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[Commemoration of John & Henry Venn, Priests, Evangelical Divines, 1813, 1873  For Christian consciousness, paradise is the Kingdom of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8369]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John & Henry Venn, Priests, Evangelical Divines, 1813, 1873  For Christian consciousness, paradise is the Kingdom of Christ and is unthinkable apart from Christ. But this changes everything. The cross and the crucifixion enter into the bliss of paradise. The Son of God and the Son of Man descends into hell to free those who suffer there... To conquer evil, the good must crucify itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are not going to be able to operate our Spaceship Earth successfullynor for much longer unless we see it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22060]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are not going to be able to operate our Spaceship Earth successfullynor for much longer unless we see it as a whole spaceship and our fate ascommon.
