His way is the way of the Cross. The world can be very hard on those it hates. If it is not hard on you, perhaps it sees nothing in you to hate. But then it doesn't see Jesus in you, for it hates Jesus with an undying hatred. While your way is still all fun, all easy, all jolly, it is only your way: when you turn from it to follow His way, it will cost. It may cost you everything you have. That is what it cost Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hatred is gained as much by good works as by evil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63400]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hatred is gained as much by good works as by evil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing can allay the rage of biting envy. [Lat., Rabiem livoris acerbi  Nulla potest placare quies.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14007]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing can allay the rage of biting envy. [Lat., Rabiem livoris acerbi  Nulla potest placare quies.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was just so happy for them.

Here, in 1878, Engels apodictically announced that military weapons are "now so perfected that no further progress of any revolutionizing influence is any longer possible." Henceforth "all further [technological] progress is by and large indifferent for land warfare. The age of evolution is in this regard essentially closed." This complacent conclusion shows in what the achievement of the innovator consists: he accomplishes what other people believe to be unthinkable and unfeasible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be true to the best you know.
