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[And spare the poet for his subject's sake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46856]]></link><description><![CDATA[And spare the poet for his subject's sake.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Certes, they been lye to hounds, for an hound when he cometh by the roses, or by other bushes, though ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52369]]></link><description><![CDATA[Certes, they been lye to hounds, for an hound when he cometh by the roses, or by other bushes, though he may nat pisse, yet wole he heve up his leg and make a countenance to pisse.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58845]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But when ill indeed, E'en dismissing the doctor don't always succeed.   - George Colman ("The Younger"), ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56235]]></link><description><![CDATA[But when ill indeed, E'en dismissing the doctor don't always succeed.   - George Colman ("The Younger"),]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some men demand rough treatment everywhere! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27153]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some men demand rough treatment everywhere!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit. -Kahlil Gibran. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24978]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit. -Kahlil Gibran.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24978</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In idle wishes fools supinely stay; Be there a will,--and wisdom finds a way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48937]]></link><description><![CDATA[In idle wishes fools supinely stay; Be there a will,--and wisdom finds a way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody ever invented a polite word for a killing yet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23715]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody ever invented a polite word for a killing yet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money isn't everything… but it ranks right up there with oxygen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15850]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money isn't everything… but it ranks right up there with oxygen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9373]]></link><description><![CDATA[Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am closing my 52 years of military service.

When I joined the army, even before the turn of the century, it was the fulfillment of all my boyish hopes and dreams. The world has turned over many times since I took the oath on the plain at West Point, and the hopes and dreams have long since vanished, but I still remember the refrain of one of the most barracks ballads of that day which proclaimed most proudly that old soldiers never die; they just fade away.  And like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty.
