Whatever intelligent creature lives not under this rule of love is so far fallen from the order of his creation, and is, till he returns to this eternal law of love, an apostate from God and incapable of the kingdom of Heaven. Now, if God is alone to be loved for Himself, then no creature is to be loved for itself; and so all self-love in every creature is absolutely condemned. And if all created beings are only to be loved in and for God, then my neighbour is to be loved as I love myself, and I am only to love myself as I love my neighbour or any other created being that is, only in and for God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No friend's a friend till [he shall] prove a friend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16750]]></link><description><![CDATA[No friend's a friend till [he shall] prove a friend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26621]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The biggest things are always the easiest to do because there is no competition. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9235]]></link><description><![CDATA[The biggest things are always the easiest to do because there is no competition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The happiest miser on earth is the man who saves up every friend he can make. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42733]]></link><description><![CDATA[The happiest miser on earth is the man who saves up every friend he can make.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I remain just one thing, and one thing only -- and that is a clown.
