Your actions can always be condemned by someone - for being too bold or too apathetic, for being too conformist or too nonconformist, for being too liberal or too conservative.  So it's necessary to decide whose approval is important to you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest thing in style is to have a command of metaphor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27435]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest thing in style is to have a command of metaphor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing can cover his high fame but Heaven; No pyramids set off his memories,  But the eternal substance of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15091]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing can cover his high fame but Heaven; No pyramids set off his memories,  But the eternal substance of his greatness,--   To which I leave him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's enough to send shivers down your spine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29169]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's enough to send shivers down your spine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Guns ARE evil!

This terrible subject would require a book to itself. Here it will be enough to say that the Heavenly Society is also an earthly society. Our (merely natural) patriotism towards the latter can very easily borrow the transcendent claims of the former and use them to justify the most abominable actions. If ever the book which I am not going to write is written, it must be the full confession by Christendom of Christendom's specific contribution to the sum of human cruelty and treachery. Large areas of "the World" will not hear us till we have publicly disowned much of our past. Why should they? We have shouted the name of Christ and enacted the service of Moloch.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When my daughter was about seven years old, she asked me one day what I did at work.
