Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me upon the Cross embrace; For me didst nails and spear endure, and manifold disgrace. Why, then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heaven, or of escaping hell--  Not with the hope of gaining aught, nor seeking a reward, But as Thyself hast loved me, O ever-loving Lord! E'en then I love Thee and will love, and in Thy praise will sing Solely because Thou art my God and my eternal King.   ... Anonymous Latin Hymn (Edward Caswall, translator)  January 29, 2001   No man desires anything so eagerly as God desires to bring men to the knowledge of Himself. God is always ready, but we are very unready. God is near us, but we are far from Him. God is within, and we are without. God is friendly -- we are estranged.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, to be in England, Now that April's there,  And whoever wakes in England   Sees some morning, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13906]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, to be in England, Now that April's there,  And whoever wakes in England   Sees some morning, unaware,    That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf,     Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf      While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough       In England--now.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You've got to love what's loveable and hate what's hateable.
