Love is such that, without experiencing the joy of union with the object of our love, there is a real sense in which "the soul dies." A man who loves God according to the Conob idiom would say "my soul dies for God." This not only describes the powerful emotion felt by the one who loves, but it should imply a related truth -- namely, that in true love there is no room for self. The man who loves God must die to self. True love is, of all emotions, the most unselfish, for it does not look out for self but for others. False love seeks to possess; true love seeks to be possessed. False love leads to cancerous jealousy; true love leads to a life-giving ministry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vengeance to God alone belongs; But, when I think of all my wrongs  My blood is liquid flame! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54095]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vengeance to God alone belongs; But, when I think of all my wrongs  My blood is liquid flame!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reason, however able, cool at best, Cares not for service, or but serves when prest,  Stays till we call, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53106]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reason, however able, cool at best, Cares not for service, or but serves when prest,  Stays till we call, and then not often near.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The evangelical... wants such peace as men can attain to have some kind of relationship to justice.

He observes many different kinds of peace prevailing in the world he inhabits. Not all of them are good. For example, there is the peace that death brings, the peace of the tomb. Today it could be called the peace of Auschwitz. Hitler tried to "make peace" with the Jews by seeking their "final solution"; but the evangelical would fight rather than submit to such a peace. There is also the peace of slavery and subjection, the Pax Romana. Dictators are very fond of the Roman peace. Today it could be called the peace of Tibet. The nation of Tibet has been completely stripped of its personality in our generation by Communist China without a single protest being made in front of a single embassy. Again, there is peace that is artificially induced in men. Among individuals it is the peace of the tranquilizer, the peace of withdrawal and schizophrenia, the peace of the brain-washed prisoner. Should large-scale chemical warfare break our, we are told, whole cities could be sprayed and pacified by such drugs. The evangelical is not interested in paying such high prices for the sake of peace. He would rather stay free, and alive, and in his right mind, prepared to fight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is properly no history; only biography ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4215]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is properly no history; only biography]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If people take anything from my music, it should be motivation to know that anything is possible as long as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66722]]></link><description><![CDATA[If people take anything from my music, it should be motivation to know that anything is possible as long as you keep working at it and don\'t back down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are four types of people: Smart and lazy, Smart and full of energy, Stupid and lazy, Stupid and full ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5654]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are four types of people: Smart and lazy, Smart and full of energy, Stupid and lazy, Stupid and full of energy]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[man is only a reed, the weakest thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19983]]></link><description><![CDATA[man is only a reed, the weakest thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life, to me, is like a quiet forest pool, one that needs a direct hit from a big rock half-buried ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11778]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life, to me, is like a quiet forest pool, one that needs a direct hit from a big rock half-buried in the ground. You pull and you pull, but you can't get the rock out of the ground. So you give it a good kick, but you lose your balance and go skidding down the hill toward the pool. Then out comes a big Hawaiian man who was screwing his wife beside the pool because they thought it was real pretty.
