It is often the one blot on an otherwise noble character. You know men who are all but perfect, and women who would be entirely perfect, but for an easily ruffled, quick-tempered, or "touchy" disposition. This compatibility of ill temper with high moral character is one of the strangest and saddest problems of ethics... No form of vice -- not worldliness, not greed of gold, not drunkenness itself -- does more to unChristianize society than evil temper. For embittering life, for breaking up communities, for destroying the most sacred relationships, for devastating homes, for withering up men and women, for taking the bloom off of childhood -- in short, for sheer, gratuitous misery-producing power -- this influence stands alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[See the gold sunshine patching, And streaming and streaking across  The gray-green oaks; and catching,   By its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58281]]></link><description><![CDATA[See the gold sunshine patching, And streaming and streaking across  The gray-green oaks; and catching,   By its soft brown beard, the moss.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great secret of success is to go through life as a man who never gets used up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63690]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great secret of success is to go through life as a man who never gets used up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men always want to be a woman's first love - women like to be a mans last romance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16043]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men always want to be a woman's first love - women like to be a mans last romance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The state puts a lot of mandates on the town, not just for education, ...

This is the more abundant life which, in its own particular language and own particular way, it calls us to live. Because it is our part in the one life in the whole universe of spirits, our share in the great drive towards Reality, the tendency of all life to seek God Who made it for Himself and now incites and guides it, we are already adapted to it. Just as a fish is adapted to life in the sea. This view of our situation fills us with a certain awed and humble gladness. It delivers us from all niggling fuss about ourselves, prevents us from feeling self-important about our own little spiritual adventures; and yet makes them worth while as part of one great spiritual adventure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They are slaves who fear to speak For the fallen and the weak;  . . . .   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56596]]></link><description><![CDATA[They are slaves who fear to speak For the fallen and the weak;  . . . .   They are slaves who dare not be    In the right with two or three.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We didn't bunch enough hits together.
