He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly as necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The throne of another is not stable for thee. [Lat., Alieno in loco  Haud stabile regnum est.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54501]]></link><description><![CDATA[The throne of another is not stable for thee. [Lat., Alieno in loco  Haud stabile regnum est.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How dear to this heart are the scenes of my childhood, When fond recollection presents them to view.  . ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61309]]></link><description><![CDATA[How dear to this heart are the scenes of my childhood, When fond recollection presents them to view.  . . . .   The old oaken bucket, the iron-bound bucket,    The moss-covered bucket, which hung in the well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The achievement of your goal is assured the moment you commit yourself to it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2124]]></link><description><![CDATA[The achievement of your goal is assured the moment you commit yourself to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is your people who make the ultimate difference.
