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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The real death of America will come when everyone is alike. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12592]]></link><description><![CDATA[The real death of America will come when everyone is alike.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19036]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have to understand, for a torture victim, this is an independent confirmation, ...

Examples could be multiplied. This type of service is a great witness to the reality of Christian life and faith; but it presupposes a spirit of fellowship within the Church, a spirit which is all too rare. It means that there is mutual respect and trust between the minister and the members of his Church; and a spirit of fellowship which is outward-looking and which issues in service.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't change who you are.

Do they not set forth the covenant of grace? The doctrine of justification by faith -- does not Paul in his Epistle to the Romans prove it from Genesis and from the Psalms? Where is the doctrine of substitution and the vicarious sufferings of the messiah set forth more clearly than in Leviticus and in the 53rd of Isaiah? The term "Old Testament" leads people to fancy it is an antiquated book; whereas, in many respects, it is newer than the New Testament, referring more fully to the age of glory and blessedness on the earth which is still before us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A discontented man knowes not where to sit easie. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49012]]></link><description><![CDATA[A discontented man knowes not where to sit easie.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heaven goes by favor; if it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19106]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heaven goes by favor; if it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61656]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61656</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're happy to take monies to build this library in whatever form. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35647]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're happy to take monies to build this library in whatever form.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the devil drives, needs must.
