The old man told him that he worshipped the fire only, and acknowledged no other God. At which answer Abraham grew so zealously angry, that he threw the old man out of his tent, and exposed him to all the evils of the night and an unguarded condition. When the old man was gone, God called to Abraham, and asked him where the stranger was. He replied, "I thrust him away, because he did not worship thee." God answered him, "I have suffered him these hundred years, though he dishonoured me; and wouldst thou not endure him one night?".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christmas is the season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62709]]></link><description><![CDATA[Christmas is the season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be good to others, that will protect you against evil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63862]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be good to others, that will protect you against evil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If anyone tells you that you cannot legislate morality, remeber that legislation IS morality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16650]]></link><description><![CDATA[If anyone tells you that you cannot legislate morality, remeber that legislation IS morality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But owned that smile, if oft observed and near, Waned in its mirth, and wither'd to a sneer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56674]]></link><description><![CDATA[But owned that smile, if oft observed and near, Waned in its mirth, and wither'd to a sneer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love acting.

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[How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51442]]></link><description><![CDATA[How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have to find a language to communicate with the folks who sign our checks to help them understand that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39847]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have to find a language to communicate with the folks who sign our checks to help them understand that they will not be able to build a valuable journalistic brand without good journalism, which is expensive. This creates a chasm between us that admittedly will be very hard to bridge ... Our job is not to give the public what they think they want because what they want changes or is wrong. Look at how it changed after 9/11. Before 9/11 the public was less interested, according to every survey, in Islam or international news. After 9/11, they asked, 'How come you didn't tell us more about Islam and what was going on?' What the public wants is more about Brad and Angelina.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two things scare me. The first is getting hurt.
