The "greater love than this" of which our Lord speaks, though He does not command it, is to give oneself for one's friends. And when one does this, or is ready to do this, prayer even for "us" seems too selfish -- and it is unnecessary, for we then possess all that God Himself can give us. The easy renunciation of self for the Beloved becomes the very breath of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a man opens a car door for his wife, it's either a new car or a new wife. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26458]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a man opens a car door for his wife, it's either a new car or a new wife.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no road of flowers leading to glory ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17533]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no road of flowers leading to glory]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maturity is: The ability to stick with a job until it's finished; The ability to do a job without being ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26570]]></link><description><![CDATA[Maturity is: The ability to stick with a job until it's finished; The ability to do a job without being supervised; The ability to carry money without spending it; and The ability to bear an injustice without wanting to get even]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the sublime to the ridiculous is but a step. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/212]]></link><description><![CDATA[From the sublime to the ridiculous is but a step.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a strength of a quiet endurance as significant of courage as the most daring feats of prowess. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13806]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a strength of a quiet endurance as significant of courage as the most daring feats of prowess.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To brisk notes in cadence beating Glance their many-twinkling feet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11034]]></link><description><![CDATA[To brisk notes in cadence beating Glance their many-twinkling feet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[E'en drunken Andrew felt the blow That innocence can give,  When its resistless accents flow   To bid ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20951]]></link><description><![CDATA[E'en drunken Andrew felt the blow That innocence can give,  When its resistless accents flow   To bid affection live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difficult we do immediately; the impossible takes a little longer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/320]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difficult we do immediately; the impossible takes a little longer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The faint old man shall lean his silver head To feel thee; thou shalt kiss the child asleep,  And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61634]]></link><description><![CDATA[The faint old man shall lean his silver head To feel thee; thou shalt kiss the child asleep,  And dry the moistened curls that overspread   His temples, while his breathing grows more deep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61634</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Besides that, when elsewhere the harvest of wheat is most abundant, there it comes up less by one-fourth than what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18395]]></link><description><![CDATA[Besides that, when elsewhere the harvest of wheat is most abundant, there it comes up less by one-fourth than what you have sowed.

Be daily, therefore, on your knees, in a solemn deliberate performance of this devotion, praying for others in such forms, with such length, importunity, and earnestness, as you use for yourself; and you will find all little, ill-natured passions die away, your heart grow great and generous, delighting in the common happiness of others, as you used only to delight in your own... It was this holy intercession that raised Christians to such a state of mutual love, as far exceeded all that had been praised and admired in human friendship. And when the same spirit of intercession is again in the world, when Christianity has the same power over the hearts of people that it then had, this holy friendship will be again in fashion, and Christians will be again the wonder of the world, for that exceeding love which they bear to one another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweat plus sacrifice equals success. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53300]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sweat plus sacrifice equals success.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The prudence of the best heads is often defeated by tenderness of the best hearts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58953]]></link><description><![CDATA[The prudence of the best heads is often defeated by tenderness of the best hearts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58953</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Juan will always love Washington and the entire Washington area because he has so many great memories there.
