It thus comes about that in practice it is regularly the theoretical collectivist who extols individual reason and demands that all forces of society be made subject to the direction of a single mastermind, while it is the individualist who recognizes the limitations of the powers of individual reason and consequently advocates freedom as a means for the fullest development of the powers of the interindividual process.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perfection irritates as well as it attracts, in fiction as in life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41074]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perfection irritates as well as it attracts, in fiction as in life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41074</guid></item></channel></rss>
