But when we analyze it, it turns into a complex tangle of paradoxes. We become ourselves by dying to ourselves. We gain only what we give up, and if we give up everything we gain everything. We cannot find ourselves within ourselves, but only in others; yet at the same time, before we can go out to others we must first find ourselves. We must forget ourselves in order to become truly conscious of who we are. The best way to love ourselves is to love others; yet we cannot love others unless we love ourselves, since it is written, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." But if we love ourselves in the wrong way, we become incapable of loving anybody else. And indeed when we love ourselves wrongly, we hate ourselves; if we hate ourselves we cannot help hating others. Yet there is a sense in which we must hate others and leave them in order to find God... As for this finding of God, we cannot even look for Him unless we have already found Him, and we cannot find Him unless He has first found us. We cannot begin to seek Him without a special gift of His grace; yet if we wait for grace to move us before beginning to seek Him, we will probably never begin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Philosophy is a study that lets us be unhappy more intelligently. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46528]]></link><description><![CDATA[Philosophy is a study that lets us be unhappy more intelligently.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mother said to her daughter, "Daughter, bid thy daughter tell her daughter that her daughter's daughter hath a daughter." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43202]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mother said to her daughter, "Daughter, bid thy daughter tell her daughter that her daughter's daughter hath a daughter."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You've got to put it out of your mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28368]]></link><description><![CDATA[You've got to put it out of your mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spencer's running across field calling out, 'come inside me, come inside me.' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57658]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spencer's running across field calling out, 'come inside me, come inside me.']]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men resort to talking only when they haven't the power to enforce their convictions upon others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47189]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men resort to talking only when they haven't the power to enforce their convictions upon others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have always said and felt that true enjoyment can not be described. [Fr., Je l'ai toujours dit et senti, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13933]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have always said and felt that true enjoyment can not be described. [Fr., Je l'ai toujours dit et senti, la veritable jouissance ne se decrit point.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Life! thou art a galling load, Along a rough, a weary road, To wretches such as I. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24884]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Life! thou art a galling load, Along a rough, a weary road, To wretches such as I.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10932]]></link><description><![CDATA[No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other's worth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the very books in which philosophers bid us scorn fame, they inscribe their names. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15116]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the very books in which philosophers bid us scorn fame, they inscribe their names.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have all the light we need, we just need to put it in practice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21148]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have all the light we need, we just need to put it in practice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn it into glory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13798]]></link><description><![CDATA[Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn it into glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In war, the stronger overcomes the weaker.
