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[Better to be driven out from among men than to be disliked of children. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5989]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better to be driven out from among men than to be disliked of children.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who knows whether the gods will add tomorrow to the present hour? [Lat., Quis scit, an adjiciant hodiernae crastina summae ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60018]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who knows whether the gods will add tomorrow to the present hour? [Lat., Quis scit, an adjiciant hodiernae crastina summae  Tempora di superi?]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60018</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I were given the opportunity to present a gift to the next generation, it would be the ability for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17231]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I were given the opportunity to present a gift to the next generation, it would be the ability for each individual to learn to laugh at himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You two are book-men. -Love's Labour 's Lost.
