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 give but little when you give of your possessions.

To possess a high spirit, to behave with proper spirit when used ill -- by which is meant, a quick feeling of injuries, and a promptness in resenting them -- entitles to commendation; and a meek-spirited disposition, the highest Scripture eulogium, expresses ideas of disapprobation and contempt. Vanity and vainglory are suffered without interruption to retain their natural possession of the heart.   ... William Wilberforce, A Practical View  July 31, 2000 Commemoration of Ignatius of Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus, 1556  Jesus used the term abba (which means father or "daddy" in his Aramaic mother tongue), as an address in his prayers to God. There are no other examples of this usage in contemporary Judaism, but Jesus always addressed God in this way. The others perhaps regarded it as child's talk, a form of expression too disrespectful to be so used. But for Jesus, abba expressed the filial intimacy he felt toward his Father. As the divine Son of the Father, Jesus enjoyed a unique relationship with him, and his mission in the world consisted in opening up the blessings of sonship to those who believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bit of fragrance clings to the hand that gives flowers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62814]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bit of fragrance clings to the hand that gives flowers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[a Christmas tree .. the perfect giftfor a guy... the plant is already dead(monologue Dec 10 2003). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20094]]></link><description><![CDATA[a Christmas tree .. the perfect giftfor a guy... the plant is already dead(monologue Dec 10 2003).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know that a man who shows me his wealth is like the beggar who shows me his poverty; they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1145]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know that a man who shows me his wealth is like the beggar who shows me his poverty; they are both looking for alms from me, the rich man for the alms of my envy, the poor man for the alms of my guilt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We need a plumber to install showers; we want to expand the playground for the children; we also want to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41498]]></link><description><![CDATA[We need a plumber to install showers; we want to expand the playground for the children; we also want to incorporate classes that will benefit the mothers into our schedule.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He puls with a long rope, that waits for anothers death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49321]]></link><description><![CDATA[He puls with a long rope, that waits for anothers death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Habit is either the best of servants or the worst of masters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22067]]></link><description><![CDATA[Habit is either the best of servants or the worst of masters.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is angry at a feast is rude. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49362]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is angry at a feast is rude.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49362</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But that's another story. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57923]]></link><description><![CDATA[But that's another story.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57923</guid></item></channel></rss>
