Let us live while we live; let us be alive and doing; let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish. Let us believe what we do not see and know. Let us forestall knowledge by faith. Let us maintain before we have demonstrated. This seeming paradox is the secret of happiness. Why should we be unwilling to go by faith? We do all things in this world by faith in the word of others. By faith only do we know our position in the world, our circumstances, our rights and privileges, our fortunes, our parents, our brothers and sisters, our age, our mortality. Why should Religion be an exception? Why should we be unwilling to use for heavenly objects what we daily use for earthly?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[lovers alone wear sunlight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25792]]></link><description><![CDATA[lovers alone wear sunlight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14753]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His behavior changed.
