Love is such that, without experiencing the joy of union with the object of our love, there is a real sense in which "the soul dies." A man who loves God according to the Conob idiom would say "my soul dies for God." This not only describes the powerful emotion felt by the one who loves, but it should imply a related truth -- namely, that in true love there is no room for self. The man who loves God must die to self. True love is, of all emotions, the most unselfish, for it does not look out for self but for others. False love seeks to possess; true love seeks to be possessed. False love leads to cancerous jealousy; true love leads to a life-giving ministry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Protests demonstrate our marvelous democratic system. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39824]]></link><description><![CDATA[Protests demonstrate our marvelous democratic system.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Neurosis is the inability to tolerate ambiguity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44400]]></link><description><![CDATA[Neurosis is the inability to tolerate ambiguity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A scientist studies what is, an engineer studies what never was. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13895]]></link><description><![CDATA[A scientist studies what is, an engineer studies what never was.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sudden money is going from zero to two hundred dollars a week.

All pious persons should study to fortify themselves with these counsels, lest, while they consider themselves as valiant and strenuous defenders of righteousness, they depart from the Kingdom of Heaven, which is the only Kingdom of righteousness. For since it is the will of God that the communion of his church should be maintained in this external society, those who, from an aversion of wicked men, destroy the token of that society, enter on a course in which they are in great danger of falling from the communion of the saints.   .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the semifinal match showed just how much heart and dedication Jared has.

Christianity fails because people will keep on the surface too much, they will not go down to face these deep inner obediences; and that is ultimately to be beaten by themselves. We talk big and play so small. And the world has found it out --the great bulk have discarded Christianity as the way of Hope and put their hope in other things.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  September 26, 1998  Commemoration of Wilson Carlile, Priest, Founder of the Church Army, 1942  Even those of us who are inside it will agree that, in the main, the Church and all for which it stands occupy a palpably smaller place in the life of the average member than it did in former days. We explain it on the ground that life has become fuller, and that, of necessity, our attention nowadays has to percolate over a wide area instead of rushing foam-flecked down a narrower channel -- which is to say, in other words, that Christ is getting lost to us in the crush and throng of things, does not loom up as arresting, as unique, as all-important, as He did to our forefathers. Yet that, when you come to think of it, is no bad definition of unspirituality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The number of different things that you can do with these mice is huge.
