There is no feeble unconcern and indiscriminateness there, and neither is there any excited hatred of the creed, the doctrine, or the Church, which you feel wholly wrong. You have not fled out of the furnace of bigotry to freeze on the open and desolate plains of indifference. You believe and yet you have no wish to persecute.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We suffer most when the White House busts with ideas. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47498]]></link><description><![CDATA[We suffer most when the White House busts with ideas.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm optimistic that the Valley has been made aware of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37173]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm optimistic that the Valley has been made aware of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A promising career can be cut short, ...
