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[And only the Master shall praise us, and only the Master shall blame; And no one shall work for money, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62124]]></link><description><![CDATA[And only the Master shall praise us, and only the Master shall blame; And no one shall work for money, and no one shall work for fame;  But each for the joy of the working, and each, in his separate star,   Shall draw the Thing as he sees It, for the God of Things as They Are!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Show me a woman who doesn't feel guilty, and I'll show you a man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59028]]></link><description><![CDATA[Show me a woman who doesn't feel guilty, and I'll show you a man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not what he had, or even what he does which expresses the worth of a man, but what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36439]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not what he had, or even what he does which expresses the worth of a man, but what he is.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27710]]></link><description><![CDATA[The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a new experience for me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36701]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a new experience for me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a 12-step program.

The prophets were men called by God to serve as His messengers to a stubborn and unheeding people. They were always careful to point out that they were not voicing their own wisdom. Their warnings, entreaties, and promises were always prefaced by the awesome proclamation: "Thus says the Lord..." When the prophets did engage in prognostication, they usually were concerned with events which were fairly close at hand, such as the Assyrian conquest of Israel and the Babylonian conquest of Judah (both of which they foretold with deadly accuracy). But occasionally a prophet's vision ranged farther into the future, to the day when God would enter into a new covenant with his rebellious children. The hope of reconciliation was often linked with the coming of a very particular person, a Messiah or Savior.  What made the prophets so sure that they had a right--nay, a duty, to speak in the name of God? It is clear from their writings that they were not megalomaniacs who confused their own thoughts with the voice of God. On the contrary, they were humble men, awe-stricken by the responsibilities thrust upon them... The prophets minced no words in their indictments of the sins of Israel and Judah, and they trod especially hard on the toes of the rich, the powerful, and the pious. The Establishment responded then as some church members are wont to respond now when a preacher speaks out on controversial public issues: "One should not preach of such things!" (Micah 2:6).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8281</guid></item></channel></rss>
