But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious.

But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Painting is a source of endless pleasure, but also of great anguish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66094]]></link><description><![CDATA[Painting is a source of endless pleasure, but also of great anguish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes I would almost rather have people take away years of my life than take away a moment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65843]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes I would almost rather have people take away years of my life than take away a moment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The common damn'd shun their society. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58235]]></link><description><![CDATA[The common damn'd shun their society.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis an ill dog that deserves not a crust. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51040]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis an ill dog that deserves not a crust.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alcohol's a big problem which we need to solve and if that means going to primary schools then we've got ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34773]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alcohol's a big problem which we need to solve and if that means going to primary schools then we've got to consider it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No seat is more than eight seats from the stage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35641]]></link><description><![CDATA[No seat is more than eight seats from the stage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But peace does not rest in the charters and covenants alone.
