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[This technique requires both sides of your brain -- analytical and creative. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39266]]></link><description><![CDATA[This technique requires both sides of your brain -- analytical and creative.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greater the truth the greater the libel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2074]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greater the truth the greater the libel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a true genius appears in this world you may know him by the sign that the dunces are all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17347]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a true genius appears in this world you may know him by the sign that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a country well governed poverty is something to be ashamed of.

It was slow in operation, being little aided by invention or imagination, but sure in conclusion.... Perhaps the strongest feature in his character was prudence, never acting until every circumstance, every consideration, was maturely weighed; refraining if he saw doubt, but, when once decided, going through his purpose, whatever obstacles opposed. His integrity was the most pure, his justice the most inflexible I have ever known.... He was, indeed, in every sense of the words, a wise, a good and a great man ... On the whole, his character was, in its mass, perfect ... it may truly be said, that never did nature and fortune combine more perfectly to make a man great....]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If someone is experiencing blackouts, it is a good indication that they are drinking too much.

The Christian is not a homo religiosus but a man, pure and simple, just as Jesus became man... It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to believe. One must abandon every attempt to make something of oneself, whether it be a saint, a converted sinner, a churchman, a righteous man, or an unrighteous one, a sick man or a healthy one... This is what I mean by worldliness -- taking life in one's stride, with all its duties and problems, its successes and failures, its experiences and helplessness... How can success make us arrogant or failure lead us astray, when we participate in the sufferings of God by living in this world?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom is knowing what to do next; virtue is doing it. -David Star Jordan. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55233]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom is knowing what to do next; virtue is doing it. -David Star Jordan.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fish which has once felt the hook, suspects the crooked metal in every food which offers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50769]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fish which has once felt the hook, suspects the crooked metal in every food which offers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The star of the unconquered will, He rises in my breast,  Serene, and resolute, and still,   And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61599]]></link><description><![CDATA[The star of the unconquered will, He rises in my breast,  Serene, and resolute, and still,   And calm, and self-possessed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61599</guid></item></channel></rss>
