Take heed to yourselves: love them. In no way can thy enemy so hurt thee by his violence, as thou dost hurt thyself if thou love him not. And let it not seem to you impossible to love him. Believe first that it can be done, and pray that the will of God may be done in you. For what good can thy neighbor's ill do to thee? If he had no ill, he would not even be thine enemy. Wish him well, then, that he may end his ill, and he will be thine enemy no longer. For it is not the human nature in him that is at enmity with thee, but his sin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be of good cheer about death and know this as a truth-- that no evil can happen to a good ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4152]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be of good cheer about death and know this as a truth-- that no evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No matter who you vote for, the Government always gets in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60976]]></link><description><![CDATA[No matter who you vote for, the Government always gets in.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know that you are in love when the hardest thing to do is say good-bye!! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25971]]></link><description><![CDATA[You know that you are in love when the hardest thing to do is say good-bye!!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25971</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[…a few philosophers really do important work.

It is only in the secondary esoteric sphere of the religious life that we find guarantees and a general attempt to compel faith. To demand guarantees and proofs of faith is to fail to understand its very nature by denying the free, heroic act which it inspires. In really authentic and original religious experience, to the existence of which the history of the human spirit bears abundant witness, faith springs up without the aid of guarantees and compelling proofs, without any external coercion or the use of authority.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Bear and the FoxA bear boasted very much of his philanthropy, saying that of all animals he was the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1528]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Bear and the FoxA bear boasted very much of his philanthropy, saying that of all animals he was the most tender in his regard for man, for he had such respect for him that he would not even touch his dead body.
