He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly as necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well, he's a wonderful son-in-law. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38609]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well, he's a wonderful son-in-law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cleverness is serviceable for everything, sufficient for nothing ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8868]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cleverness is serviceable for everything, sufficient for nothing]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Calamity is the test of integrity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5174]]></link><description><![CDATA[Calamity is the test of integrity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now would I give a thousand furlongs of sea for an acre of barren ground--long heath, brown furze, anything.

In a subtle way, talking about something becomes an excuse for not doing it. This new bolt-hole of the conference and study group is not confined to the local congregation. It is a painful fact of life in the central structures of the churches. We have a welter of reports, commissions, surveys, liaison bodies, and so on. They have the appearance of progressive thinking and readiness to face change, combined with the function of being delaying devices. They are the sacraments of current Christianity, and its dilemma. Outreach is a move from power structures to meekness structures, and, in spite of the fact that Christians believe that it is the meek who shall inherit the earth, they show (as in the ecumenical movement) a distinct reluctance to relinquish power-structure thinking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man, youth never. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64143]]></link><description><![CDATA[Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man, youth never.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64143</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Watteau is no less an artist for having painted a fascia board while Sainsbury's is no less effective a business ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27919]]></link><description><![CDATA[Watteau is no less an artist for having painted a fascia board while Sainsbury's is no less effective a business for producing advertisements which entertain and educate instead of condescending and exploiting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[W'en you see a man in woe, Walk right up and say "hullo."  Say "hullo" and "how d'ye do," ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19951]]></link><description><![CDATA[W'en you see a man in woe, Walk right up and say "hullo."  Say "hullo" and "how d'ye do,"   "How's the world a-usin' you?"    . . . .     W'en you travel through the strange      Country t'other side the range,       Then the souls you've cheered will know        Who you be, an' say "hullo."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A poor lone woman. -King Henry IV.
