The emphasis is on unselfish. Excepting a small minority of mercenary or sadistic disposition, wars are not fought for personal gain, but out of loyalty and devotion to king, country or cause. Homicide committed for personal reasons is a statistical rarity in all cultures, including our own. Homicide for unselfish reasons, at the risk of one's own life, is the dominant phenomenon of history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Economists are pessimists: they've predicted 8 of the last 3 depressions ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13323]]></link><description><![CDATA[Economists are pessimists: they've predicted 8 of the last 3 depressions]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who dares, wins. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28114]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who dares, wins.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28114</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some of the smallest situations are the biggest to some people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60863]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some of the smallest situations are the biggest to some people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our special teams tonight were the difference.

He was willing to suffer and to be despised; do you dare to complain of anything? He had enemies and defamers; do you want everyone to be your friend, your benefactor? How can your patience be rewarded if no adversity tests it? How can you be a friend of Christ if you are not willing to suffer any hardship? Suffer with Christ and for Christ if you wish to reign with Him.  Had you but once entered into perfect communion with Jesus or tasted a little of His ardent love, you would care nothing at all for your own comfort or discomfort but would rejoice in the reproach you suffer; for love of Him makes a man despise himself.  ... Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ May 11, 2000 Concluding a series on the person of Jesus:  Jesus' good news, then, was that the Kingdom of God had come, and that he, Jesus, was its herald and expounder to men.
