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[Water a farre off quencheth not fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50039]]></link><description><![CDATA[Water a farre off quencheth not fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It [Chinese Labour in South Africa] could not, in the opinion of His Majesty's Government, be classified as slavery in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56581]]></link><description><![CDATA[It [Chinese Labour in South Africa] could not, in the opinion of His Majesty's Government, be classified as slavery in the extreme acceptance of the word without some risk of terminological inexactitude.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope, he called, belief In God,--work, worship . . . therefore let us pray! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48046]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope, he called, belief In God,--work, worship . . . therefore let us pray!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We hope it shows ? yes these things are effective.

Academically oriented Christians especially tend to think that the barriers to faith should be removed by repackaging the content of the message in a way more congenial to the modern outlook. But it is quite possible that we are dealing not so much with a failure of intellect as with an alienation from the experiential roots of Christianity itself so amply attested in the New Testament.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Risk - If one as to jump a stream and knows how wide it is, he will not jump.

The Holy Spirit supports our helplessness. Left to ourselves we do not know what prayers to offer or how to offer them. But in those inarticulate groans which rise from the depth of our being, we recognize the voice of none other than the Holy Spirit. He makes intercession; and His intercession is sure to be answered. For God Who searches the inmost recesses of the heart can interpret His own Spirit's meaning. He knows that His own Will regulates Its petitions, and that they are offered for men dedicated to His service.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I come, I come! ye have called me long, I come o'er the mountain with light and song:  Ye ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57794]]></link><description><![CDATA[I come, I come! ye have called me long, I come o'er the mountain with light and song:  Ye may trace my step o'er the wakening earth,   By the winds which tell of the violet's birth,    By the primrose-stars in the shadowy grass,     By the green leaves, opening as I pass.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wit ought to be a glorious treat, like caviar.
