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['Tis not the fight that crowns us, but the end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50142]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis not the fight that crowns us, but the end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Historians are prophets with their face turned backward. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19302]]></link><description><![CDATA[Historians are prophets with their face turned backward.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more honesty a man has the less he affects the air of a saint. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50546]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more honesty a man has the less he affects the air of a saint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When things are at the worst they sometimes mend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48782]]></link><description><![CDATA[When things are at the worst they sometimes mend.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Still, this group won the most games in a season in 23 years.

Men of the breaking hearts had a quality about them not known to or understood by common men. They habitually spoke with spiritual authority. They had been in the Presence of God and they reported what they saw there. They were prophets, not scribes: for the scribe tells us what he has read, and the prophet tells us what he has seen. The distinction is not an imaginary one. Between the scribe who has read and the prophet who has seen, there is a difference as wide as the sea. We are today overrun with orthodox scribes; but the prophets, where are they? The hard voice of the scribe sounds over evangelicalism, but the Church waits for the tender voice of the saint who has penetrated the veil and has gazed with inward eye upon the Wonder that is God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the most difficult things to contend with in a hospital is the assumption on the part of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19882]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the most difficult things to contend with in a hospital is the assumption on the part of the staff that because you have lost your gall bladder you have also lost your mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19882</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While the steeples are loud in their joy, To the tune of the bells' ring-a-ding,  Let us chime in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4110]]></link><description><![CDATA[While the steeples are loud in their joy, To the tune of the bells' ring-a-ding,  Let us chime in a peal, one and all,   For we all should be able to sing Hullah baloo.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14323]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cowboys have a way of trussing up a steer or a pugnacious bronco which fixes the brute so that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17382]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cowboys have a way of trussing up a steer or a pugnacious bronco which fixes the brute so that it can neither move nor think.
