Abraham Lincoln  There is no little enemy. •Benjamin Franklin  The friend of my enemy is my enemy. •Anonymous   With friends like this, who needs enemies? •Henny Youngman   It is impossible for one person to know another so well that he can dispense with belief. •Friedrich Durrenmatt   The quarrels of friends are the opportunities of foes. •Aesop   The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy. •Sam Levenson  It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend. •William Blake  He hasn't an enemy in the world - but all his friends hate him. •Eddie Cantor  You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you. •Eric Hoffer  I do not regret one professional enemy I have made. 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[You don't find people of integrity who operate in that zone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35955]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don't find people of integrity who operate in that zone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beware of meat twice boiled, and an old foe reconciled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11056]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beware of meat twice boiled, and an old foe reconciled.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is as often the outcome of despair as of hope; in the one case we have nothing to lose, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25547]]></link><description><![CDATA[Courage is as often the outcome of despair as of hope; in the one case we have nothing to lose, in the other, everything to gain]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ethelburga, Abbess of Barking, 675   What happens to someone who follows heretical teachings?

It became quickly and readily apparent how cruel heretical teachings are and how prevalent the heresies are in contemporary times. Victims of these teachings have been encouraged to either to escape the world and their basic humanity into some form of flight and death or to use religion to undergird and isolate further their own self-centered self from the need to be loved and to love...   The conviction that heresy is cruel has given me a growing awe of and respect for orthodoxy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But what is liberty without wisdom, and without virtue?

It is not enough to express formal belief in the "Incarnation" or in the "Divinity of. Christ"; the staggering truth must be accepted afresh -- that in this vast, mysterious universe, of which we are an almost infinitesimal part, the great Mystery, Whom we call God, has visited our planet in Person. It is from this conviction that there springs unconquerable certainty and unquenchable faith and hope. It is not enough to believe theoretically that Jesus was both God and Man; not enough to admire, respect, and even worship Him; it is not even enough to try to follow Him. The reason for the insufficiency of these things is that the modern intelligent mind, which has had its horizons widened in dozens of different ways, has got to be shocked afresh by the audacious central Fact -- that, as a sober matter of history, God became one of us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think there is something, more important than believing: Action!

Our holiness is an effect, not a cause; as long as our eyes are on our own personal whiteness as an end in itself, the thing breaks down. God can do nothing while my interest is in my personal character--He will take care of this if I obey His call. In learning to love God and people as He commanded us to do, obviously your sanctification cannot but come, but not as an end in itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first service a child doth his father is to make him foolish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49852]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first service a child doth his father is to make him foolish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democratic nations must try to find ways to starve the terrorist and the hijacker of the oxygen of publicity on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43730]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democratic nations must try to find ways to starve the terrorist and the hijacker of the oxygen of publicity on which they depend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should feel sorrow, but not sink under its oppression. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66419]]></link><description><![CDATA[We should feel sorrow, but not sink under its oppression.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perfect courage means doing unwitnessed what we would be capable of with the world looking on. -La Rochefoucauld. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10360]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perfect courage means doing unwitnessed what we would be capable of with the world looking on. -La Rochefoucauld.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think that would have been a fair criticism that would have had more weight if it came a month ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40610]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think that would have been a fair criticism that would have had more weight if it came a month ago.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is good to be often reminded of the inconsistency of human nature, and to learn to look without wonder ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19959]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is good to be often reminded of the inconsistency of human nature, and to learn to look without wonder or disgust on the weaknesses which are found in the strongest minds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't try to go too fast.
