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[Sometimes there is a greater lack of communication in facile talking than in silence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64293]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes there is a greater lack of communication in facile talking than in silence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64293</guid></item></channel></rss>
