Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints, -I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we wanted to do more than anything was to get people in there and into our jeans. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34622]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we wanted to do more than anything was to get people in there and into our jeans.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man has three friends on whose company he relies.

It is the evil within us, the evil which we are. Shall we call it our pride or our laziness, or shall we call it the deceit of our life?
