It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. {5} It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. {6} Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. {7} It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. {8} Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. {9} For we know in part and we prophesy in part, {10} but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. {11} When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. {12} Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. {13} And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[December drops no weak, relenting tear, By our fond Summer sympathies ensnared,  Nor from the perfect circle of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11566]]></link><description><![CDATA[December drops no weak, relenting tear, By our fond Summer sympathies ensnared,  Nor from the perfect circle of the year   Can even Winter's crystal gems be spared.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who would live must fight, he who will not fight in this world where eternal struggle is the law ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15658]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who would live must fight, he who will not fight in this world where eternal struggle is the law of life, has not the right to exist.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The surest sign of age is loneliness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27247]]></link><description><![CDATA[The surest sign of age is loneliness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[However successful you are, there is no substitute for a close relationship.

It is twice blest: It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. 'T is mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes The throned monarch better than his crown; His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, The attribute to awe and majesty, Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; But mercy is above this sceptred sway, It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, It is an attribute to God himself; And earthly power doth then show likest God's, When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, Though justice be thy plea, consider this, That in the course of justice none of us Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; And that same prayer doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy. -The Merchant of Venice. Act iv. Sc. 1.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just coming from playing in a hostile atmosphere, we knew Louisville was going to be tough.

This introduces a third criterion of the Spirit, and on the wider stage of the moral life. It is loyalty to the moral ideal of Christ. "If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk" (Gal. 5:25). Where the Spirit dwells, it produces a new, a higher, a unique type of moral life. For Paul, the Christian life was not the normal and natural product of human activity, but a gracious divine gift, received by the descent of the Spirit into the human heart, for "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, temperance" (Gal. 5:22-23). And there is yet one higher manifestation of the Spirit, the participation in the divine sonship of Jesus Christ. "And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father" (Gal. 4:6). Where sonship is, there the Spirit is. On the other hand, "as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God" (Rom. 8:l4). Where the Spirit leads, there sonship is... The possession of the Spirit and participation in Christ's sonship are but two aspects of the same experience. Here, the phenomenon, if it may be so called, bears its own credentials. Sonship is a self-evident work of the Spirit. But the evidence is available only for its owners in order that the Spirit of adoption may attest itself to others, it must issue in the life according to the Spirit, by walking in the spirit and bearing the fruit of the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17279]]></link><description><![CDATA[Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Announced by all the trumpets of the sky, Arrives the snow, and, driving o'er the fields,  Seems nowhere to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56712]]></link><description><![CDATA[Announced by all the trumpets of the sky, Arrives the snow, and, driving o'er the fields,  Seems nowhere to alight: the whited air   Hides hills and woods, the river, and the heaven,    And veils the farmhouse at the garden's end.     The sled and traveller stopped, the courier's feet      Delayed, all friends shut out, the housemates sit       Around the radiant fireplace, enclosed        In a tumultuous privacy of storm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[England! my country, great and free! Heart of the world, I leap to thee! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13900]]></link><description><![CDATA[England! my country, great and free! Heart of the world, I leap to thee!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13900</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If God invented marathons to keep people from doing anything more stupid, the triathlon must have taken Him completely by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17664]]></link><description><![CDATA[If God invented marathons to keep people from doing anything more stupid, the triathlon must have taken Him completely by surprise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But then peace, peace!
