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[No flowery road leads to glory. [Fr., Aucun chemin de fleurs ne conduit a la gloire.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17549]]></link><description><![CDATA[No flowery road leads to glory. [Fr., Aucun chemin de fleurs ne conduit a la gloire.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10074]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This gives us a range of things we could do.

Hence a man's reaction to Monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be "debunked"; but watch the faces, mark well the accents, of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach -- men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire mere equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king, they honour millionaires, athletes, or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8507</guid></item></channel></rss>
