If you have to do with one who is unquestionably a slanderer, do not excuse him by calling him frank and free-spoken; do not call one who is notoriously vain, liberal and elegant; do not call dangerous levities mere simplicity; do not screen disobedience under the name of zeal; or arrogance, of frankness; or evil intimacy, of friendship. No, my friends, we must never, in our wish to shun slander, foster or flatter vice in others: but we must call evil evil, and sin sin, and so doing we shall serve God's glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are obligations to nobility. [Lat., Noblesse oblige.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44579]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are obligations to nobility. [Lat., Noblesse oblige.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tooth-ach is more ease then to deale with ill people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49925]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tooth-ach is more ease then to deale with ill people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I crave hungrily to be used to show the way of liberty to a soul in bondage, instead of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7958]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I crave hungrily to be used to show the way of liberty to a soul in bondage, instead of caring only that it be delivered; if I nurse my disappointment when I fail, instead of asking that another the word of release may be given, then I know nothing of Calvary love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I often quote myself.
