Be near me when all else is from me drifting;   Earth, sky, home's pictures, days of shade and shine, And kindly faces to my own uplifting   The love that answers mine. I have but Thee, my Father! let Thy spirit   Be with me then to comfort and uphold; No gate of pearl, no branch of palm I merit,   Nor street of shining gold. Suffice it if -- my good and ill unreckoned,   And both forgiven through Thy abounding grace - I find myself by hands familiar beckoned   Unto my fitting place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I destroy my enemy when I make him my friend.

Kennedy   Only enemies speak the truth.

Nay, who but infants question in such wise, 'twas one of my most intimate enemies. •Dante Gabriel Rossetti   Remember, to them it is us who are the enemy. •N. F. 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. To blow up his children would only prove him right. •Gordon Sumner   One enemy can do more hurt than ten friends can do good. •Jonathan Swift   In my life, I have prayed but one prayer: oh Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.
