But when we analyze it, it turns into a complex tangle of paradoxes. We become ourselves by dying to ourselves. We gain only what we give up, and if we give up everything we gain everything. We cannot find ourselves within ourselves, but only in others; yet at the same time, before we can go out to others we must first find ourselves. We must forget ourselves in order to become truly conscious of who we are. The best way to love ourselves is to love others; yet we cannot love others unless we love ourselves, since it is written, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." But if we love ourselves in the wrong way, we become incapable of loving anybody else. And indeed when we love ourselves wrongly, we hate ourselves; if we hate ourselves we cannot help hating others. Yet there is a sense in which we must hate others and leave them in order to find God... As for this finding of God, we cannot even look for Him unless we have already found Him, and we cannot find Him unless He has first found us. We cannot begin to seek Him without a special gift of His grace; yet if we wait for grace to move us before beginning to seek Him, we will probably never begin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must not contradict, but instruct him that contradicts us; for a madman is not cured by another running mad ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44325]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must not contradict, but instruct him that contradicts us; for a madman is not cured by another running mad also.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In an up cycle, it is very difficult to forecast the velocity of the earnings growth.

It is only by contact with God that a better quality of living can be achieved -- and Jesus Himself, as the records show, speent many hours in communion with God -- yet that new quality of life has to be both demonstrated and tested in the ordinary rough-and-tumble of plain living.

If life be long I will be glad,  That I may long obey; If short--yet why should I be sad  To soar to endless day? Christ leads me through no darker rooms  Than He went through before; He that unto God's kingdom comes,  Must enter by this door. Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet  Thy blessed face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet,  What will Thy glory be! Then shall I end my sad complaints,  And weary, sinful days; And join with the triumphant saints,  To sing Jehovah's praise. My knowledge of that life is small,  The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,  And I shall be with him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What shall we then say to these things?

The old man told him that he worshipped the fire only, and acknowledged no other God. At which answer Abraham grew so zealously angry, that he threw the old man out of his tent, and exposed him to all the evils of the night and an unguarded condition. When the old man was gone, God called to Abraham, and asked him where the stranger was. He replied, "I thrust him away, because he did not worship thee." God answered him, "I have suffered him these hundred years, though he dishonoured me; and wouldst thou not endure him one night?".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love begins with an image; lust with a sensation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64927]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love begins with an image; lust with a sensation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The explanation avails nothing, which in leading us from one difficulty involves us in another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50340]]></link><description><![CDATA[The explanation avails nothing, which in leading us from one difficulty involves us in another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is really tough.
