Let us call it for once the great defiance which turns us again and again into the enemies of God and of our fellowmen, even of our own selves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A tongue prone to slander is the proof of a depraved mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51578]]></link><description><![CDATA[A tongue prone to slander is the proof of a depraved mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some women blush when they are kissed, some call for the police, some swear, some bite.
