His way is the way of the Cross. The world can be very hard on those it hates. If it is not hard on you, perhaps it sees nothing in you to hate. But then it doesn't see Jesus in you, for it hates Jesus with an undying hatred. While your way is still all fun, all easy, all jolly, it is only your way: when you turn from it to follow His way, it will cost. It may cost you everything you have. That is what it cost Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the same [hospitable] manner that a Calabrian would press you to eat his pears. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50276]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the same [hospitable] manner that a Calabrian would press you to eat his pears.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let our friends perish, provided that our enemies fall at the same time. [Lat., Pereant amici, dum una inimici intercidant.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13848]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let our friends perish, provided that our enemies fall at the same time. [Lat., Pereant amici, dum una inimici intercidant.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58720]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like it better than running because running kills my knees.

It is almost as offensive to modern man, brought up in the atmosphere of relativism, in which tolerance is regarded almost as the highest of the virtues. But we must not suppose that this claim to universal validity is something that can quietly be removed from the Gospel without changing it into something entirely different from what it is... Jesus' life, his method, and his message do not make sense, unless they are interpreted in the light of his own conviction that he was in fact the final and decisive word of God to men... For the human sickness there is one specific remedy, and this is it. There is no other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42919]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Journalism is popular, but it is popular mainly as fiction.
