Now, if God is alone to be loved for Himself, then no creature is to be loved for itself; and so all self-love in every creature is absolutely condemned. And if all created beings are only to be loved in and for God, then my neighbour is to be loved as I love myself, and I am only to love myself as I love my neighbour or any other created being that is, only in and for God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many great actions are committed in small struggles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64680]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many great actions are committed in small struggles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An harmless flaming meteor shone for hair, And fell adown his shoulders with losse care. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18581]]></link><description><![CDATA[An harmless flaming meteor shone for hair, And fell adown his shoulders with losse care.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is our business.
