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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is my loftiest ambition?

But unlike the inhabitants of Lilliput, who fought holy crusades over the question at which end to break the egg, the potato-washing monkeys do not go to war with the non-washers, because the poor creatures have no language which would enable them to declare washing a diving commandment and eating unwashed potatoes a deadly heresy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness; and I myself perceived also that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11180]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness; and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Very hot and still the air was, Very smooth the gliding river,  Motionless the sleeping shadows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58267]]></link><description><![CDATA[Very hot and still the air was, Very smooth the gliding river,  Motionless the sleeping shadows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All animals except man know that the ultimate point of life is to enjoy it. -Samuel Butler. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24994]]></link><description><![CDATA[All animals except man know that the ultimate point of life is to enjoy it. -Samuel Butler.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ethnic origin and religious beliefs are not so important criteria for the future premier. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29000]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ethnic origin and religious beliefs are not so important criteria for the future premier.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whither away, Bluebird, Whither away?  The blast is chill, yet in the upper sky   Thou still canst ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4367]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whither away, Bluebird, Whither away?  The blast is chill, yet in the upper sky   Thou still canst find the color of thy wing,    The hue of May.     Warbler, why speed, thy southern flight? ah, why,      Thou, too, whose song first told us of the Spring?       Whither away?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger manages everything badly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2575]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger manages everything badly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The simple truth is that balding African-American men look cool when they shave their heads, whereas balding white men look ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1687]]></link><description><![CDATA[The simple truth is that balding African-American men look cool when they shave their heads, whereas balding white men look like giant thumbs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ilk cowslip cup shall kep a tear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10536]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ilk cowslip cup shall kep a tear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From wine what sudden friendship springs? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61684]]></link><description><![CDATA[From wine what sudden friendship springs?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a major accomplishment for me and I'll take it in stride.
