Love comes into it too, of course, but in Europe we tend to see marital love as an eternity which encompasses hate and also indifference: when we promise to love we really mean that we promise to honor a contract. Americans, seeming to take marriage with not enough seriousness, are really taking love and sex with too much.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He hath indeed better bettered expectation. -Much Ado about Nothing.

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep   The silent stars go by: Yet in thy dark streets shineth   The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years   Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary;   And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep   Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars together   Proclaim the holy birth; And praises sing to God the King,   And peace to men on earth. How silently, how silently,   The wondrous gift is giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts   The blessings of His Heav'n. No ear may hear His coming,   But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still,   The dear Christ enters in. O holy Child of Bethlehem,   Descend to us, we pray, Cast out our sins, and enter in,   Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels   The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us,   Our Lord Emmanuel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of George Herbert, Priest, Poet, 1633  If I be bound to pray for all that be in distress, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7143]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of George Herbert, Priest, Poet, 1633  If I be bound to pray for all that be in distress, surely I am bound, so far as it is in my power, to practice what I pray for.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7143</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our power is in our ability to decide. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22058]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our power is in our ability to decide.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hold one another's noses to the grindstone hard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48707]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hold one another's noses to the grindstone hard.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We fear things in proportion to our ignorance of them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52194]]></link><description><![CDATA[We fear things in proportion to our ignorance of them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abilene is a good team, and they beat us.

It does not love him because he is such-and-such a person but because he is there. In all this it is quite the opposite of natural love: it "does not seek its own". It does not perform the characteristic natural impulse of love and life. Therefore it is basically independent of the conduct of the other person; it is not conditional but absolute. It wants nothing for itself but only for others. Therefore it is also not vulnerable. It never "reacts" but is always "spontaneous", emerging by its own strength -- rather, from the power of God. Love is the real God-likeness of man for which he has been created. In so far as love is in man he really resembles God and shows himself to be the child of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The truth seems to be that propaganda on its own cannot force its way into unwilling minds; neither can it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56876]]></link><description><![CDATA[The truth seems to be that propaganda on its own cannot force its way into unwilling minds; neither can it inculcate something wholly new; nor can it keep people persuaded once they have ceased to believe.
