Christ stated emphatically that it was quite impossible, in the nature of things, for a man to be at peace with God and at variance with his neighbor. This disquieting fact is often hushed up, but it is undeniable that Christ said it, and the truth of it is enshrined in the petition for forgiveness in the "Lord's Prayer.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The king of France with twenty thousand men Went up the hill, and then came down again:  The king ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57125]]></link><description><![CDATA[The king of France with twenty thousand men Went up the hill, and then came down again:  The king of Spain with twenty thousand more   Climbed the same hill the French had climbed before.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66632]]></link><description><![CDATA[One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How good bad music and bad reasons sound when we march against an enemy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61215]]></link><description><![CDATA[How good bad music and bad reasons sound when we march against an enemy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love that we can not have is the one that lasts the longest, hurts the deepest and feels the strongest... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25972]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love that we can not have is the one that lasts the longest, hurts the deepest and feels the strongest...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad itseems today, life does go on, and it will be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25222]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad itseems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned thatyou can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things:a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned thatregardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they'regone from your life. I've learned that making a living is not the same thing asmaking a life. I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on bothhands; you need to be able to throw some things back. I've learned that wheneverI decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I'velearned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned thatevery day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, orjust a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what youdid, but people will never forget how you made them feel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Waiting, are they?

But it was different with those who could claim no such prerogative, and with those Jews who had become uneasy as to the grounds of such a relation and their validity -- in a word, with any who had been led by conscience to take a deeper view of the consequences of sin. So long as these were found mainly in punishment, suffering, judgment, so long 'remission of sins' -- letting off the consequences -- might suffice. But when it was recognized that sin had a far more serious consequence in alienation from God, the severing of the fellowship between God and His children, then Justification... ceased to be sufficient. 'Forgiveness' took on a deeper meaning; it connoted restoration of the fellowship, the establishment or reestablishment of a relation which could be described on the one side as fatherly, on the other as filial.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing succeeds like success. [Fr., Rien ne reussit comme le succes.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48954]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing succeeds like success. [Fr., Rien ne reussit comme le succes.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63724]]></link><description><![CDATA[All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If two men on the same job agree all the time, then one is useless.
