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['Twas Christmas broached the mightiest ale, 'Twas Christmas told the merriest tale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51112]]></link><description><![CDATA['Twas Christmas broached the mightiest ale, 'Twas Christmas told the merriest tale.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The faith that stand on authority is not faith. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3504]]></link><description><![CDATA[The faith that stand on authority is not faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great families of yesterday we show, And lords whose parents were the Lord knows who. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2489]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great families of yesterday we show, And lords whose parents were the Lord knows who.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11908]]></link><description><![CDATA[Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's more likely to be brought in by the illegal movement of birds and bird products. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41839]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's more likely to be brought in by the illegal movement of birds and bird products.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ancestral voices prophesying war. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48451]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ancestral voices prophesying war.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They've become real Americans.
