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[I knew as well as anybody what the endowment does for artists because I had been someone it had supported ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37185]]></link><description><![CDATA[I knew as well as anybody what the endowment does for artists because I had been someone it had supported through not-for-profit theater.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12687]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Priestly was the first (unless it was Becarria) who taught my lips to pronounce this sacred truth--that the greatest happiness ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18633]]></link><description><![CDATA[Priestly was the first (unless it was Becarria) who taught my lips to pronounce this sacred truth--that the greatest happiness of the greatest number is the foundation of morals and legislation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a big difference between thinking: I'm in a relationship and something's wrong.
