It does not love him because he is such-and-such a person but because he is there. In all this it is quite the opposite of natural love: it "does not seek its own". It does not perform the characteristic natural impulse of love and life. Therefore it is basically independent of the conduct of the other person; it is not conditional but absolute. It wants nothing for itself but only for others. Therefore it is also not vulnerable. It never "reacts" but is always "spontaneous", emerging by its own strength -- rather, from the power of God. Love is the real God-likeness of man for which he has been created. In so far as love is in man he really resembles God and shows himself to be the child of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing happens until something moves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/504]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing happens until something moves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a long work sleep may be naturally expected. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50268]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a long work sleep may be naturally expected.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Praise day at night, and life at the end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49714]]></link><description><![CDATA[Praise day at night, and life at the end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A brownout occurs when you forget what happened until you start hearing about it and then your memory slowly comes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31725]]></link><description><![CDATA[A brownout occurs when you forget what happened until you start hearing about it and then your memory slowly comes back.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the reason why mothers are more devoted to their children than fathers: it is that they suffer more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43228]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the reason why mothers are more devoted to their children than fathers: it is that they suffer more in giving them birth and are more certain that they are their own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All women become like their mothers.
