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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ajax the great . . . Himself a host. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18260]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ajax the great . . . Himself a host.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Short term memory loss equals long term memory gain ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57887]]></link><description><![CDATA[Short term memory loss equals long term memory gain]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He has grown aged in this world of woe, In deeds, not years, piercing the depths of life.  So ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1725]]></link><description><![CDATA[He has grown aged in this world of woe, In deeds, not years, piercing the depths of life.  So that no wonder waits him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only the educated are free. -Epictetus. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13587]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only the educated are free. -Epictetus.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This isn't right, this isn't even wrong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54874]]></link><description><![CDATA[This isn't right, this isn't even wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have raced against the clock since I went into advertising at the age of eighteen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64943]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have raced against the clock since I went into advertising at the age of eighteen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64943</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best way out is always through. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/532]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best way out is always through.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60042]]></link><description><![CDATA[To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Bernard, Abbot of Clairvaux, Teacher, 1153 Commemoration of William & Catherine Booth, Founders of the Salvation Army, 1912 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7741]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Bernard, Abbot of Clairvaux, Teacher, 1153 Commemoration of William & Catherine Booth, Founders of the Salvation Army, 1912 & 1890  Be careful to be found a wise and faithful servant, and communicate the heavenly to your fellow servants without envy or idleness. Do not take up the vain excuse of your rawness of inexperience which you may imagine or assume. For sterile modesty is never pleasing, not that humility laudable which passes the bounds of reason. Attend to your work; drive out bashfulness by a sense of duty, and act as a master. But I am not sufficient for these things, you say. As if your offering were not accepted from what you have, and not from what you have not. Be prepared to answer for the single talent committed to your charge, and take no thought for the test. For he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Give all, as assuredly you shall pay to the uttermost farthing; but of a truth out of what you have, not what you have not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discord, a sleepless hag who never dies, With Snipe-like nose, and Ferret-glowing eyes,  Lean sallow cheeks, long chin with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12564]]></link><description><![CDATA[Discord, a sleepless hag who never dies, With Snipe-like nose, and Ferret-glowing eyes,  Lean sallow cheeks, long chin with beard supplied,   Poor crackling joints, and wither'd parchment hide,    As if old Drums, worn out with martial din,     Had clubb'd their yellow Heads to form her Skin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That is not good language which all understand not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49787]]></link><description><![CDATA[That is not good language which all understand not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who seeks vengeance must dig two graves: one for his enemy and one for himself ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13814]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who seeks vengeance must dig two graves: one for his enemy and one for himself]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How commentators each dark passage shun, And hold their farthing candle to the sun. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51864]]></link><description><![CDATA[How commentators each dark passage shun, And hold their farthing candle to the sun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm up to my neck in the real world, every day.
