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[We recognize the duty of governments to combat crime, but this is a knee-jerk response -- it shows that China's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41753]]></link><description><![CDATA[We recognize the duty of governments to combat crime, but this is a knee-jerk response -- it shows that China's 'Strike Hard' crime campaign mentality is still prevalent, at least in some parts of the country.

The Mother coming up, and missing one of her sons, inquired of his brothers what had become of him. He is dead, dear Mother; for just now a very huge beast with four great feet came to the pool and crushed him to death with his cloven heel. The Frog, puffing herself out, inquired, if the beast was as big as that in size. Cease, Mother, to puff yourself out, said her son, and do not be angry; for you would, I assure you, sooner burst than successfully imitate the hugeness of that monster.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A world community can exist only with world communication, which means something more than extensive shortwave facilities scattered about the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9075]]></link><description><![CDATA[A world community can exist only with world communication, which means something more than extensive shortwave facilities scattered about the globe.
