Love is not a thing of enthusiastic emotion. It is a rich, strong, manly, vigorous expression of the whole round Christian character -- the Christ-like nature in its fullest development. And the constituents of this great character are only to be built up by ceaseless practice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cupid is a casuist, a mystic, and a cabalist,-- Can your lurking thought surprise,  And interpret your device,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17749]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cupid is a casuist, a mystic, and a cabalist,-- Can your lurking thought surprise,  And interpret your device,   . . . .    All things wait for and divine him,--     How shall I dare to malign him?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is very clear that voice communications is moving on to the Internet.
