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[I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more Ihave of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22670]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more Ihave of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated.

Whatever intelligent creature lives not under this rule of love is so far fallen from the order of his creation, and is, till he returns to this eternal law of love, an apostate from God and incapable of the kingdom of Heaven. Now, if God is alone to be loved for Himself, then no creature is to be loved for itself; and so all self-love in every creature is absolutely condemned. And if all created beings are only to be loved in and for God, then my neighbour is to be loved as I love myself, and I am only to love myself as I love my neighbour or any other created being that is, only in and for God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["In innocence there is no strength against evil," said Sparrowhawk, a little wryly.
