Principles invite us to clean up our act; to become intolerant of moral laxity and compromise and cowardice and the turning away from what is upsetting: that secret gnawing of the heart that tells us that what we are doing is not right, and so counsels us that we'd be better off just not thinking about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are faults we would fain pardon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50359]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are faults we would fain pardon.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50359</guid></item></channel></rss>
