It is often the one blot on an otherwise noble character. You know men who are all but perfect, and women who would be entirely perfect, but for an easily ruffled, quick-tempered, or "touchy" disposition. This compatibility of ill temper with high moral character is one of the strangest and saddest problems of ethics... No form of vice -- not worldliness, not greed of gold, not drunkenness itself -- does more to unChristianize society than evil temper. For embittering life, for breaking up communities, for destroying the most sacred relationships, for devastating homes, for withering up men and women, for taking the bloom off of childhood -- in short, for sheer, gratuitous misery-producing power -- this influence stands alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is to be feared lest our long quarrels about the manner of His presence cause the matter of His ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7705]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is to be feared lest our long quarrels about the manner of His presence cause the matter of His absence, for our want of charity to receive Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7705</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mysterious haunts of echoes old and far, The voice divine of human loyalty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13293]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mysterious haunts of echoes old and far, The voice divine of human loyalty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I find sitting at a specially equipped desk in front of some pretty ugly plastics and staring at a little ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9370]]></link><description><![CDATA[I find sitting at a specially equipped desk in front of some pretty ugly plastics and staring at a little window is a very unnatural event.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think I brought it on myself.
