Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints, -I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I used to make original snowmen, but it was time consuming, hard work.

To put it in a provocative manner: the Bible is theology. It is historical theology. It can reveal its meaning only to those who regard it as the Word of God, and are able to preserve a strict confidence in the universal significance of particular historical occasions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Look not upon the wine when it is read, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48661]]></link><description><![CDATA[Look not upon the wine when it is read, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oft in the tranquil hour of night, When stars illume the sky,  I gaze upon each orb of light, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/150]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oft in the tranquil hour of night, When stars illume the sky,  I gaze upon each orb of light,   And wish that thou wert by.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is made by two people, in different kinds of solitude.

He was interested only in those emotions and professions which could get themselves translated into character and action. Words have always been the bane of religion as well as its vehicle. Religious emotion has enormous motive force, but it is the easiest thing in the world for it to sizzle away in high professions and wordy prayers. In that case, it is a substitute and counterfeit, and a damage to the Reign of God among men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You've got to get up every morning with determination if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12118]]></link><description><![CDATA[You've got to get up every morning with determination if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trainer trains the docile horse to turn, with his sensitive neck, whichever way the rider indicates. [Lat., Fingit equum ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58750]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trainer trains the docile horse to turn, with his sensitive neck, whichever way the rider indicates. [Lat., Fingit equum tenera docilem cervice magister  Ire viam qua monstret eques.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even though I was their captive, the Indians allowed me quite a bit of freedom.
