His love of God and his love of neighbor are two distinct virtues that have no common quality but only a common source. Love of God is adoration of the only true good; it is gratitude to the bestower of all gifts; it is joy in holiness; it is "consent to Being." But the love of man is pitiful rather than adoring; it is giving and forgiving rather than grateful. It suffers for them in their viciousness and profaneness; it does not consent to accept them as they are, but calls them to repentance. The love of God is nonpossessive Eros; the love of man pure Agape; the love of God is passion; the love of man, compassion. There is duality here, but not of like-minded interest in two great values, God and man. It is rather the duality of the Son of Man and Son of God, who loves God as man should love Him, and loves man as only God can love, with powerful pity for those who are foundering.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At Microsoft there are lots of brilliant ideas but the image is that they all come from the top - ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9636]]></link><description><![CDATA[At Microsoft there are lots of brilliant ideas but the image is that they all come from the top - I'm afraid that's not quite right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We hold our greyhound in our hand, Our falcon on our glove;  But where shall we find leash, or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51113]]></link><description><![CDATA[We hold our greyhound in our hand, Our falcon on our glove;  But where shall we find leash, or band,   For dame that loves to rove?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All things make sense; you just have to fathom how they make sense. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1429]]></link><description><![CDATA[All things make sense; you just have to fathom how they make sense.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Security is the priceless product of freedom.

But there is a saner sense in which the Bible -- since it is, after all, literature -- cannot properly be read except as literature, and the different parts of it as the different sorts of literature they are. Most emphatically, the Psalms must be read as poems -- as lyrics, with all the licenses and all the formalities, the hyperboles, the emotional rather than logical connections, which are proper to lyric poetry...
