As, therefore, He is continually making intercession for us all, so ought we to intercede and pray for one another. "A new commandment," saith He, "I give unto you, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye love one another." The newness of this precept did not consist in this, that men were commanded to love one another for this was an old precept, both of the law of Moses and of nature. But it was new in this respect, that it was to initiate a new and, till then, unheard-of example of love; it was to love one another as Christ had loved us. And if men are to know that we are disciples of Christ, by thus loving one another according to His new example of love, then it is certain that if we are void of this love we make it as plainly known unto men that we are none of His disciples.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2601]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be. -Thomas a Kempis.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As always, victory finds a hundred fathers but defeat is an orphan. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60607]]></link><description><![CDATA[As always, victory finds a hundred fathers but defeat is an orphan.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is a fool who thinks by force or skill, To turn the current of a woman's will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51773]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is a fool who thinks by force or skill, To turn the current of a woman's will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that steals an egge, will steal an oxe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49399]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that steals an egge, will steal an oxe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano,— A stage, where every man must play a part; And mine ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55542]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano,— A stage, where every man must play a part; And mine a sad one. -The Merchant of Venice.
