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[Getting rid of a man without hurting his masculinity is a problem.

I hope I am not wrong in saying that there is nothing Christian in such an attitude. It savours of the Paganism that saw behind the world a kind of ironical malice; that made Polycrates throw his ring into the sea, and called the Furies the Kindly Ones, if haply they might be so appeased.   But we stand outside this world of darkness, for we have learnt that all things were created by the eternal Word, who is Christ Jesus. We know, in the Pauline phrase, that it is in Him that the whole universal order of things consists or holds together. Those who have come to know that, know in consequence that they are in their Father's house. It is a big house, and they have begun to explore only a little of it. It has great reaches, and some of them are still shadowy. But it is His house, all of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's the best gowne that goes up and downe the house. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49791]]></link><description><![CDATA[That's the best gowne that goes up and downe the house.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A period of travel and relaxation when you take twice the clothes and half the money you need. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60314]]></link><description><![CDATA[A period of travel and relaxation when you take twice the clothes and half the money you need.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46344]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No matter what you've done for yourself or for humanity, if you can't look back on having given love and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25695]]></link><description><![CDATA[No matter what you've done for yourself or for humanity, if you can't look back on having given love and attention to your own family, what have you really accomplished?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be your own hero, it's cheaper than a movie ticket. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19262]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be your own hero, it's cheaper than a movie ticket.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are moments in the music that are really talking about the violence, as a society, that we do to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33178]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are moments in the music that are really talking about the violence, as a society, that we do to our water.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Lebanese, during their uprising, went too far, as they put in question all police regimes in the Arab world ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34380]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Lebanese, during their uprising, went too far, as they put in question all police regimes in the Arab world which risked to reflect badly on Syria.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Necessity is the mother of "taking chances" ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44035]]></link><description><![CDATA[Necessity is the mother of "taking chances"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44035</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wal-Mart is an innovator and the creation of this special Panel will improve and expand upon the opportunities for Wal-Mart ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33477]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wal-Mart is an innovator and the creation of this special Panel will improve and expand upon the opportunities for Wal-Mart associates around the country.

Life in God is not an escape from this, but a way to gain full insight concerning it. It is not our depravity which forces a fictitious religious explanation upon us, but the experience of religious reality which forces the "Night Side" out into the light. It is when we stand in the righteous all-seeing light of love that we can dare to look at, admit, and consciously suffer under this something in us which wills disaster, misfortune, defeat to everything outside the sphere of our narrowest self interest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He doesn't want to do it where he's asked questions about this by opponents, ...
