Take heed to yourselves: love them. In no way can thy enemy so hurt thee by his violence, as thou dost hurt thyself if thou love him not. And let it not seem to you impossible to love him. Believe first that it can be done, and pray that the will of God may be done in you. For what good can thy neighbor's ill do to thee? If he had no ill, he would not even be thine enemy. Wish him well, then, that he may end his ill, and he will be thine enemy no longer. For it is not the human nature in him that is at enmity with thee, but his sin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conservatism is the blind and fear-filled worship of dead radicals ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9856]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conservatism is the blind and fear-filled worship of dead radicals]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is that in the Gospel with which no one is allowed to argue.

All we can do is believe or disbelieve; to give it in our life the place of the final reality to which everything else must give way, or to refuse it that place. Many people ... would like to talk the Word of God over. It raises in their minds various questions they would willingly discuss. It has aspects of interest and of difficulty which call for consideration; and so on. Perhaps there are some that confusedly shield themselves against the responsibilities of faith and unbelief by such thoughts. All that such thoughts prove, however, is that those who cherish them have never yet realized that what we are dealing with in the Gospel is GOD. When God speaks in Christ, He reveals His gracious will without qualification. And without qualification, we have to believe in it, or refuse to believe, and so decide the controversy between ourselves and Him. God has not come into the world in Christ ... to be talked about, but to become the supreme reality on the life of men, or to be excluded from that place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When admirals extoll'd for standing still, Of doing nothing with a deal of skill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23930]]></link><description><![CDATA[When admirals extoll'd for standing still, Of doing nothing with a deal of skill.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are searching for some kind of harmony between two intangibles: a form which we have not yet designed and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31813]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are searching for some kind of harmony between two intangibles: a form which we have not yet designed and a context which we cannot properly describe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Believe in yourself!
