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[Ofttimes the test of courage becomes rather to live than to die. [It., Spesso e da forte,  Piu che ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24828]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ofttimes the test of courage becomes rather to live than to die. [It., Spesso e da forte,  Piu che il morire, il vivere.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman either loves or hates. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51580]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman either loves or hates.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who thinks anything of goitre on the Alps? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50534]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who thinks anything of goitre on the Alps?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's no longer a warmth hidden in my veins: it's Venus entire and whole fastening on her prey. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44808]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's no longer a warmth hidden in my veins: it's Venus entire and whole fastening on her prey.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the people were a little more ignorant, astrology would flourish - if a little more enlightened, religion would perish ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3388]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the people were a little more ignorant, astrology would flourish - if a little more enlightened, religion would perish]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is counted sweetest by those who never succeed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66462]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is counted sweetest by those who never succeed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the government does not help us, we are ready to take up arms, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36725]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the government does not help us, we are ready to take up arms,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you greatly desire something, have the guts to stake everything on obtaining it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11946]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you greatly desire something, have the guts to stake everything on obtaining it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53738]]></link><description><![CDATA[Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've seen it on every line, on almost every train. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29236]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've seen it on every line, on almost every train.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thought once awakened does not again slumber. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59206]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thought once awakened does not again slumber.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then indecision brings its own delays,And days are lost lamenting o'er lost days.Are you in earnest?

For to be vain, or proud, or covetous, or ambitious, in the common course of our business, is as contrary to these holy tempers of Christianity as cheating and dishonesty. If a glutton were to say, in excuse of his gluttony, that he only eats such things as it is lawful to eat, he would make as good an excuse for himself as the greedy, covetous, ambitious tradesman that would say that he only deals in lawful business. For, as a Christian is not only required to be honest, but to be of a Christian spirit, and make his life an exercise of humility, repentance, and heavenly affection, so all tempers that are contrary to these are as contrary to Christianity as cheating is contrary to honesty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's nothing makes me so much grieve, As that abominable tittle-tattle,  Which is the cud eschew'd by human cattle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48769]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's nothing makes me so much grieve, As that abominable tittle-tattle,  Which is the cud eschew'd by human cattle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Mason Neale, Priest, Poet, 1866  I clearly recognize that all good is in God alone, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7188]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Mason Neale, Priest, Poet, 1866  I clearly recognize that all good is in God alone, and that in me, without Divine Grace, there is nothing but deficiency...
