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://maxioms.com/maxiom/8589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I went on a diet, swore off drinking and heavy eating, and in fourteen days I lost two weeks ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12209]]></link><description><![CDATA[I went on a diet, swore off drinking and heavy eating, and in fourteen days I lost two weeks]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One must be a god to be able to tell successes from failures without making a mistake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58131]]></link><description><![CDATA[One must be a god to be able to tell successes from failures without making a mistake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Philosophers are capable of almost endless enjoyment of mutual misunderstanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13938]]></link><description><![CDATA[Philosophers are capable of almost endless enjoyment of mutual misunderstanding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They cannot take away our self-respect if we do not give it to them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21101]]></link><description><![CDATA[They cannot take away our self-respect if we do not give it to them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Words are but empty thanks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62050]]></link><description><![CDATA[Words are but empty thanks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Basically I'm pleased the towns have decided to participate in the project, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31821]]></link><description><![CDATA[Basically I'm pleased the towns have decided to participate in the project,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It would be absolutely a mistake to think that you can just eat what you want and you're going to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31453]]></link><description><![CDATA[It would be absolutely a mistake to think that you can just eat what you want and you're going to be OK.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything is perfect in the universe -- even your desire to improve it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21877]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything is perfect in the universe -- even your desire to improve it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21877</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O bed!

A long series of rejections and subsequent attendant conditions follow the rejections of the Bible as God's Word. Next to that rejection has come the rejection of the God of the Bible. Next, there usually follows a rejection of the Bible's presentation of man as a lost rebel against God, [and then] comes the rejection of biblical morality and ethics. [After] all of these, the next step is a short one--the rejection of biblical obedience to the laws of God and man. And, of course, many more items of rejection can be added to the list. But the crucial point here is that all of these can be traced back to the initial rejection of the absolute authority of Holy Writ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who the hell wants to hear actors talk? -- H.M.
