is as much afflicted at an idle word as some at an act of adultery, and will not allow to itself so much anger as will disturb a child, nor endure the impurity of a dream. And this is the curiosity and niceness of divine love: this is the fear of God, and is the daughter and production of love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2117]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've raced on all seven continents at least twice.
