His love of God and his love of neighbor are two distinct virtues that have no common quality but only a common source. Love of God is adoration of the only true good; it is gratitude to the bestower of all gifts; it is joy in holiness; it is "consent to Being." But the love of man is pitiful rather than adoring; it is giving and forgiving rather than grateful. It suffers for them in their viciousness and profaneness; it does not consent to accept them as they are, but calls them to repentance. The love of God is nonpossessive Eros; the love of man pure Agape; the love of God is passion; the love of man, compassion. There is duality here, but not of like-minded interest in two great values, God and man. It is rather the duality of the Son of Man and Son of God, who loves God as man should love Him, and loves man as only God can love, with powerful pity for those who are foundering.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh those little, those little blue shoes! Those shoes that no little feet use.  Oh, the price were high ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3622]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh those little, those little blue shoes! Those shoes that no little feet use.  Oh, the price were high   That those shoes would buy,    Those little blue unused shoes!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There 's small choice in rotten apples. -The Taming of the Shrew.

The results would probably expose a surprising conclusion.
