Had that been the case, it is not too bold to say that the new religion could not have conquered the Empire. It was because Christianity appealed direct to the people, addressed them in their own language, and made itself comprehensible to them on their own plane of thought, that it met the needs and filled the heart of the Roman world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I realized my family was funny, because nobody ever wanted to leave our house. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29509]]></link><description><![CDATA[I realized my family was funny, because nobody ever wanted to leave our house.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Frederick Denison Maurice, Priest, teacher, 1872   Infant Baptism... has been a witness for the Son of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7012]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Frederick Denison Maurice, Priest, teacher, 1872   Infant Baptism... has been a witness for the Son of Man and the universality of His Kingdom, like no other. It has taught parents that to bring children into the world is not a horrible crime. It has led them to see Christ and His redemption of humanity through all the mists of our teachings and our qualifications.

It is important to assert this, because if we do not do so, the limit which we know apart from Christ becomes determinative of our outlook. That limit is death -- the death of the individual, and the death of the social structure in which his corporate personality is embodied. When these are the only limits that men know, then they are left in a hopeless alternation between hope for an individual survival of death, which evacuates their corporate life of ultimate significance, and hope for the eternity of some social or political or cultural achievement, which evacuates personal existence of ultimate significance. This false alternation is overcome in Christ in whom we are brought into relation with the true limit -- a consummation of all things in which both the significance of each personal life and the significance of history as a whole are to be gathered up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would do anything Tim [Burton] wanted me to.

Doc Childre, The How To Book of Teen Self Discovery When I start appreciating, I look at it like business. I start by appreciating life itself. After all, life is really a gift. It might not always seem like that's true, but it is. If nothing else, it's a gift of discovery. So I appreciate that! Doc Childre and Sara Paddision, HeartMath Discovery Program What you put out comes back. The more you sincerely appreciate life from the heart, the more the magnetic energy of appreciation attracts fulfilling life experiences to you, both personally and professionally. Learning how to appreciate more consistently offers many benefits and applications. Appreciation is an easy heart frequency to activate and it can help shift your perspectives quickly. Learning how to appreciate both pleasant and even seemingly unpleasant experiences is a key to increased fulfillment.
