His presence must never be used to provide a Christian justification for evil. To stand as a co-belligerent and not an ally will be to rally the middle ground for a genuine Third Way without mediocre compromise. The Third Way will not be easy. It will be lonely. Sometimes the Christian must have the courage to stand with the establishment, speaking boldly to the radicals and pointing out the destructive and counter-productive nature of their violence. At other times, he will stand as a co-belligerent with the radicals in their outrage and just demands for redress. The Christian is a co-belligerent with either or both when either or both are right, but... fearless in his opposition to either or both when they are wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk more. -Erica Jong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14791]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk more. -Erica Jong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The skilful employer of men will employ the wise man, the brave man, the covetous man, and the stupid man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64112]]></link><description><![CDATA[The skilful employer of men will employ the wise man, the brave man, the covetous man, and the stupid man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Silence is one great art of conversation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25512]]></link><description><![CDATA[Silence is one great art of conversation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A watched clock never tells the time ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8884]]></link><description><![CDATA[A watched clock never tells the time]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I made the wrong turn, especially on the second one.

A Dove sitting on a tree overhanging the water pluckeda leaf and let it fall into the stream close to her. The Antclimbed onto it and floated in safety to the bank. Shortlyafterwards a birdcatcher came and stood under the tree, and laidhis lime-twigs for the Dove, which sat in the branches. The Ant,perceiving his design, stung him in the foot. In pain thebirdcatcher threw down the twigs, and the noise made the Dovetake wing.One good turn deserves another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many men of genius must arise before a particular man of genius can appear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17305]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many men of genius must arise before a particular man of genius can appear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're going to individualize every single program for every guy in the system.
