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[Grasp the subject, the words will follow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52478]]></link><description><![CDATA[Grasp the subject, the words will follow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65949]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pessimist asked God for relief.

But let me tell you that herein you put an extremely difficult task upon us, in expecting that we should pour wine and oil into the wound before it be searched, and speak smooth and comfortable things to a man that is but just brought to a sense of the long course of a lewd and wicked life impenitently continued in. Alas! what comfort can we give to men in such a case? We are loth to drive them to despair; and yet we must not destroy them by presumption; pity and good nature do strongly tempt us to make the best of their case and to give them all the little hopes which with any kind of reason we can --and God knows it is but very little that we can give to such persons upon good ground, for it all depends upon the degree and sincerity of their repentance, which God only knows, and we can but guess at.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For I would rather be a servant in the House of the Lord than to sit in the seats of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17693]]></link><description><![CDATA[For I would rather be a servant in the House of the Lord than to sit in the seats of the mighty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17693</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a place gets crowded enough to require ID's, social collapse is not far away.
