The apostle calls it the band of perfection; it is the old, and it is the new, and it is the great commandment, and it is all the commandments; for it is the fulfilling of the Law. It does the work of all the graces without any instrument but its own immediate virtue. For as the love of sin makes a man sin against all his own reason, and all the discourses of wisdom, and all the advices of his friends, and without temptation and without opportunity, so does the love of God: it makes a man chaste without the laborious arts of fasting and exterior disciplines, temperate in the midst of feasts, and is active enough to choose it without any intermedial appetites, and reaches at glory through the very heart of grace, without any other aims but those of love. It is a grace that loves God for Himself, and our neighbors for God. The consideration of God's goodness and bounty, the experience of those profitable and excellent emanations from Him, may be, and most commonly are, the first motive of our love; but when we are once entered, and have tasted the goodness of God, we love the spring for its own excellency, passing from passion to reason, from thanking to adoring, from sense to spirit, from considering ourselves to union with God: and this is the image and little representation of heaven; it is beatitude in picture, or rather the infancy and beginning of glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Industry, perseverance, and frugality make fortune yield. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16597]]></link><description><![CDATA[Industry, perseverance, and frugality make fortune yield.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Child labor and poverty are inevitably bound together and if you continue to use the labor of children as the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35932]]></link><description><![CDATA[Child labor and poverty are inevitably bound together and if you continue to use the labor of children as the treatment for the social disease of poverty, you will have both poverty and child labor to the end of time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances, with any portion of the foreign world--so far, I mean, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57856]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances, with any portion of the foreign world--so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His wit invites you by his looks to come, But when you knock, it never is at home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61814]]></link><description><![CDATA[His wit invites you by his looks to come, But when you knock, it never is at home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no worse lie than a truth misunderstood by those who hear it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26141]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no worse lie than a truth misunderstood by those who hear it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66541]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever guilt is perpetrated by some evil prompting, is grievous to the author of the crime.
