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://maxioms.com/maxiom/8589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the concept of the sea is very important. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28764]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the concept of the sea is very important.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28764</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As for marigolds, poppies, hollyhocks, and valorous sunflowers, we shall never have a garden without them, both for their own ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16241]]></link><description><![CDATA[As for marigolds, poppies, hollyhocks, and valorous sunflowers, we shall never have a garden without them, both for their own sake, and for the sake of old-fashioned folks, who used to love them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Compromise is never anything but an ignoble truce between the duty of a man and the terror of a coward. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9279]]></link><description><![CDATA[Compromise is never anything but an ignoble truce between the duty of a man and the terror of a coward.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[man is only a reed, the weakest thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19983]]></link><description><![CDATA[man is only a reed, the weakest thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have always felt a gift diamond shines so much better than one you buy for yourself ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17424]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have always felt a gift diamond shines so much better than one you buy for yourself]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All personal breakthroughs begin with a change in beliefs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21371]]></link><description><![CDATA[All personal breakthroughs begin with a change in beliefs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46907]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All change is a miracle to contemplate; but it is a miracle which is taking place every second. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27569]]></link><description><![CDATA[All change is a miracle to contemplate; but it is a miracle which is taking place every second.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There were some concerns out in the public.
