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[I know I am getting better at golf because I am hitting fewer spectators. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57453]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know I am getting better at golf because I am hitting fewer spectators.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why, 'a stalks up and down like a peacock--a stride and a stand; ruminates like an hostess that hath no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46003]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why, 'a stalks up and down like a peacock--a stride and a stand; ruminates like an hostess that hath no arithmetic but her brain to set down her reckoning; bites his lip with a politic regard, as who should say, 'There were wit in this head an 'twould out'; and so there is, but it lies as coldly in him as fire in a flint, which will not show without knocking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The industry is awash in federal drilling permits.

In the bedroom you grew up in. It's the only place on this entire planet that is yours. The only place on the planet that understands you. It understands the way your nerves flare everytime you think about talking to anyone, scared into shyness at the thought of opening your mouth but the way you are the best hypocrite around when you're in front of a microphone. It knows what turns that switch on and off and on again. It understands the way when you don't have a smile on your face everyone only spits: "what's wrong"s and "you look tired"s. So the way you keep it on your face just wide enough to avoid questions. It understands how neurotic you have become, the way you treat your flaws like old friends. The way you look in the mirror and think of yourself as "Mr. Misery"...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's better we downplay our chances.

The Colloquies of Erasmus    April 30, 1998  Commemoration of Pandita Mary Ramabai, Translator of the Scriptures, 1922  What keeps most men in "Christian" countries from being heretics in this sense is that they do not publicly avow their disbelief: it is in better taste to be casual about lost beliefs, and a note of wistfulness generally ensures forgiveness. Obstinacy is rare. Millions do not even know that they deny essential Christian doctrines: they have never bothered to find out what the essential doctrines are. In extenuation they may plead that the evasiveness and the multiplicity of churches create a difficulty; but to be deterred by this when one's eternal destiny is said to be at stake bespeaks a glaring lack of seriousness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We often despise what is most useful to us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57097]]></link><description><![CDATA[We often despise what is most useful to us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rumor doth double, like the voice and echo, The numbers of the feared. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54558]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rumor doth double, like the voice and echo, The numbers of the feared.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He brings so much energy to the game, people can feed off that.

It tends to imply that the objection is to the attendant dangers and not to the thing itself.
