I say, still whispering at him in this hoarse voice.  "We are teachers and workers," he says, "not talkers."  "Workers, O.K.," I say, "but how can a teacher be quiet all the time and teach anybody anything?"  "Christ was the best," he says, thinking of something. "He lived thirty-three years. Thirty years he kept quiet; three years he talked. Ten to one for keeping quiet.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the mouth of a bad dog fals often a good bone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49550]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the mouth of a bad dog fals often a good bone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whether a man is burdened by power or enjoys power; whether he is trapped by responsibility or made free by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24417]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whether a man is burdened by power or enjoys power; whether he is trapped by responsibility or made free by it; whether he is moved by other people and outer forces or moves them -- this is of the essence of leadership.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a need for accepting responsibility - for a person's life and making choices that are not just ones for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30917]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a need for accepting responsibility - for a person's life and making choices that are not just ones for immediate short-term comfort.

There is no feeble unconcern and indiscriminateness there, and neither is there any excited hatred of the creed, the doctrine, or the Church, which you feel wholly wrong. You have not fled out of the furnace of bigotry to freeze on the open and desolate plains of indifference. You believe and yet you have no wish to persecute.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Guys were in the right spot, my job is to hit them and find them in the right spot.
