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[Every few years I'll party way too much to remind myself what an idiot I am. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37645]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every few years I'll party way too much to remind myself what an idiot I am.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No call has ever poisoned by pen. [Fr., Aucun fiel n'a jamais empoisonne ma plumme.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3530]]></link><description><![CDATA[No call has ever poisoned by pen. [Fr., Aucun fiel n'a jamais empoisonne ma plumme.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leisure for reverie, gay or somber, does much to enrich life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24606]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leisure for reverie, gay or somber, does much to enrich life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take physic, pomp; Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel,  That thou mayst shake the superflux to them  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26717]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take physic, pomp; Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel,  That thou mayst shake the superflux to them   And show the heavens more just.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Surely there must be some way to find a husband or, for that matter, merely an escort, without sacrificing one's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53329]]></link><description><![CDATA[Surely there must be some way to find a husband or, for that matter, merely an escort, without sacrificing one's privacy, self-respect, and interior decorating scheme.

Races and peoples, lo, we stand divided,  And, sharing not our griefs, no joy can share;  By wars and tumults love is mocked, derided  His conquering cross no kingdom wills to bear. Envious of heart, blind-eyed, with tongues confounded, Nation by nation still goes unforgiven, In wrath and fear, by jealousies surrounded,  Building proud towers which shall not reach to heaven. Lust of possession worketh desolations;  There is no meekness in the sons of earth;  Led by no star, the rulers of the nations  Still fail to bring us to the blissful birth: How shall we love Thee, holy hidden Being,  If we love not the world which Thou hast made?  O give us brother-love for better seeing  Thy Word made flesh, and in a manger laid.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wouldn't read too much into it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28975]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wouldn't read too much into it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Revenge... is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63709]]></link><description><![CDATA[Revenge... is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The true grandeur of humanity is in moral elevation, sustained, enlightened and decorated by the intellect of man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19999]]></link><description><![CDATA[The true grandeur of humanity is in moral elevation, sustained, enlightened and decorated by the intellect of man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19999</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Among those people lucky enough, if you will, to have actually been brought to trial as a political prisoner, several ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29846]]></link><description><![CDATA[Among those people lucky enough, if you will, to have actually been brought to trial as a political prisoner, several historians have said there has not been one acquittal since the Bolshevik Revolution.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29846</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64297]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He quits his place well, that leaves his friend there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49322]]></link><description><![CDATA[He quits his place well, that leaves his friend there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our courts and in the jury system -- that is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23592]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our courts and in the jury system -- that is no ideal to me, it is a living, working reality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hand that hath made you fair hath made you good. -Measure for Measure.
