If you have to do with one who is unquestionably a slanderer, do not excuse him by calling him frank and free-spoken; do not call one who is notoriously vain, liberal and elegant; do not call dangerous levities mere simplicity; do not screen disobedience under the name of zeal; or arrogance, of frankness; or evil intimacy, of friendship. No, my friends, we must never, in our wish to shun slander, foster or flatter vice in others: but we must call evil evil, and sin sin, and so doing we shall serve God's glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think there's a feeling that there but for the grace of God, these sort of problems could easily happen ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31385]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think there's a feeling that there but for the grace of God, these sort of problems could easily happen to your own children.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing ends nicely, that's why it ends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11254]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing ends nicely, that's why it ends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We cannot conceive of matter being formed of nothing, since things require a seed to start from. [Lat., Nil igitur ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44672]]></link><description><![CDATA[We cannot conceive of matter being formed of nothing, since things require a seed to start from. [Lat., Nil igitur fieri de nilo posse putandum es  Semine quando opus est rebus.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The giving of riches and honors to a wicked man is like giving strong wine to him that hath a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61551]]></link><description><![CDATA[The giving of riches and honors to a wicked man is like giving strong wine to him that hath a fever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the last couple years, a lot of resources in the IRS are going to enforcement. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31431]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the last couple years, a lot of resources in the IRS are going to enforcement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things do not change; we change. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5492]]></link><description><![CDATA[Things do not change; we change.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My delivery got out of hand a little.
