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[There was an ape in the days that were earlier, Centuries passed and his hair became curlier;  Centuries more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14347]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was an ape in the days that were earlier, Centuries passed and his hair became curlier;  Centuries more gave a thumb to his wrist--   Then he was a Man and a Positivist.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can have anything you want if you want it desperately enough.
