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[I thought we came out in the second half -- once we kind of settled in -- and played pretty ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31306]]></link><description><![CDATA[I thought we came out in the second half -- once we kind of settled in -- and played pretty well.

But the substance of that covenant is all pure mercy and grace. If men presume to claim for themselves, upon the basis of the covenant, some relationship with God other than that of the sinner needing God's grace, the covenant has been perverted. And when that has happened, God, in the sovereign freedom of His grace, destroy these pretensions, calls "No people" to be His people, breaks off natural branches and grafts in wild slips, filling them with the life that is His own life imparted to man. There is no law in His Kingdom save the law of pure grace. That is why they come from east and west to sit down with Abraham and Isaac, while the sons of the Kingdom are cast out; for the sons of the Kingdom have no place there unless they are willing to sit down with all whom the Lord of the feast shall call, and to receive His mercy in exactly the same way as the publicans and sinners.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19441]]></link><description><![CDATA[People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hatred is gained as much by good works as by evil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63400]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hatred is gained as much by good works as by evil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The kids really look up to Bob.
