One does not find the optative forms of polite petition so characteristic of elaborate requests made to earthly and heavenly potentates. Rather than employing such august forms, the Christians made their requests to God in what seem to be blunt imperatives. This does not mean that Christians lacked respect for their heavenly father, but it does mean that they were consistent with a new understanding of Him. In the tens of thousands of papyri fragments which have been rescued from the rubbish heaps of the ancient Greek world, one finds the imperative forms used constantly between members of a family. When the Christians addressed God as "Father," it was perfectly natural therefore for them to talk to Him as intimately as they would to their own father. Unfortunately, the history of our own English language has almost reversed this process. Originally, men used "thou" and "thee" in prayer because it was the appropriate familiar form of address; but now these words have become relegated to prayer alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/561]]></link><description><![CDATA[Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are all born charming, fresh, and spontaneous and must be civilized before we are fit to participate in society. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5766]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are all born charming, fresh, and spontaneous and must be civilized before we are fit to participate in society.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We get so much in the habit of wearing disguises before others that we finally appear disguised before ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18516]]></link><description><![CDATA[We get so much in the habit of wearing disguises before others that we finally appear disguised before ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The NFL is a fraternity,'' Rudd said. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35387]]></link><description><![CDATA[The NFL is a fraternity,'' Rudd said.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Statistics are no substitute for judgment ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57862]]></link><description><![CDATA[Statistics are no substitute for judgment]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perhaps America will one day go fascist democratically, by popular vote. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47135]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perhaps America will one day go fascist democratically, by popular vote.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All good things are wild, and free. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17833]]></link><description><![CDATA[All good things are wild, and free.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On the king's gate the moss grew gray; The king came not.
