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[A little rebellion now and then is a good thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53159]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little rebellion now and then is a good thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the first time that we see that a Western woman, a Belgian, marrying a radical Muslim, and is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35846]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the first time that we see that a Western woman, a Belgian, marrying a radical Muslim, and is converted up to the point of becoming a jihad fighter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35846</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When people get married because they think it's a long-time love affair, they'll be divorced very soon, because all love ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12604]]></link><description><![CDATA[When people get married because they think it's a long-time love affair, they'll be divorced very soon, because all love affairs end in disappointment.
