The duty of following truth at all hazards is not altered, and it is only a false wisdom and prudence which shuns the search. The one chief reason why so much more may be revealed to babes than to the wise and prudent is still simply that, with less calculation and prejudice, they entirely abandon themselves to the leading of truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't believe in evil, I believe only in horror.

The grosser manifestations of these sins -- egotism, exhibitionism, self-promotion -- are strangely tolerated in Christian leaders, even in circles of impeccable orthodoxy. They are so much in evidence as actually, for many people, to become identified with the gospel. I trust it is not a cynical observation to say that they appear these days to be a requisite for popularity in some sections of the Church visible. Promoting self under the guise of promoting Christ is currently so common as to excite little notice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My conscience hath a thousand several tongues, And every tongue brings in a several tale,  And every tale condemns ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51520]]></link><description><![CDATA[My conscience hath a thousand several tongues, And every tongue brings in a several tale,  And every tale condemns me for a villain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who gets the better of an irascible temperament conquers his worst enemy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51608]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who gets the better of an irascible temperament conquers his worst enemy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you stop learning, stop listening, stop looking and asking questions, always new questions, then it is time to die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24564]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you stop learning, stop listening, stop looking and asking questions, always new questions, then it is time to die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only a life lived for others is a life worth while. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24815]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only a life lived for others is a life worth while.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The kings of modern thought are dumb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59193]]></link><description><![CDATA[The kings of modern thought are dumb.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We generate our own environment.
