Portia has already made history, and looks set to consolidate her place in the history books of the future by becoming Jamaica's first female prime minister. She has proven herself to be a likeable and strong-willed woman.

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[We are all mortal until the first kiss and the second glass of wine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46330]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are all mortal until the first kiss and the second glass of wine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46330</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good intentions are at least, the seed of good actions; and every one ought to sow them, and leave It ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22939]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good intentions are at least, the seed of good actions; and every one ought to sow them, and leave It to the soil and the seasons whether He or any other gather they fruit]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22939</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each story I've written starts out as a vague idea that seems to be going nowhere, then suddenly materializes as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31613]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each story I've written starts out as a vague idea that seems to be going nowhere, then suddenly materializes as a completed concept.

Its complete bondage to nature has enclosed the mind and spirit of man in a fast prison out of which, try as he may, he can find no way of escape. The inability to perceive any longer the reality of things invisible and unseen is a sickness of the soul which cries out to be cured. The only way to dispel the darkness of the present age and liberate it from the prison within which it has become bound is to restore the proper relationship of nature to supernature and of time to eternity as an essential feature of external reality. Until this can be accomplished, there is really very little that the Church or Christianity in general has to offer to this age.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The theme of satsangh: that there is Salvation in numbers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15172]]></link><description><![CDATA[The theme of satsangh: that there is Salvation in numbers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never expected this type of game in a mid-week contest with Cumberland.
