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[Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62408]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Maximilian Kolbe, Franciscan Friar, Priest, Martyr, 1941   Whether God revealed Himself to the patriarchs by oracles ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7525]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Maximilian Kolbe, Franciscan Friar, Priest, Martyr, 1941   Whether God revealed Himself to the patriarchs by oracles and visions, or suggested, by means of the ministry of men, what should be handed down by tradition to their posterity, it is beyond a doubt that their minds were impressed with a firm assurance of the doctrine, so that they were persuaded and convinced that the information they had received came from God... But since we are not favored with daily oracles from heaven, and since it is only in the Scriptures that the Lord hath been pleased to preserve His truth in perpetual remembrance, it obtains the same complete credit and authority with believers, when they are satisfied of its divine origin, as if they heard the very words pronounced by God Himself... Let it be considered, then, as an undeniable truth, that they who have been inwardly taught by the Spirit feel an entire acquiescence in the Scripture, and that it is self-authenticated, carrying with it its own evidence, and ought not to be made the subject of demonstration and arguments from reason; but it obtains the credit which it deserves with us by the testimony of the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66040]]></link><description><![CDATA[All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What, did you not know, then, that to-day Lucullus dines with Lucullus? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13247]]></link><description><![CDATA[What, did you not know, then, that to-day Lucullus dines with Lucullus?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On April 30, 1789, George Washington, standing on the balcony of Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York, took ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60293]]></link><description><![CDATA[On April 30, 1789, George Washington, standing on the balcony of Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York, took his oath of office as the first President of the United States.

Therefore he must not feel too keenly the burden of responsibility, because at the end of the day all he can say is, "We are unprofitable servants". This knowledge, far from inhibiting action, actually releases the Christian from that appalling feeling of responsibility that has driven so many high-minded humanists to despair, even to suicide... Work done conscientiously by the Christian is his share in Christ's service; but it is Christ's service, and therefore the Christian need neither be proud because it has succeeded or overwhelmed because it has failed. The service of Christ is supremely expressed in the apparent failure of the Cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I shall never permit myself to stoop so low as to hate any man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18820]]></link><description><![CDATA[I shall never permit myself to stoop so low as to hate any man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful.
