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[Striving for success without hard work is like trying to harvest where you haven't planted ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58112]]></link><description><![CDATA[Striving for success without hard work is like trying to harvest where you haven't planted]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never resist temptation, because I have found that things that are bad for me do not tempt me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58912]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never resist temptation, because I have found that things that are bad for me do not tempt me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58912</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Capitalism is our only moral system.

It makes them siblings. Gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood are conditions people have to work at. It's a serious matter. You compromise, you give, you take, you stand firm, and you're relentless...And it is an investment. Sisterhood means if you happen to be in Burma and I happen to be in San Diego and I'm married to someone who is very jealous and you're married to somebody who is very possessive, if you call me in the middle of the night, I have to come.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are that which activates the body. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21167]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are that which activates the body.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time flies like an arrow.Fruit flies like a banana. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20093]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time flies like an arrow.Fruit flies like a banana.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In truth, to attain to interior peace, one must be willing to pass through the contrary to peace.

This is a disastrous illusion. Christians cannot behave as though time were unreal. God gives us time, but not an infinite amount of time. It is His purpose that the Gospel should be preached to all nations, and that all men should be brought into one family in Jesus Christ. His purpose looks to a real End, and therefore requires of us real decisions. If we misconstrue His patience, and think that there is an infinity of time for debate while we perpetuate before the world the scandal of our dismemberment of the Body of Christ, we deceive ourselves. In an issue regarding the doing of the will of God there is no final neutrality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strange, that some of us, with quick alternate vision, see beyond our infatuations, and even while we rave on the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20790]]></link><description><![CDATA[Strange, that some of us, with quick alternate vision, see beyond our infatuations, and even while we rave on the heights, behold the wide plain where our persistent self pauses and awaits us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Last, but by no means least, courage-moral courage, the courage of one's convictions, the courage to see things through.
