He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly as necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You do whatever you can either to maintain an edge or to get an edge and for men now, it's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42564]]></link><description><![CDATA[You do whatever you can either to maintain an edge or to get an edge and for men now, it's not like you can just rest on your laurels.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The presidency has made every man who occupied it, no matter how small, bigger than he was; and no matter ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48140]]></link><description><![CDATA[The presidency has made every man who occupied it, no matter how small, bigger than he was; and no matter how big, not big enough for its demands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are living "between the times" -- the time of Christ's resurrection and the new age of the Spirit, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6276]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are living "between the times" -- the time of Christ's resurrection and the new age of the Spirit, and the time of fulfillment in Christ.
