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[I have long been of the opinion that if work were such a splendid thing the rich would have kept ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22208]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have long been of the opinion that if work were such a splendid thing the rich would have kept more of it for themselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spanish citizens must be consulted before Congress takes irreversible steps. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29314]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spanish citizens must be consulted before Congress takes irreversible steps.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a business you go into because your an egocentric.
