It cures the poignantly frustrated not by conferring upon them an absolute truth or by remedying the difficulties and abuses which made their lives miserable, but by freeing them from their ineffectual selves- and it does this by enfolding and absorbing them into a closely knit and exultant corporate whole.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisedome hath one foot on Land, and another on Sea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50117]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisedome hath one foot on Land, and another on Sea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Innovation is the ability to see change as an opportunity - not a threat ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20976]]></link><description><![CDATA[Innovation is the ability to see change as an opportunity - not a threat]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Hilda, Abbess of Whitby, 680 Commemoration of Elizabeth, Princess of Hungary, Philanthropist, 1231 Commemoration of Mechtild, Bèguine of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7990]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Hilda, Abbess of Whitby, 680 Commemoration of Elizabeth, Princess of Hungary, Philanthropist, 1231 Commemoration of Mechtild, Bèguine of Magdeburg, Mystic, Prophet, 1280    [At the Garden of Olives Monastery]  "Why are you all so quiet all the time?" I say, still whispering at him in this hoarse voice.  "We are teachers and workers," he says, "not talkers."  "Workers, O.K.," I say, "but how can a teacher be quiet all the time and teach anybody anything?"  "Christ was the best," he says, thinking of something. "He lived thirty-three years.

This, combined with exactness and breadth of scholarship, led him so to translate the Greek New Testament into English as largely to determine the character, form, and style of the Authorized Version. There have been some painstaking calculations to determine just how large a part Tyndale may have had in the production of the version of 1611. A comparison of Tyndale's version of I John and that of the Authorized Version shows that nine-tenths of the latter is retained from the martyred translator's work. Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians retains five-sixths of Tyndale's translation. These proportions are maintained throughout the entire New Testament. Such an influence as that upon the English Bible cannot be attributed to any other man in all the past. More than that, Tyndale set a standard for the English language that molded in part the character and style of the tongue during the great Elizabethan era and all subsequent time. He gave the language fixity, volubleness, grace, beauty, simplicity, and directness. His influence as a man of letters was permanent on the style and literary taste of the English people, and of all who admire the superiority and epochal character of the literature of the sixteenth century.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just; And four times he who gets his fist in fust. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23638]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just; And four times he who gets his fist in fust.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The intellect of man is forced to choose perfection of the life, or of the work, and if it take ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46123]]></link><description><![CDATA[The intellect of man is forced to choose perfection of the life, or of the work, and if it take the second must refuse a heavenly mansion, raging in the dark.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43452]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hatred of relatives is the most violent. [Lat., Accerima proximorum odia.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51678]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hatred of relatives is the most violent. [Lat., Accerima proximorum odia.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51678</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He didn't get enough credit.
