Love is sufficient of itself; it pleases by itself and on its own account. Love seeks no cause beyond itself and no fruit. It is its own fruit, its own enjoyment. I love because I love; I love that I may love. Love is a great thing provided it recurs to its beginning, returns to its origin, and draws always from that Fountain which is perpetually in flood. Of all the feelings and affections of the soul, love is the only one by which the creature, though not on equal terms, is able to respond to the Creator and to repay what it has received from Him. For when God loves us He desires nothing but to be loved. He loves for no other reason, indeed, than that He may be loved, knowing that by their love itself those who love Him are blessed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We trifle when we assign limits to our desires, since nature hath set none. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11989]]></link><description><![CDATA[We trifle when we assign limits to our desires, since nature hath set none.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can scarcely manage to scribble a tolerable English letter.

He has called some to be "player-coaches" ... to equip the laity for the ministry they are to fulfill. This equipping ministry is of unique importance. One is appointed to this ministry by the Holy Spirit; therefore it must be undertaken with utmost seriousness. This is a radical departure from the traditional understanding of the roles of the laity and the clergy. The laity had the idea that they were already committed to a "full-time" vocation in the secular world, [and] thus they did not have time -- at least, much time -- to do God's work. Therefore they contributed money to "free" the clergy to have the time needed to fulfill God's ministry. This view is rank heresy. If we follow this pattern, we may continue to do God's work until the Lord comes again and never fulfill God's purpose as it ought to be done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Law sutes consume time, and mony, and rest, and friends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49590]]></link><description><![CDATA[Law sutes consume time, and mony, and rest, and friends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who seeks vengeance must dig two graves: one for his enemy and one for himself ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13814]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who seeks vengeance must dig two graves: one for his enemy and one for himself]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All things are inconstant except the faith in the soul, which changes all things and fills their inconstancy with light, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53558]]></link><description><![CDATA[All things are inconstant except the faith in the soul, which changes all things and fills their inconstancy with light, but though I seem to be driven out of my country as a misbeliever I have found no man yet with a faith like mine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can't return a favor, pass it on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22007]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can't return a favor, pass it on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22007</guid></item></channel></rss>
