But this distinction is only a very small part of the difference, and as such is in itself incorrect. Both of these words may convey intense emotion or may be relatively weak in their meanings. These words do not indicate degree of love, but kinds of love. Agapao refers to love which arises from a keen sense of the value and worth in the object of our love, and phileo describes the emotional attachment which results from intimate and prolonged association. That is why in the Scriptures we are never commanded to "love" with the word phileo. Even when husbands and wives are instructed to love one another, the word agapao is used, for it is impossible to command that kind of love which can arise only from intimate association. On the other hand, the saints are admonished to appreciate profoundly the worth and value in others, and agapao is used to convey this meaning. All Christians are not necessarily to have sentimental attachments for one another (phileo). This would be impossible, for our circle of intimate friends is limited by the nature of our lives. But we can all be commanded to appreciate intensely the worth of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rose is fairest when 'tis budding new, And hope is brightest when it dawns from fears;  The rose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51119]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rose is fairest when 'tis budding new, And hope is brightest when it dawns from fears;  The rose is sweetest wash'd with morning dew,   And love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51119</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art distills sensations and embodies it with enhanced meaning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3276]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art distills sensations and embodies it with enhanced meaning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47115]]></link><description><![CDATA[A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. - "Amendment II".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45816]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Character builds slowly, but it can be torn down within incredible swiftness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64294]]></link><description><![CDATA[Character builds slowly, but it can be torn down within incredible swiftness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trade knows neither friends or kindred ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59508]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trade knows neither friends or kindred]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wanted to be a cattle rancher when I was young, because it was what I knew and I loved ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64116]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wanted to be a cattle rancher when I was young, because it was what I knew and I loved it.rn]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14379]]></link><description><![CDATA[Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two things scare me.

But this was not the issue, quite. In this case the choice was between being a good Methodist and a good American, and being a tribal religionist. But the theological problem of churches without discipline comes into stark outline in the quotation. Inadequately trained for membership, admitted without preparatory training, without the proper instruments of voluntary discipline, many members have never had the discontinuity between life in Christ and life in the world brought home to them. Here the ordinary members are less at fault than the leadership of the churches, who -- though sworn to uphold the form of sound words and doctrine -- neglect catechetical instruction and concentrate solely on the acquisition of more new members at any price.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13350]]></link><description><![CDATA[Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He enters the port with a full sail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51799]]></link><description><![CDATA[He enters the port with a full sail.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You must not know too much or be too precise or scientific about birds and trees and flowers and watercraft; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43932]]></link><description><![CDATA[You must not know too much or be too precise or scientific about birds and trees and flowers and watercraft; a certain free-margin, and even vagueness - ignorance, credulity - helps your enjoyment of these things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I moved here I had a two bedroom, simple, 900 square feet, and rent was eight to nine hundred. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39901]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I moved here I had a two bedroom, simple, 900 square feet, and rent was eight to nine hundred.
