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[Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15326]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Must I hold a candle to my shames? -The Merchant of Venice.

Nothing was ever created by two men. There are no good collaborations, whether in music, in art, in poetry, in mathematics, in philosophy. Once the miracle of creation has taken place, the group can build and extend it, but the group never invents anything.

Each part of Scripture, both open and dark, teaches meekness and charity; and therefore he that keeps meekness and charity has the true understanding and perfection of all Scripture. Therefore, no simple man of wit should be afraid to study in the text of Scripture. And no cleric should be proud of the true understanding of Scripture, because understanding of Scripture without charity that keeps God's commandments, makes a man deeper damned... and pride and covetousness of clerics is the cause of [the Church's] blindness and heresy, and deprives them of the true understanding of Scripture.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can't tell you I'm satisfied with the results of the whole camera situation, because I'm not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28711]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can't tell you I'm satisfied with the results of the whole camera situation, because I'm not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who preserves a man's life against his will does the same thing as if he slew him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50250]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who preserves a man's life against his will does the same thing as if he slew him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursel's as ithers see us!  It wad frae monie ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2808]]></link><description><![CDATA[O wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursel's as ithers see us!  It wad frae monie a blunder free us.   And foolish notion;    What airs in dress and gait wad lea'e us,     And ev'n devotion!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It could be a sea change, but I don't think so.

Faith is not understood when [it is] only demonstrated by life. The more sanctified a life without the verbal witness, the greater the danger of the Christian's goodness getting in the way. Should a person by the grace of God become easier to live with, he doesn't need to call attention to it: it will speak for itself. He can instead seek to balance the reverse effect of the good image by occasionally speaking of the unfavorable realities within, those parts that are still changing. In this way, his external behavior by contrast can point to the power of God, rather than to the effort of man. When we decrease, He can increase, but not until.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A creature not too bright nor good For human nature's daily food. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51858]]></link><description><![CDATA[A creature not too bright nor good For human nature's daily food.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51858</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scientists now believe that the primary biological function of breasts is to make males stupid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54875]]></link><description><![CDATA[Scientists now believe that the primary biological function of breasts is to make males stupid.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boredom is a vital problem for the moralist, since at least half the sins of mankind are caused by the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4725]]></link><description><![CDATA[Boredom is a vital problem for the moralist, since at least half the sins of mankind are caused by the fear of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are practical little things in housekeeping which no man really understands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47974]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are practical little things in housekeeping which no man really understands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prudence is a rich ugly old maid courted by Incapacity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51948]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prudence is a rich ugly old maid courted by Incapacity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the reason why mothers are more devoted to their children than fathers: it is that they suffer more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43228]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the reason why mothers are more devoted to their children than fathers: it is that they suffer more in giving them birth and are more certain that they are their own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If folks can learn to be racist, then they can learn to be anti racist.
