Hence it was firmly seated first on the great lines of communication across the empire, leading from its origin in Jerusalem to its imperial center in Rome. 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[I think the reason she's done so many of these films is because the '50s is such a rich era ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37206]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the reason she's done so many of these films is because the '50s is such a rich era for describing the journey of a woman,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Riches are a good handmaiden, but the worst mistress. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61450]]></link><description><![CDATA[Riches are a good handmaiden, but the worst mistress.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's crazy and it just got crazier, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37654]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's crazy and it just got crazier,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If they avoid an area because of development, it's not usually a matter of them being able to go somewhere ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30977]]></link><description><![CDATA[If they avoid an area because of development, it's not usually a matter of them being able to go somewhere else, ...

How could pagans have developed words for Christian ideas which have never occurred to them? This identical situation existed when the Holy Spirit inspired the New Testament. At that time many pagan words, with pagan-thought background, were used in Christian contexts; by the contexts the present Christian meaning eventually built up, until it was possible to express all the Christian meaning in the pagan terms.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's impossible to move, to live, to operate at any level without leaving traces, bits, seemingly meaningless fragments of personal ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9421]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's impossible to move, to live, to operate at any level without leaving traces, bits, seemingly meaningless fragments of personal information.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is not averse to deceit in a holy cause. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11515]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is not averse to deceit in a holy cause.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think her overwhelming legacy is one of having made the office of Governor General visible and engaged in a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38458]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think her overwhelming legacy is one of having made the office of Governor General visible and engaged in a way that it certainly hadn't been in at least a generation, if not more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/115]]></link><description><![CDATA[Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I remember the silence, the eerie sound of silence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28879]]></link><description><![CDATA[I remember the silence, the eerie sound of silence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A human being is a part of the whole, called by us Universe, a part limited in time and space. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60216]]></link><description><![CDATA[A human being is a part of the whole, called by us Universe, a part limited in time and space.
