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[It may be a cold, clammy thing to say, but those that treat friendship the same as any other selfishness ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66613]]></link><description><![CDATA[It may be a cold, clammy thing to say, but those that treat friendship the same as any other selfishness seem to get the most out of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I cannot give thee less, to be called grateful. Thou thought'st to help me, and such thanks I give  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58990]]></link><description><![CDATA[I cannot give thee less, to be called grateful. Thou thought'st to help me, and such thanks I give  As one near death to those that wish him live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I am at Rome I fast as the Romans do; when I am at Milan I do not fast. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54394]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I am at Rome I fast as the Romans do; when I am at Milan I do not fast.

The ministry of Jesus, therefore, culminating in His death, is essential to Paul's whole thought. If in certain aspects of his theology it is the death that bulks most largely -- because it seemed to him to be the purest and most moving expression of what the whole life meant -- he is quite aware that the ethical impulse given by the example and teaching of Jesus is of the very stuff of the Christian life. He alludes to the Gospel story but sparingly, but those who study his teaching most closely become aware that he is himself acting and speaking all through under the impulse of the life and teaching of Jesus. If he refuses to "know Christ after the flesh," it means that he will not risk a harking back to the temporary conditions of the Galilean ministry when the Spirit of Christ is clearly leading out into new fields. The issues of that ministry have been gathered up in the new experience of "Christ in me", and that experience gives a living Christ, who leads ever onward those who will adventure with Him, and not a prophet of the past, whose words might pass into a dead tradition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We hardly find any persons of good sense save those who agree with us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44946]]></link><description><![CDATA[We hardly find any persons of good sense save those who agree with us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Living in the lap of luxury isn't bad, except that you never know when luxury is going to stand up ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26069]]></link><description><![CDATA[Living in the lap of luxury isn't bad, except that you never know when luxury is going to stand up]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing begins, and nothing ends,  That is not paid with moan; For we are born in others' pain  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45391]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing begins, and nothing ends,  That is not paid with moan; For we are born in others' pain  And perish in our own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8667]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2601]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be. -Thomas a Kempis.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intellectuals are people who believe that ideas are of more importance than values.

He desires his transcript to be faithful to the meaning of the original, so far as he can reach that meaning, and also to do some justice to its literary qualities. But he is well aware that his aim often exceeds his grasp. Translation may be a fascinating task, yet no discipline is more humbling. You may be translating oracles, but soon you learn the risk and folly of posing as an oracle yourself. If your readers are dissatisfied at any point, they may be sure that the translator is still more dissatisfied, if not there, then elsewhere -- all the more so, because, in the nature of the case, he has always to appear dogmatic in print.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't want to end up with a situation where we both have a very stringent self-regulatory regime, [but then] ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32871]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't want to end up with a situation where we both have a very stringent self-regulatory regime, [but then] we have to answer to their data privacy regime as well.
