As the Christian life is, above all things, a state of union with Christ, and of union of his followers with one another, love of the brethren is inseparable from love of God. Resentment toward any human being cannot exist in the same heart with love to God. The personal relationship to Christ can only be realized when one has "come to himself" as a member of His Body, the Christian fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greater the feeling of inferiority that has been experienced, the more powerful is the urge to conquest and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20797]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greater the feeling of inferiority that has been experienced, the more powerful is the urge to conquest and the more violent the emotional agitation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Originality provokes originality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48986]]></link><description><![CDATA[Originality provokes originality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was an infantry officer in the Army from 1969 to 1971.

Men in my platoon who had served time in Vietnam told me many stories—but none more chilling than the one from two helicopter pilots. They told me how they would shoot the friendlies on their way back from reconnaissance missions just so they could empty their ammunition before returning to base. The friendlies were South Vietnamese women and children, helpless victims in a war they did not understand. But to the American pilots, they were simply dots on the ground.Whitehead is a political conservative.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The court is like a palace built of marble; I mean that it is made up of very hard but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54480]]></link><description><![CDATA[The court is like a palace built of marble; I mean that it is made up of very hard but very polished people. [Fr., La cour est comme un edifice bati de marbre; je veux dire qu'elle est composee d'hommes fort durs mais fort polis.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The artist envies what the arties gains, The bard the rival bard's successful strains. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14013]]></link><description><![CDATA[The artist envies what the arties gains, The bard the rival bard's successful strains.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have forgotten the gracious hand which has preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8561]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have forgotten the gracious hand which has preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and have vainly imagined in the deceitfulness of our hearts that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.

Love comes into it too, of course, but in Europe we tend to see marital love as an eternity which encompasses hate and also indifference: when we promise to love we really mean that we promise to honor a contract.

Love is such that, without experiencing the joy of union with the object of our love, there is a real sense in which "the soul dies." A man who loves God according to the Conob idiom would say "my soul dies for God." This not only describes the powerful emotion felt by the one who loves, but it should imply a related truth -- namely, that in true love there is no room for self. The man who loves God must die to self. True love is, of all emotions, the most unselfish, for it does not look out for self but for others. False love seeks to possess; true love seeks to be possessed. False love leads to cancerous jealousy; true love leads to a life-giving ministry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3297]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3297</guid></item></channel></rss>
