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[Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24676]]></link><description><![CDATA[Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Idleness ruins the constitution. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50732]]></link><description><![CDATA[Idleness ruins the constitution.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blessed are the hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66548]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blessed are the hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many things made me become a vegetarian, among them, the higher food yield as a solution to world hunger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60459]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many things made me become a vegetarian, among them, the higher food yield as a solution to world hunger.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[to be nobody-but-myself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make me everybody else means, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1371]]></link><description><![CDATA[to be nobody-but-myself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make me everybody else means, to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A young Apollo, golden haired, Stands dreaming on the verge of strife,  Magnificently unprepared   For the long ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62571]]></link><description><![CDATA[A young Apollo, golden haired, Stands dreaming on the verge of strife,  Magnificently unprepared   For the long littleness of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Un-dish-cover the fish, or dishcover the riddle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16062]]></link><description><![CDATA[Un-dish-cover the fish, or dishcover the riddle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're staring record energy prices in the face every day, it seems. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30657]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're staring record energy prices in the face every day, it seems.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pursuit of perfection, then, is the pursuit of sweetness and light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25075]]></link><description><![CDATA[The pursuit of perfection, then, is the pursuit of sweetness and light.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is enough in the world for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13122]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is enough in the world for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10546]]></link><description><![CDATA[We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like as a feareful partridge, that is fledd From the sharpe hauke which her attacked neare,  And falls to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45584]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like as a feareful partridge, that is fledd From the sharpe hauke which her attacked neare,  And falls to ground to seeke for succor theare,   Whereas the hungry spaniells she does spye,    With greedy jawes her ready for to teare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You're crazy not to recognize that Mike Vick is a great player.

It is inconceivable that the things that are of utmost importance to each individual should not be spoken by one to another. It is unchristian consciously to deprive another of the one decisive service we can render to him...   The more we learn to allow others to speak the Word to us, to accept humbly and gratefully even severe reproaches and admonitions, the more free and objective will we be in speaking ourselves. The humble person will stick to truth and love. He will stick to the Word of God and let it lead him to his brother...   Reproof is unavoidable. God's Word demands it when a brother falls into open sin. Where defection from God's Word in doctrine or life imperils the fellowship... the word of admonition and rebuke must be ventured. Nothing can be more cruel than the tenderness that consigns another to his sin. Nothing can be more compassionate than the severe rebuke that calls a brother back from the path of sin. It is a ministry of mercy, an ultimate offer of genuine fellowship, when we allow nothing but God's Word to stand between us, judging and succoring.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are very pleased that our ships are making a difference in their lives and contributing to the recovery of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42719]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are very pleased that our ships are making a difference in their lives and contributing to the recovery of New Orleans,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything that can be invented has been invented. -- Charles H.
