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[After the day there cometh the derke night; For though the day be never so longe,  At last the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11141]]></link><description><![CDATA[After the day there cometh the derke night; For though the day be never so longe,  At last the belles ringeth to evensonge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People with great gifts are easy to find, but symmetrical and balanced ones never. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3671]]></link><description><![CDATA[People with great gifts are easy to find, but symmetrical and balanced ones never.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Winning his party's nomination in 2000 will be considerably easier for Gore if he can lock up the African-American vote, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33472]]></link><description><![CDATA[[Winning his party's nomination in 2000 will be considerably easier for Gore if he can lock up the African-American vote, which accounts for as much as a quarter of the Democratic-primary total. So he is courting the party's most loyal voters at every opportunity. At a time when there is little federal money to spread around, Gore has championed the Administration's empowerment-zone program, which pours millions of dollars into depressed areas like inner Detroit. During the fall campaign, he visited black churches on Sundays with a rousing sermon that an aide described as] very un-Al Gore, ...
