Love is such that, without experiencing the joy of union with the object of our love, there is a real sense in which "the soul dies." A man who loves God according to the Conob idiom would say "my soul dies for God." This not only describes the powerful emotion felt by the one who loves, but it should imply a related truth -- namely, that in true love there is no room for self. The man who loves God must die to self. True love is, of all emotions, the most unselfish, for it does not look out for self but for others. False love seeks to possess; true love seeks to be possessed. False love leads to cancerous jealousy; true love leads to a life-giving ministry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To preserve the life of citizens, is the greatest virtue in the father of his country. [Lat., Servare cives, major ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45813]]></link><description><![CDATA[To preserve the life of citizens, is the greatest virtue in the father of his country. [Lat., Servare cives, major est virtus patriae patri.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They just crashed down and I didn't know how to get help. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35415]]></link><description><![CDATA[They just crashed down and I didn't know how to get help.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gambling promises the poor what property performs for the rich -- something for nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17171]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gambling promises the poor what property performs for the rich -- something for nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can't excell with talent, triumph with effort. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1488]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can't excell with talent, triumph with effort.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leisure is the exultation of the possible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4460]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leisure is the exultation of the possible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If it is not true it is very well invented. [It., Se non e vero, e molto ben trovato.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59812]]></link><description><![CDATA[If it is not true it is very well invented. [It., Se non e vero, e molto ben trovato.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one knows how difficult anything is until he has tried to do it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62830]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one knows how difficult anything is until he has tried to do it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Before a war military science seems a real science, like astronomy; but after a war it seems more like astrology. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61154]]></link><description><![CDATA[Before a war military science seems a real science, like astronomy; but after a war it seems more like astrology.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5920]]></link><description><![CDATA[While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11374]]></link><description><![CDATA[When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions, they are required to swear that they will remain in that excited, abnormal, and exhausting condition continuously until death do them part.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pity is best taught by fellowship in woe ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46614]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pity is best taught by fellowship in woe]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want to know God's thoughts.
