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[God heals and the doctor takes the fee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26749]]></link><description><![CDATA[God heals and the doctor takes the fee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Since grief only aggravates your loss, grieve not for what is past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19064]]></link><description><![CDATA[Since grief only aggravates your loss, grieve not for what is past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sin bravely...We will never have all the facts to make a perfect judgement, but with the aid of basic experience ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14716]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sin bravely...We will never have all the facts to make a perfect judgement, but with the aid of basic experience we must leap bravely into the future.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is the best sailor who can steer within fewest points of the wind, and exact a motive power out ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/91]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is the best sailor who can steer within fewest points of the wind, and exact a motive power out of the greatest obstacles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/91</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Revolution is not a dinner party. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54147]]></link><description><![CDATA[Revolution is not a dinner party.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anybody can direct a picture once they know the fundamentals.
