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[Listen, my friend, there are two races of beings.

The masses teeming and happy -- common clay, if you like -- eating, breeding, working, counting their pennies; people who just live; ordinary people; people you can't imagine dead.

The ones you can quite well imagine lying shot, pale and tragic; one minute triumphant with a guard of honor, and the next being marched away between two gendarmes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only gift is a portion of thyself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17285]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only gift is a portion of thyself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17285</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Age--that period of life in which we compound for the vices that we still cherish by reviling those that we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Age--that period of life in which we compound for the vices that we still cherish by reviling those that we no longer have the enterprise to commit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[is to build an Iraqi security capacity, all the way from the police level up to the national army level, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38367]]></link><description><![CDATA[is to build an Iraqi security capacity, all the way from the police level up to the national army level, that is militarily effective and loyal to the established civil government.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As you continue to send out love, the energy returns to you in a regenerating spiral...
