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[Cheryl Treadwell is our angel, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38246]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cheryl Treadwell is our angel,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women know not the whole of their coquetry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10171]]></link><description><![CDATA[Women know not the whole of their coquetry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion is not a department of life; it is something that enters into the whole of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66455]]></link><description><![CDATA[Religion is not a department of life; it is something that enters into the whole of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not only is there no God, but try finding a plumber on Sunday. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17670]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not only is there no God, but try finding a plumber on Sunday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/586]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61464]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leave Him [God] out of our explanations, and the life of thought is decapitated...

This method, though it seem such a small circumstance of life, would in all probability be a means [toward] great piety. It would keep it constantly in your head that softness and idleness were to be avoided and that self-denial was a part of Christianity... It would teach you to exercise power over yourself, and make you able by degrees to renounce other pleasures and tempers that war against the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For courage mounteth with occasion. -King John.

This sets a fashion which others imitate. Once the richer classes have adopted a certain way of living, producers have an incentive to improve the methods of manufacture so that soon it is possible for the poorer classes to follow suit. Thus luxury furthers progress. Innovation "is the whim of an elite before it becomes a need of the public. The luxury today is the necessity of tomorrow." Luxury is the roadmaker of progress: it develops latent needs and makes people discontented. In so far as they think consistently, moralists who condemn luxury must recommend the comparatively desireless existence of the wild life roaming in the woods as the ultimate ideal of civilized life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know - and yet not wise enough to control our learning ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66762]]></link><description><![CDATA[Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know - and yet not wise enough to control our learning and knowledge, so that we use it to destroy ourselves?
