We are bound to Him, and not He to us, because before He was loved, He loved us... There it is, then: we cannot... love Him with this first love. Yet I say that God demands of us, that as He has loved us without any second thoughts, so He should be loved by us. In what way can we do this, then? ... I tell you, through a means which he has established, by which we can love Him freely; ... that is, we can be useful, not to Him -- which is impossible -- but to our neighbor... To show the love that we have for Him, we ought to serve and love every rational creature and extend our charity to good and bad -- as much to one who does us ill service and criticizes us as to one who serves us. For, His charity extends over just men and sinners.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes you have to let go to see if there was anything worth holding on to. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46227]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes you have to let go to see if there was anything worth holding on to.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nowhere in the world where sleep is so deep as in the libraries of the House of Commons. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56627]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nowhere in the world where sleep is so deep as in the libraries of the House of Commons.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You'd be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2854]]></link><description><![CDATA[You'd be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not know what I seem to the world, but to myself I appear to have been like a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15238]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not know what I seem to the world, but to myself I appear to have been like a boy playing upon the seashore and diverting myself and then finding a smoother pebble or prettier shell than ordinary, while the great ocean of truth lay before me all undiscovered.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe in luck: how else can you explain the success of those you dislike? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26046]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe in luck: how else can you explain the success of those you dislike?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And weep the more, because I weep in vain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58800]]></link><description><![CDATA[And weep the more, because I weep in vain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rich live hand-to-mouth too-just on a higher level. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22369]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rich live hand-to-mouth too-just on a higher level.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This ae nighte, this ae nighte Every nighte and all;  Fire and sleete, and candle lighte   And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57263]]></link><description><![CDATA[This ae nighte, this ae nighte Every nighte and all;  Fire and sleete, and candle lighte   And Christe receive thye saule.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was a man bespake a think, Which when the owner home did bring,  He that made it did ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60068]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was a man bespake a think, Which when the owner home did bring,  He that made it did refuse it:   And he that brought it would not use it,    And he that hath it doth now know     Whether he hath it yea or no.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1774]]></link><description><![CDATA[You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the highest tribute we can pay him, our appreciation for his superlative writing, his incomparable writing.
