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[No man can eat fifty eggs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18312]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man can eat fifty eggs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18312</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people are more comfortable with old problems than with new solutions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10598]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most people are more comfortable with old problems than with new solutions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tree that is beside the running water is fresher and gives more fruit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64489]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tree that is beside the running water is fresher and gives more fruit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some are weather-wise, some are otherwise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26319]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some are weather-wise, some are otherwise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a modest budget.

That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ignatius of Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus, 1556  Jesus used the term abba (which means ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6261]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ignatius of Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus, 1556  Jesus used the term abba (which means father or "daddy" in his Aramaic mother tongue), as an address in his prayers to God. There are no other examples of this usage in contemporary Judaism, but Jesus always addressed God in this way. The others perhaps regarded it as child's talk, a form of expression too disrespectful to be so used. But for Jesus, abba expressed the filial intimacy he felt toward his Father. As the divine Son of the Father, Jesus enjoyed a unique relationship with him, and his mission in the world consisted in opening up the blessings of sonship to those who believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have exclusive access to Alexis as he goes through the process. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33192]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have exclusive access to Alexis as he goes through the process.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Language exerts hidden power, like the moon on the tides. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24072]]></link><description><![CDATA[Language exerts hidden power, like the moon on the tides.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bee not a Baker, if your head be of butter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49150]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bee not a Baker, if your head be of butter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life has always taken place in a tumult without apparent cohesion, but it only finds its grandeur and its reality ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2186]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life has always taken place in a tumult without apparent cohesion, but it only finds its grandeur and its reality in ecstasy and in ecstatic love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can take away a man's gods, but only to give himothers in return. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27437]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can take away a man's gods, but only to give himothers in return.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A buddy of mine, [Atlanta rookie] Jeff Francoeur, when he hit his first home run, I saw them give him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30634]]></link><description><![CDATA[A buddy of mine, [Atlanta rookie] Jeff Francoeur, when he hit his first home run, I saw them give him the silent treatment and ignore him.
