The "greater love than this" of which our Lord speaks, though He does not command it, is to give oneself for one's friends. And when one does this, or is ready to do this, prayer even for "us" seems too selfish -- and it is unnecessary, for we then possess all that God Himself can give us. The easy renunciation of self for the Beloved becomes the very breath of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweet Spring, full of sweet dayes and roses, A box where sweets compacted lie,  My musick shows ye have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57795]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sweet Spring, full of sweet dayes and roses, A box where sweets compacted lie,  My musick shows ye have your closes,   And all must die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evaluate what you want - because what gets measured, gets produced. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14243]]></link><description><![CDATA[Evaluate what you want - because what gets measured, gets produced.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was beautiful here, and the people were so nice.

Being in the minority, he has no other choice. Failing this duty, he sinks into oblivion. Society, on the other hand, has no obligation toward the poet. A majority by definition, society thinks of itself as having other options than reading verses, no matter how well written. Its failure to do so results in its sinking to that level of locution at which society falls easy prey to a demagogue or a tyrant. This is society's own equivalent of oblivion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We then resorted to watching them through a telescope and marked the places where they landed to pick up sample ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33010]]></link><description><![CDATA[We then resorted to watching them through a telescope and marked the places where they landed to pick up sample droppings for viral tests,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33010</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From our experience, most of the folks that we work with are all staying here for the holidays.

For here we are dealing with processes and events which, by the nature of the case, cannot be precisely described in everyday language...  The matter is quite different with such a statement as that Christ was born of the Virgin Mary; for, whatever aspects of the Incarnation outstrip the descriptive power of ordinary language, this at least is plainly statable in it. It means that Jesus was conceived in his mother's womb without previous sexual intercourse on her part with any male human being, and this is a straightforward statement which is either true or false. To say that the birth... of Jesus Christ cannot simply be thought of as a biological event, and to add that this is [not] what the Virgin Birth means, is a plain misuse of language; and no amount of talk about the appealing character of the "Christmas myth" can validly gloss this over.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The opera ain't over till the fat lady sings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59319]]></link><description><![CDATA[The opera ain't over till the fat lady sings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's certainly not our intention to inconvenience folks.
