It does not love him because he is such-and-such a person but because he is there. In all this it is quite the opposite of natural love: it "does not seek its own". It does not perform the characteristic natural impulse of love and life. Therefore it is basically independent of the conduct of the other person; it is not conditional but absolute. It wants nothing for itself but only for others. Therefore it is also not vulnerable. It never "reacts" but is always "spontaneous", emerging by its own strength -- rather, from the power of God. Love is the real God-likeness of man for which he has been created. In so far as love is in man he really resembles God and shows himself to be the child of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To myself alone do I owe my fame. [Fr., Je ne dois qu'a moi seul toute ma renommee.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15104]]></link><description><![CDATA[To myself alone do I owe my fame. [Fr., Je ne dois qu'a moi seul toute ma renommee.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more education a woman has, the wider the gap between men's and women's earnings for the same work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65111]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more education a woman has, the wider the gap between men's and women's earnings for the same work.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And as, when all the summer trees are seen So bright and green,  The Holly leaves a sober hue ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19584]]></link><description><![CDATA[And as, when all the summer trees are seen So bright and green,  The Holly leaves a sober hue display   Less bright than they,    But when the bare and wintry woods we see,     What then so cheerful as the Holly-tree?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a paradox that every dictator has climbed to power on the ladder of free speech.
