Whatever intelligent creature lives not under this rule of love is so far fallen from the order of his creation, and is, till he returns to this eternal law of love, an apostate from God and incapable of the kingdom of Heaven. Now, if God is alone to be loved for Himself, then no creature is to be loved for itself; and so all self-love in every creature is absolutely condemned. And if all created beings are only to be loved in and for God, then my neighbour is to be loved as I love myself, and I am only to love myself as I love my neighbour or any other created being that is, only in and for God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who wish to sing always find a song. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19746]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who wish to sing always find a song.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One should use praise to recognize what one is not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22270]]></link><description><![CDATA[One should use praise to recognize what one is not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The essential characteristic of Western civilization that distinguishes it from the arrested and petrified civilizations of the East was and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47097]]></link><description><![CDATA[The essential characteristic of Western civilization that distinguishes it from the arrested and petrified civilizations of the East was and is its concern for freedom from the state.

This He does for the sake of what man is to inherit, to become. And for the means, He gives him over to a Person, Christ, and a community, the Church; and in attachment to these, personality grows, freedom is attained, sin is forgiven, estrangement is ended, capacities for relationship extend. Reconciliation is the Spirit's liberating work of love, exercised through a Person and a community of persons.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7793</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Brigid, Abbess of Kildare, c.525  There is a cowardice in this age which is not Christian.

We shrink from the consequences of truth. We look round and cling dependently. We ask what men will think; what others will say; whether they will not stare in astonishment. Perhaps they will; but he who is calculating that, will accomplish nothing in this life. The Father -- the Father which is with us and in us -- what does He think? God's work cannot be done without a spirit of independence. A man is got some way in the Christian life when he has learned to say, humbly yet majestically, "I dare to be alone.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Experience teaches only the teachable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/953]]></link><description><![CDATA[Experience teaches only the teachable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/953</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The restlessness that comes upon girls upon summer evenings results in lasting trouble unless it is speedily controlled.
