But this distinction is only a very small part of the difference, and as such is in itself incorrect. Both of these words may convey intense emotion or may be relatively weak in their meanings. These words do not indicate degree of love, but kinds of love. Agapao refers to love which arises from a keen sense of the value and worth in the object of our love, and phileo describes the emotional attachment which results from intimate and prolonged association. That is why in the Scriptures we are never commanded to "love" with the word phileo. Even when husbands and wives are instructed to love one another, the word agapao is used, for it is impossible to command that kind of love which can arise only from intimate association. On the other hand, the saints are admonished to appreciate profoundly the worth and value in others, and agapao is used to convey this meaning. All Christians are not necessarily to have sentimental attachments for one another (phileo). This would be impossible, for our circle of intimate friends is limited by the nature of our lives. But we can all be commanded to appreciate intensely the worth of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The part of our social order which can or ought to be made a conscious product of human reason is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47361]]></link><description><![CDATA[The part of our social order which can or ought to be made a conscious product of human reason is only a small part of all the forces of society.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we hire new coaches we have to ask what ideas they have for raising funds to support the program, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35042]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we hire new coaches we have to ask what ideas they have for raising funds to support the program,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Activate yourself to duty by remembering your position, who you are, and what you have obliged yourself to be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47356]]></link><description><![CDATA[Activate yourself to duty by remembering your position, who you are, and what you have obliged yourself to be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you have a variable rate mortgage, now is the time to refinance and lock in a fixed rate to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35357]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you have a variable rate mortgage, now is the time to refinance and lock in a fixed rate to protect yourself in the long run.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Failure is an event, never a person. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44151]]></link><description><![CDATA[Failure is an event, never a person.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody, sooner or later, sits down to a banquet of consequences. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9834]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everybody, sooner or later, sits down to a banquet of consequences.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A noise like of a hidden brook In the leafy month of June,  That to the sleeping woods all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4918]]></link><description><![CDATA[A noise like of a hidden brook In the leafy month of June,  That to the sleeping woods all night   Singeth a quiet tune.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My grandmother was a maid and baby sitter, ...
