Love is sufficient of itself; it pleases by itself and on its own account. Love seeks no cause beyond itself and no fruit. It is its own fruit, its own enjoyment. I love because I love; I love that I may love. Love is a great thing provided it recurs to its beginning, returns to its origin, and draws always from that Fountain which is perpetually in flood. Of all the feelings and affections of the soul, love is the only one by which the creature, though not on equal terms, is able to respond to the Creator and to repay what it has received from Him. For when God loves us He desires nothing but to be loved. He loves for no other reason, indeed, than that He may be loved, knowing that by their love itself those who love Him are blessed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who aspires must down as low As high he soar'd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50661]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who aspires must down as low As high he soar'd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heart's ease! one could look for half a day Upon this flower, and shape in fancy out  Full twenty ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45442]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heart's ease! one could look for half a day Upon this flower, and shape in fancy out  Full twenty different tales of love and sorrow,   That gave this gentle name.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gravity is only the bark of wisdom; but it preserves it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18236]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gravity is only the bark of wisdom; but it preserves it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18236</guid></item></channel></rss>
