Love is sufficient of itself; it pleases by itself and on its own account. Love seeks no cause beyond itself and no fruit. It is its own fruit, its own enjoyment. I love because I love; I love that I may love. Love is a great thing provided it recurs to its beginning, returns to its origin, and draws always from that Fountain which is perpetually in flood. Of all the feelings and affections of the soul, love is the only one by which the creature, though not on equal terms, is able to respond to the Creator and to repay what it has received from Him. For when God loves us He desires nothing but to be loved. He loves for no other reason, indeed, than that He may be loved, knowing that by their love itself those who love Him are blessed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For me it always comes down to what is a good song and I'm very old fashioned in the way ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41409]]></link><description><![CDATA[For me it always comes down to what is a good song and I'm very old fashioned in the way that I like to make songs that have something classic about them whether you can play them with an orchestra or an electro synthesizer or an acoustic guitar.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Byrd Amendment virtually defines corporate welfare, ...

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Idle folks have the most labour. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50991]]></link><description><![CDATA[Idle folks have the most labour.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life consists not simply in what heredity and environment do to us but in what we make out of what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19200]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life consists not simply in what heredity and environment do to us but in what we make out of what they do to us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let others tell of storms and showers, I'll only mark your sunny hours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58321]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let others tell of storms and showers, I'll only mark your sunny hours.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The lunatics have taken charge of the asylum.   - Richard Rowland, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10050]]></link><description><![CDATA[The lunatics have taken charge of the asylum.   - Richard Rowland,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hero is born among a hundred, a wise man is found among a thousand, but an accomplished one might ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66896]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hero is born among a hundred, a wise man is found among a thousand, but an accomplished one might not be found even among a hundred thousand men]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!) Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace,  And say, within ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12878]]></link><description><![CDATA[Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!) Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace,  And say, within the moonlight in his room,   Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom,    An angel, writing in a book of gold;     Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold,      And to the presence in the room he said--       "What writest thou?"
