If you have to do with one who is unquestionably a slanderer, do not excuse him by calling him frank and free-spoken; do not call one who is notoriously vain, liberal and elegant; do not call dangerous levities mere simplicity; do not screen disobedience under the name of zeal; or arrogance, of frankness; or evil intimacy, of friendship. No, my friends, we must never, in our wish to shun slander, foster or flatter vice in others: but we must call evil evil, and sin sin, and so doing we shall serve God's glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26915]]></link><description><![CDATA[A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The moon has set In a bank of jet  That fringes the Western sky,   The pleiads seven ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56521]]></link><description><![CDATA[The moon has set In a bank of jet  That fringes the Western sky,   The pleiads seven    Have sunk from heaven     And the midnight hurries by;      My hopes are flown       And, alas! alone        On my weary couch I lie.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11189]]></link><description><![CDATA[For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are fagots and fagots. [Fr., Il y a fagots et fagots.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9162]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are fagots and fagots. [Fr., Il y a fagots et fagots.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel fully decided that we should all go to Europe together and to work as if an established Partnership ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38839]]></link><description><![CDATA[I feel fully decided that we should all go to Europe together and to work as if an established Partnership for Life consisting of Husband Wife and Children.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perception is strong and sight weak.

But what doth the Christian like this? None is ashamed, none repenteth, save that he was not such long ago. If he be marked down, he glorieth; if accused, maketh no defense; being questioned, confesseth even of his own accord; being condemned, giveth thanks. What manner of evil is this, which hath not the natural marks of evil, fear, shame, shrinking, penitence, sorrow? What manner of evil is this, whereof he that is accused rejoiceth?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If America's seen as being indifferent or even attacking the prophet, a lot of Muslims are going to say it's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28570]]></link><description><![CDATA[If America's seen as being indifferent or even attacking the prophet, a lot of Muslims are going to say it's an attack on Islam.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Baal-adorer bows on Sinai's steep; Yet there, e'en there, O God, thy thunders sleep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48763]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Baal-adorer bows on Sinai's steep; Yet there, e'en there, O God, thy thunders sleep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48763</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make yourself look stupid on occasion, because if you don't people will start to think you're smart.
