But this, though a sort of love we need, is not the sort we want. We want to be loved for our cleverness, beauty, generosity, fairness, usefulness. The first hint that anyone is offering us the highest love of all is a terrible shock. This is so well recognized that spiteful people will pretend to be loving us with Charity precisely because they know that it will wound us. To say to one who expects a renewal of Affection, Friendship, or Eros, "I forgive you as a Christian" is merely a way of continuing the quarrel. Those who say it are of course lying. But the thing would not be falsely said in order to wound unless, if it were true, it would be wounding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What do you first do when you learn to swim?

You make mistakes, do you not? And what happens? You make other mistakes, and when you have made all the mistakes you possibly can without drowning -- and some of them many times over -- what do you find? That you can swim? Well -- life is just the same as learning to swim! Do not be afraid of making mistakes, for there is no other way of learning how to live!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Work your way up or rust your way out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22206]]></link><description><![CDATA[Work your way up or rust your way out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the sun sets, shadows, that showed at noon But small, appear most long and terrible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58295]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the sun sets, shadows, that showed at noon But small, appear most long and terrible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1775]]></link><description><![CDATA[Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the heating and air conditioning trade, the point on the thermostatin which neither heating nor cooling must operate-around 72 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22161]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the heating and air conditioning trade, the point on the thermostatin which neither heating nor cooling must operate-around 72 degrees-iscalled the "Comfort Zone."
