His love of God and his love of neighbor are two distinct virtues that have no common quality but only a common source. Love of God is adoration of the only true good; it is gratitude to the bestower of all gifts; it is joy in holiness; it is "consent to Being." But the love of man is pitiful rather than adoring; it is giving and forgiving rather than grateful. It suffers for them in their viciousness and profaneness; it does not consent to accept them as they are, but calls them to repentance. The love of God is nonpossessive Eros; the love of man pure Agape; the love of God is passion; the love of man, compassion. There is duality here, but not of like-minded interest in two great values, God and man. It is rather the duality of the Son of Man and Son of God, who loves God as man should love Him, and loves man as only God can love, with powerful pity for those who are foundering.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Silence is argument carried out by other means. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56289]]></link><description><![CDATA[Silence is argument carried out by other means.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wise kings generally have wise counselors; and he must be a wise man himself who is capable of distinguishing one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63374]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wise kings generally have wise counselors; and he must be a wise man himself who is capable of distinguishing one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's a big problem.

Here St. Paul calls flesh (as does Christ in John 3) everything born of flesh, i.e. the whole human being with body and soul, reason and senses, since everything in him tends toward the flesh. That is why you should know enough to call that person "fleshly" who, without grace, fabricates, teaches and chatters about high spiritual matters. You can learn the same thing from Galatians, chapter 5, where St. Paul calls heresy and hatred works of the flesh. And in Romans, chapter 8, he says that, through the flesh, the law is weakened. He says this, not of unchastity, but of all sins, most of all of unbelief, which is the most spiritual of vices.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52202]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All of these dancers are dancers who are on the verge of their careers, so to speak.
