It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. {5} It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. {6} Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. {7} It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. {8} Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. {9} For we know in part and we prophesy in part, {10} but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. {11} When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. {12} Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. {13} And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fact: Girls who are having a good sex thing stay in New York.

Since it happened only once, it is by Hume's standards infinitely improbable. But then, the whole history of the Earth has also happened only once: is it therefore incredible? Hence the difficulty, which weighs upon Christian and atheist alike, of estimating the probability of the Incarnation. It is like asking whether the existence of nature herself is intrinsically probable. That is why it is easier to argue, on historical grounds, that the Incarnation actually occurred than to show, on philosophical grounds, the probability of its occurrence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[About the time we think we can make ends meet, somebody moves the ends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66033]]></link><description><![CDATA[About the time we think we can make ends meet, somebody moves the ends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66033</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I didn't see any signs of anything being wrong.

We will have such-a-one, for he sings prettily; we will invite such-a-one to a ball, for he dances well; we will have such-a-one at supper, for he is always joking and laughing; we will ask another because he plays deep at all games, or because he can drink a great deal. These are all vilifying distinctions, mortifying preferences, and exclude all ideas of esteem and regard. Whoever is had (as it is called) in company for the sake of any one thing singly, is singly that thing, and will never be considered in any other light; consequently never respected, let his merits be what they will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing has been purchased more dearly than the little bit of reason and sense of freedom which now constitutes our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48222]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing has been purchased more dearly than the little bit of reason and sense of freedom which now constitutes our pride.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I belong to Bridegrooms Anonymous.
