A certain set of buildings, a glimpsed, smudged window-view across a schoolyard, a musty aroma sniffed behind a garage when you were a child, all of which come crowding in upon your latter-day senses -- those are pungent things and vivid, even consoling.

Thus the law of Christ is a law of bearing. Bearing means forbearing and sustaining...   The Christian must suffer and endure the brother. It is only when he is a burden that another person is really a brother and not merely an object to be manipulated. It is, first of all, the freedom of the other person that is a burden to the Christian. The freedom of the other person includes all that we mean by a person's nature, individuality, endowment. It also includes his weaknesses and oddities, which are such a trial to our patience, everything that produces frictions, conflicts, and collisions among us.   Then, there is the abuse of that freedom that becomes a burden for the Christian. In sin, fellowship with God and with his brother are broken. To cherish no contempt for the sinner but rather to prize the privilege of bearing him means not to have to give him up as lost, to be able to accept him, to preserve fellowship with him through forgiveness...   The service of forgiveness is rendered by one to the others daily. It occurs, without words, in the intercessions for one another. He who is bearing others knows that he himself is being borne.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For me, elegance is not to pass unnoticed but to get to the very soul of what one is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/883]]></link><description><![CDATA[For me, elegance is not to pass unnoticed but to get to the very soul of what one is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything that we think God has in his mind necessarily proceeds from our own mind; it is what we imagine ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52146]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything that we think God has in his mind necessarily proceeds from our own mind; it is what we imagine to be in God's mind, and it is really difficult for human intelligence to guess at a divine intelligence.

But, there was once a garret up under the roof, a poor, bare place enough. There was a table in it, and there were some benches, and a water-pot; a towel, and a basin in behind the door, but not much else -- a bare, unhomelike room. But the Lord Christ entered into it. And, from that moment, it became the holiest of all, where souls innumerable ever since have met the Lord God, in High glory, face to face. And, if you give Him entrance to that very ordinary heart of yours, it too He will transform and sanctify and touch with a splendour of glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In my friend, I find a second self. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16995]]></link><description><![CDATA[In my friend, I find a second self.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You see these shuffling rows of shiny faces, waiting for their turn, so they're very dedicated to the program and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42541]]></link><description><![CDATA[You see these shuffling rows of shiny faces, waiting for their turn, so they're very dedicated to the program and desperate to know what it is they've got - so often, they have no idea.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I destroy my enemy when I make him my friend.

Any actor who doesn't dare to make an enemy should get out of the business. •Bette Davis  It is hard to fight an enemy who has outposts in your head. •Sally Kempton  We learn our virtues from our friends who love us; our faults from the enemy who hates us. We cannot easily discover our real character from a friend. He is a mirror, on which the warmth of our breath impedes the clearness of the reflection. •Ricther  Mankind's worst enemy is fear of work. •Anonymous  Enemies promises were made to be broken. •Aesop   The worst tyrants are those which establish themselves in our own breasts. •William Ellery Channing   You shall judge a man by his foes as well as by his friends. •Joseph Conrad   Love your enemies just in case your friends turn out to be a bunch of bastards. •R A Dickson   I have met the enemy, and it is the eyes of other people. •Benjamin Franklin   A wise man learns more from his enemies than a fool from his friends. •Baltasar Gracian   I have no trouble with my enemies. I can take care of my enemies all right. But my damn friends. They're the ones that keep me walking the floor nights! •Warren Gamaliel Harding   Man's chief enemy is his own unruly nature and the dark forces put up within him. •Ernest Jones   Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names. •John F. Kennedy   Only enemies speak the truth. Friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty. •Stephen King   Our enemies come nearer the truth in the opinions they form of us than we do in our opinion of ourselves. •Francois De La Rochefoucauld   There is no stronger bond of friendship than a mutual enemy. •Frankfort Moore   He who lives by fighting with an enemy has an interest in the preservation of the enemy's life. •Friedrich Nietzsche   Bear patiently with a rival. •Ovid   Talk well of your friends and of your enemies say nothing. •Proverb   Was it a friend or foe that spread these lies? Nay, who but infants question in such wise, 'twas one of my most intimate enemies. •Dante Gabriel Rossetti   Remember, to them it is us who are the enemy. •N. F. Simpson   Convince an enemy, convince him that he's wrong. To win a bloodless battle, the victory is long. A simple act of faith, reason over might. To blow up his children would only prove him right. •Gordon Sumner   One enemy can do more hurt than ten friends can do good. •Jonathan Swift   In my life, I have prayed but one prayer: oh Lord, make my enemies ridiculous. And God granted it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That man is worthless who knows how to receive a favor, but not how to return one. [Lat., Nam improbus ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15480]]></link><description><![CDATA[That man is worthless who knows how to receive a favor, but not how to return one. [Lat., Nam improbus est homo qui beneficium scit sumere et reddere nescit.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They sing, they will pay. [Fr., Ils chantent, ils payeront.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56461]]></link><description><![CDATA[They sing, they will pay. [Fr., Ils chantent, ils payeront.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One touch of nature makes the whole world kin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43781]]></link><description><![CDATA[One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things do not change, we do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5588]]></link><description><![CDATA[Things do not change, we do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Birth of John the Baptist Continuing a short series on authenticity:   There, right in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8507]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Birth of John the Baptist Continuing a short series on authenticity:   There, right in the middle of our lives, is that which satisfies the craving for inequality, and acts as a permanent reminder that medicine is not food. Hence a man's reaction to Monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be "debunked"; but watch the faces, mark well the accents, of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach -- men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire mere equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king, they honour millionaires, athletes, or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women have always been the strong ones of the world.

The prophets should have taught us a different lesson. They should have led us to feel that it was a solemn duty, not to conceal, but to bring forward all the evidence which proves, not that one country is better than another, or one portion of the church better than another, but that there is a principle of decay, a tendency to apostasy in all, and that no comfort can come from merely balancing symptoms of good here against symptoms of evil there, no comfort from considering whether we are a little less contentious, a little less idolatrous than our neighbors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The storm passed by my shop, and I had to escape from the shower of stones, tear gas and rubber ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28311]]></link><description><![CDATA[The storm passed by my shop, and I had to escape from the shower of stones, tear gas and rubber bullets to save my life,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals; love, an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves.' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16888]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals; love, an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves.']]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one's own beliefs.

The "greater love than this" of which our Lord speaks, though He does not command it, is to give oneself for one's friends. And when one does this, or is ready to do this, prayer even for "us" seems too selfish -- and it is unnecessary, for we then possess all that God Himself can give us. The easy renunciation of self for the Beloved becomes the very breath of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was raised to feel that doing nothing was a sin.
