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[Ambassadors are the eye and ear of states. [It., Gli ambasciadori sono l'occhio e l'orecchio degli stati.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57844]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ambassadors are the eye and ear of states. [It., Gli ambasciadori sono l'occhio e l'orecchio degli stati.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every schoolboy hath that famous testament of Grunnius Corocotta Porcellus at his fingers' ends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13394]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every schoolboy hath that famous testament of Grunnius Corocotta Porcellus at his fingers' ends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A living cell requires energy not only for all its functions, but also for the maintenance of its structure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63720]]></link><description><![CDATA[A living cell requires energy not only for all its functions, but also for the maintenance of its structure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a rare exception of mainstream sports that have a fatality rate.
