This, combined with exactness and breadth of scholarship, led him so to translate the Greek New Testament into English as largely to determine the character, form, and style of the Authorized Version. There have been some painstaking calculations to determine just how large a part Tyndale may have had in the production of the version of 1611. A comparison of Tyndale's version of I John and that of the Authorized Version shows that nine-tenths of the latter is retained from the martyred translator's work. Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians retains five-sixths of Tyndale's translation. These proportions are maintained throughout the entire New Testament. Such an influence as that upon the English Bible cannot be attributed to any other man in all the past. More than that, Tyndale set a standard for the English language that molded in part the character and style of the tongue during the great Elizabethan era and all subsequent time. He gave the language fixity, volubleness, grace, beauty, simplicity, and directness. His influence as a man of letters was permanent on the style and literary taste of the English people, and of all who admire the superiority and epochal character of the literature of the sixteenth century.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today's egg is better than tomorrow's hen ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5282]]></link><description><![CDATA[Today's egg is better than tomorrow's hen]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take only memories, leave nothing but footprints. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26970]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take only memories, leave nothing but footprints.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Resignation is putting God between ourselves and our troubles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53948]]></link><description><![CDATA[Resignation is putting God between ourselves and our troubles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Through the magic of motion pictures, someone who's never left Peoria knows the softness of a Paris spring, the color ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9363]]></link><description><![CDATA[Through the magic of motion pictures, someone who's never left Peoria knows the softness of a Paris spring, the color of a Nile sunset, the sorts of vegetation one will find along the upper Amazon and that Big Ben has not yet gone digital.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The butcher in his killing clothes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5138]]></link><description><![CDATA[The butcher in his killing clothes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Open-mindedness should not be fostered because, as Scripture teaches, Truth is great and will prevail, nor because, as Milton suggests, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27698]]></link><description><![CDATA[Open-mindedness should not be fostered because, as Scripture teaches, Truth is great and will prevail, nor because, as Milton suggests, Truth will always win in a free and open encounter.

The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you believe you can, you probably can.
