The verdict you pronounce upon the source of your livelihood is the verdict you pronounce upon your life. If the source is corrupt, you have damned your own existence. Did you get your money by fraud? By pandering to men's vices or men's stupidity? By catering to fools, in the hope of getting more than your ability deserves? By lowering your standards? By doing work you despise for purchasers your scorn? If so, then your money will not give you a moment's or a penny's worth of joy. Then all the things you buy will become, not a tribute to you, but a reproach; not an achievement, but a reminder of shame. Then you'll scream that money is evil. Evil, because it would not pinch-hit for your self-respect? Evil, because it would not let you enjoy your depravity? Is this the root of your hatred of money?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Ms. Andersen, who couldn't afford to live on campus, remembered meeting other commuters at their cars at the moment members ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31819]]></link><description><![CDATA[[Ms. Andersen, who couldn't afford to live on campus, remembered meeting other commuters at their cars at the moment members of the Alameda County Police force stormed up the avenue toward them.
