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[Secrets are things we give to others to keep for us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54997]]></link><description><![CDATA[Secrets are things we give to others to keep for us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you think of yourselves as helpless and ineffectual, it is certain that you will create a despotic government to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47279]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you think of yourselves as helpless and ineffectual, it is certain that you will create a despotic government to be your master.

Mother, wife, or sister, Woman is the caress of life, the soothing sweetness of affection shed over its toils, a reflection for the individual of the loving providence which watches over Humanity. In her there is treasure enough of consoling tenderness to allay every pain. Moreover for every one of us she is the initiator of the future. The mother's first kiss teaches the child love; the first holy kiss of the woman he loves teaches man hope and faith in life; and love and faith create a desire for perfection and the power of reaching towards it step by step; create the future, in short, of which the living symbol is the child, link between us and the generations to come.
