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 long to believe in immortality. . . .

It is astonishing how a commandment so simple and distinct, and how a duty which you would have imagined would be eagerly greeted by the impulse of gratitude, of affection, and of compassion, was forgotten for so long a time, in the churches of the Reformation especially. Now we are accustomed to hear of mission work among the heathen nations, and to find that a great multitude of people are interested in it, and regard it with respect; but it was only at the commencement of the last century, and with great difficulty, [that] the attention of the Church was roused to this important duty; and even in the... Church of Scotland there were a number of ministers who thought that the state of heathenism was so utterly corrupt, and that there was so much to be done in our own country, that it was altogether a Utopian project to think of converting the idolaters, and that it was not our imperative duty to trouble ourselves with their wretched condition.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My living in Yorkshire was so far out of the way, that it was actually twelve miles from a lemon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24628]]></link><description><![CDATA[My living in Yorkshire was so far out of the way, that it was actually twelve miles from a lemon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hypocrisy in anything whatever may deceive the cleverest and most penetrating man, but the least wide-awake of children recognizes it, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20212]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hypocrisy in anything whatever may deceive the cleverest and most penetrating man, but the least wide-awake of children recognizes it, and is revolted by it, however ingeniously it may be disguised]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When something [an affliction] happens to you, you either let it defeat you, or you defeat it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1674]]></link><description><![CDATA[When something [an affliction] happens to you, you either let it defeat you, or you defeat it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But all (underclassmen) have a little chip on their shoulder.
