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's easier to get rich than it is to explain not getting rich. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22612]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's easier to get rich than it is to explain not getting rich.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19748]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There can be but little liberty on earth while men worship a tyrant in heaven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3415]]></link><description><![CDATA[There can be but little liberty on earth while men worship a tyrant in heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you become senile, you won't know it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1866]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you become senile, you won't know it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I repeat... that all power is a trust; that we are accountable for its exercise; that from the people and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64222]]></link><description><![CDATA[I repeat... that all power is a trust; that we are accountable for its exercise; that from the people and for the people all springs, and all must exist.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is an hour wherein a man might be happy all his life, could he find it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49951]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is an hour wherein a man might be happy all his life, could he find it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And we must take the current when it serves; Or lose our ventures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51292]]></link><description><![CDATA[And we must take the current when it serves; Or lose our ventures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle that fits them all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26140]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle that fits them all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This country cannot afford to be materially rich and spiritually poor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61454]]></link><description><![CDATA[This country cannot afford to be materially rich and spiritually poor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Having a positive mental attitude is asking how something can be done rather than saying it can't be done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3436]]></link><description><![CDATA[Having a positive mental attitude is asking how something can be done rather than saying it can't be done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friends, if we be honest with ourselves, we shall be honest with each other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5208]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friends, if we be honest with ourselves, we shall be honest with each other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything is perfect in the universe -
