Because it confronts the problem of human sin, it can face our difficulties and dilemmas without evasions -- without the fundamental evasiveness of those who believe that all would be well with the world if it were not for a few unspeakable criminals, always conveniently identified with the political enemy of the moment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27397]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One travels more usefully when alone, because he reflects more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65240]]></link><description><![CDATA[One travels more usefully when alone, because he reflects more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The initial reaction is being surprised and pleased.
