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 love to roam o'er the dark sea's foam, Where the shrill winds whistle free. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44003]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some love to roam o'er the dark sea's foam, Where the shrill winds whistle free.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The secret wound still lives within the breast. [Lat., Tacitum vivit sub pectore vulnus.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51847]]></link><description><![CDATA[The secret wound still lives within the breast. [Lat., Tacitum vivit sub pectore vulnus.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alas! to seize the moment When the heart inclines to heart,  And press a suit with passion,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61999]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alas! to seize the moment When the heart inclines to heart,  And press a suit with passion,   Is not a woman's part.    If man come not to gather     The roses where they stand,      They fade among their foliage,       They cannot seek his hand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61999</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most men remember obligations, but are not often likely to be grateful; the proud are made sour by the remembrance ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44751]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most men remember obligations, but are not often likely to be grateful; the proud are made sour by the remembrance and the vain silent]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers.
