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[The brighter you are, the more you have to learn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27644]]></link><description><![CDATA[The brighter you are, the more you have to learn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm really not the bling king, ...

Philanthropy, as we practice it, is not enough --- although the word philanthropy actually means brotherhood.
