There is no feeble unconcern and indiscriminateness there, and neither is there any excited hatred of the creed, the doctrine, or the Church, which you feel wholly wrong. You have not fled out of the furnace of bigotry to freeze on the open and desolate plains of indifference.

We seem here to have a paradox: that the reality of an event, which is not real in itself, arises from the other events which, likewise, in themselves are not real. But this only affirms what we must affirm: that direction is all. And only as we realize this do we live, for our own identity is dependent upon this principal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To hear is to heed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50408]]></link><description><![CDATA[To hear is to heed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We shall show mercy, but we shall not ask for it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27327]]></link><description><![CDATA[We shall show mercy, but we shall not ask for it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you break 100, watch your golf.

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[Nothing is improbable until it moves into the past tense ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35528]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is improbable until it moves into the past tense]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no faith which has never yet been broken except that of a truly faithful dog. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12700]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no faith which has never yet been broken except that of a truly faithful dog.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wasn't much older than the students.
