The apostle calls it the band of perfection; it is the old, and it is the new, and it is the great commandment, and it is all the commandments; for it is the fulfilling of the Law. It does the work of all the graces without any instrument but its own immediate virtue. For as the love of sin makes a man sin against all his own reason, and all the discourses of wisdom, and all the advices of his friends, and without temptation and without opportunity, so does the love of God: it makes a man chaste without the laborious arts of fasting and exterior disciplines, temperate in the midst of feasts, and is active enough to choose it without any intermedial appetites, and reaches at glory through the very heart of grace, without any other aims but those of love. It is a grace that loves God for Himself, and our neighbors for God. The consideration of God's goodness and bounty, the experience of those profitable and excellent emanations from Him, may be, and most commonly are, the first motive of our love; but when we are once entered, and have tasted the goodness of God, we love the spring for its own excellency, passing from passion to reason, from thanking to adoring, from sense to spirit, from considering ourselves to union with God: and this is the image and little representation of heaven; it is beatitude in picture, or rather the infancy and beginning of glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have forgotten more law than you ever knew, but allow me to say, I have not forgotten much. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24271]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have forgotten more law than you ever knew, but allow me to say, I have not forgotten much.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want to emphasize that a large earthquake such as 1906 is not just a San Francisco quake, but a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30386]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want to emphasize that a large earthquake such as 1906 is not just a San Francisco quake, but a Northern California earthquake.

But to have any meaning or viability at all, a life plan must include intimate relationships. •Harriet Lerner  Treasure your relationships, not your possessions. •Anthony J D'Angelo  Money cannot buy peace of mind. It cannot heal ruptured relationships, or build meaning into a life that has none. •Richard M DeVos  Without relationships, no matter how much wealth, fame, power, prestige and seeming success by the standards and opinions of the world one has, happiness will constantly eluded him. •Sidney Malwed  Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust and hostility to evaporate. •Albert Schweitzer  The easiest kind of relationship is with ten thousand people, the hardest is with one. •Joan Baez  For me, the highest level of sexual excitement is in a monogamous relationship. •Warren Beatty  The key to any good relationship, on-screen and off, is communication, respect, and I guess you have to like the way the other person smells -- and he smelled real nice. •Sandra Bullock  My attachment has neither the blindness of the beginning, nor the microscopic accuracy of the close of such liaisons. •Lord Byron  In the mythic schema of all relations between men and women, man proposes, and woman is disposed of. •Angela Carter  I know for me the subject of how to be in a relationship is precious and complicated and challenging. It wouldn't be right to make it look too easy. •Helen Hunt  If we are a metaphor of the universe, the human couple is the metaphor par excellence, the point of intersection of all forces and the seed of all forms. The couple is time recaptured, the return to the time before time. •Octavio Paz  The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree but to hold hands. •Alexandria Penney  It is the things in common that make relationships enjoyable, but it is the little differences that make them interesting. •Todd Ruthman  When you're in a relationship, you're always surrounded by a ring of circumstances... joined together by a wedding ring, or in a boxing ring. •Bob Seger  If you're in a relationship and you want to make it work, you have to be a little selfless at times. •Montel Williams  Assumptions are the termites of relationships.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stop worrying -- nobody gets out of this world alive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44228]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stop worrying -- nobody gets out of this world alive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If he be so resolved, I can o'ersway him; for he loves to hear  That unicorns may be betrayed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16170]]></link><description><![CDATA[If he be so resolved, I can o'ersway him; for he loves to hear  That unicorns may be betrayed with trees   And bears with glasses, elephants with holes,    Lions with toils, and men with flatterers,     He says he does, being then most flattered.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In complex situations, we may rely too heavily on planning and forecasting and underestimate the importance of random factors in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9882]]></link><description><![CDATA[In complex situations, we may rely too heavily on planning and forecasting and underestimate the importance of random factors in the environment.
