We cannot easily discover our real character from a friend. He is a mirror, on which the warmth of our breath impedes the clearness of the reflection. •Ricther  Mankind's worst enemy is fear of work. •Anonymous  Enemies promises were made to be broken. •Aesop   The worst tyrants are those which establish themselves in our own breasts. •William Ellery Channing   You shall judge a man by his foes as well as by his friends. •Joseph Conrad   Love your enemies just in case your friends turn out to be a bunch of bastards. •R A Dickson   I have met the enemy, and it is the eyes of other people. •Benjamin Franklin   A wise man learns more from his enemies than a fool from his friends. •Baltasar Gracian   I have no trouble with my enemies.

Kennedy   Only enemies speak the truth.

Simpson   Convince an enemy, convince him that he's wrong. To win a bloodless battle, the victory is long. A simple act of faith, reason over might.

This is plainly what has happened to many otherwise intelligent people. Over the years I have had hundreds of conversations with people, many of them of higher intellectual calibre than my own, who quite obviously had no idea of what Christianity is really about. I was in no case trying to catch them out: I was simply and gently trying to find out what they knew about the New Testament. My conclusion was that they knew virtually nothing. This I find pathetic and somewhat horrifying. It means that the most important Event in human history is politely and quietly bypassed. For it is not as though the evidence had been examined and found unconvincing: it had simply never been examined.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My confidence (defensively) definitely grew as the season went on, and the last month and a half, two months did ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35270]]></link><description><![CDATA[My confidence (defensively) definitely grew as the season went on, and the last month and a half, two months did wonders for my confidence.
