We have literally no time to sit down and ask ourselves whether so-and-so is our neighbor or not. We must get into action and obey -- we must behave like a neighbor to him. But perhaps this shocks you. Perhaps you still think you ought to think out beforehand and know what you ought to do. To that, there is only one answer. You can only know and think about it by actually doing it. It is no use asking questions; for it is only through obedience that you come to learn the truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow. [Lat., Gloria virtutem tanquam umbra sequitur.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17542]]></link><description><![CDATA[Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow. [Lat., Gloria virtutem tanquam umbra sequitur.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Zeal without humanity is like a ship without a rudder, liable to be stranded at any moment ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62613]]></link><description><![CDATA[Zeal without humanity is like a ship without a rudder, liable to be stranded at any moment]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One reason God created time was so that there would be a place to bury the failures of the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17663]]></link><description><![CDATA[One reason God created time was so that there would be a place to bury the failures of the past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We just have to keep playing hard.

And they are present in such a way that he not only conceives them through ideas, as we have before us those things which our minds remember, but he truly looks upon them and discerns them as things placed before him. And this foreknowledge is extended throughout the universe to every creature. We call predestination God's eternal decree, by which he determined with himself what he willed to become of each man. For all are not created in equal condition; rather, eternal life is foreordained for some, eternal damnation for others. Therefore, as any man has been created to one or the other of these ends, we speak of him as predestined to life or death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7558</guid></item></channel></rss>
