If they follow Jesus, men escape from the hard yoke of their own laws, and submit to the kindly yoke of Jesus Christ. But does this mean that we can ignore the seriousness of His command? Far from it! We can only achieve perfect liberty and enjoy fellowship with Jesus when His command, His call to absolute discipleship, is appreciated in its entirety. Only the man who follows the command of Jesus without reserve, and submits unresistingly to His yoke, finds his burden easy, and under its gentle pressure receives the power to persevere in the right way. The command of Jesus is hard -- unutterably hard -- for those who try to resist it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a new term, ...

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[There is a time for all things -- except marriage my dear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2107]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a time for all things -- except marriage my dear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2107</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That man is successful who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much, who has gained the respect of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58172]]></link><description><![CDATA[That man is successful who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much, who has gained the respect of the intelligent men and the love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45860]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you read a lot of books you are considered well read.
