His love of God and his love of neighbor are two distinct virtues that have no common quality but only a common source. Love of God is adoration of the only true good; it is gratitude to the bestower of all gifts; it is joy in holiness; it is "consent to Being." But the love of man is pitiful rather than adoring; it is giving and forgiving rather than grateful. It suffers for them in their viciousness and profaneness; it does not consent to accept them as they are, but calls them to repentance. The love of God is nonpossessive Eros; the love of man pure Agape; the love of God is passion; the love of man, compassion. There is duality here, but not of like-minded interest in two great values, God and man. It is rather the duality of the Son of Man and Son of God, who loves God as man should love Him, and loves man as only God can love, with powerful pity for those who are foundering.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What you can see just walking around Portland is evidence of what's going on in construction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29640]]></link><description><![CDATA[What you can see just walking around Portland is evidence of what's going on in construction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16985]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2959]]></link><description><![CDATA[A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48675]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a thing has been said and well said, have no scruple; take it and copy it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52827]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a thing has been said and well said, have no scruple; take it and copy it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Honestly, what drew me to the project was the quality of the script.
