking to offer to God open and believing hearts and minds through which He can work out His will, either in the sometimes startling miracles He gives or in steady purpose through long stretches where there is no special "opening". It may fairly be said that unless one enmeshes himself in this "redemptive fellowship" of the church, he lessens his chances of steady growth and effectiveness, in his Christian life and experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We continue to have ongoing dialogue with both representatives.

Not long afterwards, as he ascended a small hillock, he saw at its foot a Lion feeding on the Calf. Terrified at the sight, he lifted his eyes and his hands to heaven, and said: Just now I vowed to offer a lamb to the Guardian Deities of the forest if I could only find out who had robbed me; but now that I have discovered the thief, I would willingly add a full-grown Bull to the Calf I have lost, if I may only secure my own escape from him in safety.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As soon as one project is finished I like to go straight on to something else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41408]]></link><description><![CDATA[As soon as one project is finished I like to go straight on to something else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It hurts a lot.
