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[The greatest thing you can do for someone is to love them and show them how to love back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25819]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest thing you can do for someone is to love them and show them how to love back.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing to do but work, Nothing to eat but food,  Nothing to wear out but clothes,   To ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44669]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing to do but work, Nothing to eat but food,  Nothing to wear out but clothes,   To keep one from going nude.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44669</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hate undermines communities, hate undermines democracy and so we look at it in a different way.

When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are some remedies worse than the disease. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53782]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are some remedies worse than the disease.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who has it in his power to commit sin, is less inclined to do so.

But when we analyze it, it turns into a complex tangle of paradoxes. We become ourselves by dying to ourselves. We gain only what we give up, and if we give up everything we gain everything. We cannot find ourselves within ourselves, but only in others; yet at the same time, before we can go out to others we must first find ourselves. We must forget ourselves in order to become truly conscious of who we are. The best way to love ourselves is to love others; yet we cannot love others unless we love ourselves, since it is written, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." But if we love ourselves in the wrong way, we become incapable of loving anybody else. And indeed when we love ourselves wrongly, we hate ourselves; if we hate ourselves we cannot help hating others. Yet there is a sense in which we must hate others and leave them in order to find God... As for this finding of God, we cannot even look for Him unless we have already found Him, and we cannot find Him unless He has first found us. We cannot begin to seek Him without a special gift of His grace; yet if we wait for grace to move us before beginning to seek Him, we will probably never begin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[One protest leader, Renato Reyes, said that a] people power ...

You will see at once that this is an impossibility.

Enacting it doesn’t give them power. Enacting it gives them lives that are satisfying and meaningful to them. This is what you’ll find if you go among them. They’re not seething with discontent and rebellion, not incessantly wrangling over what should be allowed and what forbidden, not forever accusing each other of not living the right way, not living in terror of each other not going crazy because their lives seem empty and pointless, not having to stupefy themselves with drugs to get through the days, not having a new religion every week to give them something to hold on to, not forever searching for something to do or something to believe in that will make lives worth living. And – I repeat – this is not because they live close to nature or have no formal government or because they’re innately noble. This is simply because they’re enacting a story that works well for people – a story that worked well for three million years and that still works well where the Takers haven’t yet managed to stamp it out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Competitions are for horse, not artist. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57619]]></link><description><![CDATA[Competitions are for horse, not artist.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Keeping your clothes well pressed will keep you from looking hard pressed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12970]]></link><description><![CDATA[Keeping your clothes well pressed will keep you from looking hard pressed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10918]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be content with little is hard; to be content with much, impossible ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63213]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be content with little is hard; to be content with much, impossible]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[None of the competitors is stronger than him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28531]]></link><description><![CDATA[None of the competitors is stronger than him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hobbes: Do you think there's a God?
