But this distinction is only a very small part of the difference, and as such is in itself incorrect. Both of these words may convey intense emotion or may be relatively weak in their meanings. These words do not indicate degree of love, but kinds of love. Agapao refers to love which arises from a keen sense of the value and worth in the object of our love, and phileo describes the emotional attachment which results from intimate and prolonged association. That is why in the Scriptures we are never commanded to "love" with the word phileo. Even when husbands and wives are instructed to love one another, the word agapao is used, for it is impossible to command that kind of love which can arise only from intimate association. On the other hand, the saints are admonished to appreciate profoundly the worth and value in others, and agapao is used to convey this meaning. All Christians are not necessarily to have sentimental attachments for one another (phileo). This would be impossible, for our circle of intimate friends is limited by the nature of our lives. But we can all be commanded to appreciate intensely the worth of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A disorderly patient makes the physician cruel. [Lat., Crudelem medicum intemperans aeger facit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26727]]></link><description><![CDATA[A disorderly patient makes the physician cruel. [Lat., Crudelem medicum intemperans aeger facit.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26727</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64028]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Indolence is the sleep of the mind. [Fr., L'indolence est le sommeil des esprits.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20350]]></link><description><![CDATA[Indolence is the sleep of the mind. [Fr., L'indolence est le sommeil des esprits.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alone!--That worn-out word, So idly spoken, and so coldly heard;  Yet all that poets sing, and grief hath known, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57162]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alone!--That worn-out word, So idly spoken, and so coldly heard;  Yet all that poets sing, and grief hath known,   Of hope laid waste, knells in that word--Alone!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/680]]></link><description><![CDATA[What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is how it happens.

What we can see is that both an incarnation and a virginal conception were thoroughly appropriate to the needs and circumstances of the case and were more "natural", in the sense of more appropriate, than the alternatives... In practice, denial of the virginal conception or inability to see its relevance almost always goes with an inadequate understanding of the Incarnation and of the Christian religion in general.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For I have learned to look on nature, not as in the hour of thoughtless youth, but hearing oftentimes the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43833]]></link><description><![CDATA[For I have learned to look on nature, not as in the hour of thoughtless youth, but hearing oftentimes the still, sad music of humanity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Hollywood all the marriages are happy, it's tryingto live together afterwards that causes all the problems. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21337]]></link><description><![CDATA[In Hollywood all the marriages are happy, it's tryingto live together afterwards that causes all the problems.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes guts to get out of the ruts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21575]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes guts to get out of the ruts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Glory paid to our ashes comes too late. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17568]]></link><description><![CDATA[Glory paid to our ashes comes too late.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Law of inflation: whatever goes up will go up some more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20836]]></link><description><![CDATA[Law of inflation: whatever goes up will go up some more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the challenges that we have as we move forward in the early part of the 21st century is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37026]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the challenges that we have as we move forward in the early part of the 21st century is to understand how we can help people make the right choices to understand that they have real control of a lot of the health risks in their lives,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37026</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fountain-heads and pathless groves, Places which pale passion loves! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45599]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fountain-heads and pathless groves, Places which pale passion loves!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888  I look on all the world as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7054]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888  I look on all the world as my parish; thus far I mean, that, in whatever part of it I am, I judge it meet, right, and my bounden duty, to declare unto all that are willing to hear, the glad tidings of salvation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man he seems of cheerful yesterdays, And confident to-morrows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51861]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man he seems of cheerful yesterdays, And confident to-morrows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[War is the symptom, not the disease. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12480]]></link><description><![CDATA[War is the symptom, not the disease.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As hard as modern man strives to be free he is a slave chained to the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47579]]></link><description><![CDATA[As hard as modern man strives to be free he is a slave chained to the past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two phenomena, in my view, are particularly disturbing: One is the prevalence of the use of torture to extract confessions ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41096]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two phenomena, in my view, are particularly disturbing: One is the prevalence of the use of torture to extract confessions and information and the second one is the intimidation of those who make complaints against public officials.
