His presence must never be used to provide a Christian justification for evil. To stand as a co-belligerent and not an ally will be to rally the middle ground for a genuine Third Way without mediocre compromise. The Third Way will not be easy. It will be lonely. Sometimes the Christian must have the courage to stand with the establishment, speaking boldly to the radicals and pointing out the destructive and counter-productive nature of their violence. At other times, he will stand as a co-belligerent with the radicals in their outrage and just demands for redress. The Christian is a co-belligerent with either or both when either or both are right, but... fearless in his opposition to either or both when they are wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between pain and boredom ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4715]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between pain and boredom]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In suggesting gifts: Money is appropriate, and one size fits all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15946]]></link><description><![CDATA[In suggesting gifts: Money is appropriate, and one size fits all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance and I know of no substitute whatever for the force ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16436]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In both fees and commissions, they're in good shape. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36838]]></link><description><![CDATA[In both fees and commissions, they're in good shape.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No poor bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.
