The practical organization offers opportunities for self-advancement, and its appeal is mainly to self-interest. On the other hand, a mass movement, particularly in its active, revivalist phase, appeals not to those intent on bolstering and advancing a cherished self, but to those who crave to be rid of an unwanted self. A mass movement attracts and holds a following not because it can satisfy the desire for self-advancement, but because it can satisfy the passion for self-renunciation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ring out ye crystal spheres! Once bless our human ears,  If ye have power to touch our senses so; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8641]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ring out ye crystal spheres! Once bless our human ears,  If ye have power to touch our senses so;   And let your silver chime    Move in melodious time,     And let the bass of Heaven's deep organ blow;      And with your ninefold harmony       Make up full consort to the angelic symphony.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24969]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Age ... is a matter of feeling, not of years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1828]]></link><description><![CDATA[Age ... is a matter of feeling, not of years.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I’ve concluded that genius is as common as dirt.
