To say that love is a feeling or anything of the kind is really an un-Christian conception of love. That is the aesthetic definition and therefore fits the erotic and everything of that nature. But to the Christian, love is the works of love. Christ's love was not an inner feeling, a full heart and what-not: it was the work of love which was his life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man who suffers or stresses before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary.

Can I really be expected to take this seriously?In fact, of course, it is necessary for it to be nonsense; if it made sense, it could be evaluated. The essence of modern intellectual snobbery is the 'emperor's new cloths' approach. Teachers, critics, our self-appointed intellectual elite, make it quite clear to us that if we cannot see the superlative nature of this 'art'- why, it merely shows our ignorance, our lack of sophistication and insight. Of course, they go beyond the storybook emperor's tailors, who dressed their victim in nothing and called it fine garments. The modern tailors dress the emperor in garbage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace, above all things, is to be desired, but blood must sometimes be spilled to obtain it on equable and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4346]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace, above all things, is to be desired, but blood must sometimes be spilled to obtain it on equable and lasting terms.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a sense of call to take leadership roles.

For maximum comprehension, do not start listening until the first clause is concluded. Begin instead at the word "but" which begins the second, or active, clause. This is the way to tell a liberal from a conservative -- before they tell you. Thus: "I have always believed in a strong national defense, second to none, but ...

For one thing, it implies that we have no spiritual ambition, else we should not be satisfied with such poor lives; that we cannot have thought out the fact of Jesus Christ, and how immeasurably He has raised the standard. Will you hang your wretched daubs beside the works of Titian and Michelangelo and not be shamed by the enormous contrast -- stand back and say, with a satisfied smirk, "That is pretty good, you know!"?
