But this, though a sort of love we need, is not the sort we want. We want to be loved for our cleverness, beauty, generosity, fairness, usefulness. The first hint that anyone is offering us the highest love of all is a terrible shock. This is so well recognized that spiteful people will pretend to be loving us with Charity precisely because they know that it will wound us. To say to one who expects a renewal of Affection, Friendship, or Eros, "I forgive you as a Christian" is merely a way of continuing the quarrel. Those who say it are of course lying. But the thing would not be falsely said in order to wound unless, if it were true, it would be wounding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the calm and silent water that drowns a man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61318]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the calm and silent water that drowns a man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Worthless people live only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12978]]></link><description><![CDATA[Worthless people live only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12978</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Frugality is the mother of all virtues. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50420]]></link><description><![CDATA[Frugality is the mother of all virtues.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56436]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want to rush for 1,000 or 1,500 yards, whichever comes first. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57559]]></link><description><![CDATA[I want to rush for 1,000 or 1,500 yards, whichever comes first.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will buy any creme, cosmetic, or elixir from a woman with a European accent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10201]]></link><description><![CDATA[I will buy any creme, cosmetic, or elixir from a woman with a European accent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I look at it when you do that as a form of eminent domain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34018]]></link><description><![CDATA[I look at it when you do that as a form of eminent domain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34018</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers and cities; but to know someone here and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60217]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers and cities; but to know someone here and there who thinks and feels with us, and though distant, is close to us in spirit - this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Israel is willing to take a risk in order to make progress in the peace process. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32598]]></link><description><![CDATA[Israel is willing to take a risk in order to make progress in the peace process.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[John Kerry was a thorn in our flesh.
