It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. {5} It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. {6} Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. {7} It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. {8} Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. {9} For we know in part and we prophesy in part, {10} but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. {11} When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. {12} Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. {13} And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecilia, Martyr at Rome, c.230 Commemoration of Clive Staples Lewis, Spiritual Writer, 1963 Thanksgiving (U.S.)   One ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8554]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecilia, Martyr at Rome, c.230 Commemoration of Clive Staples Lewis, Spiritual Writer, 1963 Thanksgiving (U.S.)   One man may be so placed that his anger sheds the blood of thousands, and another so placed that, however angry he gets, he will only be laughed at. But the little mark on the soul may be much the same in both. Each has done something to himself which, unless he repents, will make it harder for him to keep out of the rage the next time he is tempted, and will make the rage worse when he does fall into it. Each of them, if he seriously turns to God, can have that twist in the central man straightened out again: each is, in the long run, doomed if he will not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Janani Luwum, Archbishop of Uganda, Martyr, 1977   Where would you be if God took away all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8274]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Janani Luwum, Archbishop of Uganda, Martyr, 1977   Where would you be if God took away all your Christian work?
