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[As the longfingered sunreaches out to toucha cloistered trillium or a lake trembles inthe light of moon and starsso can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43492]]></link><description><![CDATA[As the longfingered sunreaches out to toucha cloistered trillium or a lake trembles inthe light of moon and starsso can a poet's long rainbowof wordsplay our heartstrings from afar.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is . . . sometimes easier to head an institute for the study of child guidance than it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18453]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is . . . sometimes easier to head an institute for the study of child guidance than it is to turn one brat into a decent human being.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good is the mora that makes all sure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49286]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good is the mora that makes all sure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49286</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A political career brings out the basest qualities in human nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47032]]></link><description><![CDATA[A political career brings out the basest qualities in human nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that respects not, is not respected. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49476]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that respects not, is not respected.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sentiment is intellectualized emotion; emotion precipitated, as it were, in pretty crystals by the fancy ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55186]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sentiment is intellectualized emotion; emotion precipitated, as it were, in pretty crystals by the fancy]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we did everything tonight but win on the scoreboard.

The Colloquies of Erasmus    April 30, 1998  Commemoration of Pandita Mary Ramabai, Translator of the Scriptures, 1922  What keeps most men in "Christian" countries from being heretics in this sense is that they do not publicly avow their disbelief: it is in better taste to be casual about lost beliefs, and a note of wistfulness generally ensures forgiveness. Obstinacy is rare. Millions do not even know that they deny essential Christian doctrines: they have never bothered to find out what the essential doctrines are. In extenuation they may plead that the evasiveness and the multiplicity of churches create a difficulty; but to be deterred by this when one's eternal destiny is said to be at stake bespeaks a glaring lack of seriousness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rumor mills is spreading and people are taking their kids out of school and are not going to work. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31011]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rumor mills is spreading and people are taking their kids out of school and are not going to work.
