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[A good memory and a tongue tied in the middle is a combination which gives immortality to conversation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10108]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good memory and a tongue tied in the middle is a combination which gives immortality to conversation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10108</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If intellection and knowledge were mere passion from without, or the bare reception of extraneous and adventitious forms, then no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46288]]></link><description><![CDATA[If intellection and knowledge were mere passion from without, or the bare reception of extraneous and adventitious forms, then no reason could be given at all why a mirror or looking-glass should not understand; whereas it cannot so much as sensibly perceive those images which it receives and reflects to us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're essentially running a campaign without reporting who their contributors are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39624]]></link><description><![CDATA[They're essentially running a campaign without reporting who their contributors are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest weakness of all is the great fear of appearing weak. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61357]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest weakness of all is the great fear of appearing weak.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then let him know that hatred without end Or intermission is between us two. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18853]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then let him know that hatred without end Or intermission is between us two.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You must have long term goals to keep you from being frustrated by short term failures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17628]]></link><description><![CDATA[You must have long term goals to keep you from being frustrated by short term failures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good bankers, like good tea, can only be appreciated when they are in hot water. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3718]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good bankers, like good tea, can only be appreciated when they are in hot water.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For six years, Belgrade has been allowed to partition Kosovo at the Ibar ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28804]]></link><description><![CDATA[For six years, Belgrade has been allowed to partition Kosovo at the Ibar]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10436]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's getting better every week.

The affliction is light and temporary when compared with the all-surpassing and everlasting glory. So Paul, writing against a background of recent and (even for him) unparalleled tribulation, had assured his friends in Corinth a year or two before this that 'this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison' (2 Cor 4:17). It is not merely that the glory is a compensation for the suffering; it actually grows out of the suffering. There is an organic relation between the two for the believer as surely as there was for the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She is but half a wife that is not, nor is capable of being, a friend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61571]]></link><description><![CDATA[She is but half a wife that is not, nor is capable of being, a friend.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Renowned Spenser, lie a thought more nigh To learned Chaucer, and rare Beaumont lie  A little nearer Spenser, to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55308]]></link><description><![CDATA[Renowned Spenser, lie a thought more nigh To learned Chaucer, and rare Beaumont lie  A little nearer Spenser, to make room   For Shakespeare in your threefold, fourfold tomb.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many men in love with a dimple makes the mistake of marrying the whole girl.
