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[I want to come across as a positive person. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66360]]></link><description><![CDATA[I want to come across as a positive person.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no such thing as truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57103]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no such thing as truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who complain that they make no progress in the life of prayer because they "cannot meditate" should examine, not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7620]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who complain that they make no progress in the life of prayer because they "cannot meditate" should examine, not their capacity for meditation, but their capacity for suffering and love.

But at the submicroscopic level, specks of matter scattered through a vast emptiness have such incredible density and weight, and are linked to one another by such powerful forces, that together they produce all the properties of concrete, cast iron and solid rock. In much the same way, specks of knowledge are scattered through a vast emptiness of ignorance, and everything depends upon how solid the individual specks of knowledge are, and on how powerfully linked and coordinated they are with one another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The current immigration system lacks the fundamental understanding of the need for immigrants in this country. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28773]]></link><description><![CDATA[The current immigration system lacks the fundamental understanding of the need for immigrants in this country.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have a solution for war.

Simone Weil  August 18, 2000   My biological work convinced me that the One who was declared dead by Nietzsche, and silent by Sartre, actually is very much alive and speaking to us through all things.  ... C. J. Briejèr, letter to Rachel Carson August 19, 2000   The Christian cell in a factory or a professional circle, funding its own activities, deciding its own pattern of work, studying the Bible and perhaps celebrating the Lord's supper as an entity on its own, comes very much closer to Independency as Robert Browne saw it than the unholy isolationism of a prosperous suburban church, with 200 members who scarcely know each other by sight. If a sizable proportion of the Free Church ministry were enabled to become itinerant once again -- not necessarily itinerant in the geographical sense, but itinerant in the complex mazes of contemporary society, fathers in God to Christian organisms evolved by the lay men and women who spend their lives in these mazes -- new heart would be put into both ministry and laity, and incidentally, new impetus given to the search for Christian unity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She was there when her mom died.
