He called for the love of our enemies, not their destruction; ... for readiness to suffer instead of using force; for forgiveness instead of hate and revenge. One might even say [that] Jesus was more revolutionary than the revolutionaries, or revolutionary in a very different way. The revolution he had in mind was a radical change of heart on the part of mankind, involving conversion away from selfishness and toward the willing service of God and of people in general.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sad part about airports is it is hard to build a new one.

It was no use preaching the gospel only to those who came to church to hear it. The gospel ought to be preached to those who didn't want to hear it as well: to industrialists in their offices, to clubmen in their windows, to workers in their yards and factories, to bibbers in their taverns, to harlots in their doorways, to all those should the sweet tidings of Christ be taught. It was a sorry matter for reflection that it was only heretics who dared to brave the sneers of the mob by crying aloud the Name of Jesus at street corners and in the market place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a group in society, we've simply been ignored. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28523]]></link><description><![CDATA[As a group in society, we've simply been ignored.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to be hated for who you are, than to be loved for someone you are not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18797]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to be hated for who you are, than to be loved for someone you are not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first principle of success is desire -- knowing what you want.
