It is not some crack in an otherwise flawless stone. It is, quite spectacularly I think, art which is not based on the subjugation of one half of the species. It is art which will take the great human themes --love, death, heroism, suffering, history itself --and render them fully human. It may also, though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme, one as great and as rich as those others --should we call it "joy"?.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not think that winning is the most important thing.

At the beginning of the 21st century, we are at a peak of human power, wealth and information... We need to look back at our wonderful natural and human heritage, and cherish and protect the abundant values to be found there. We need to look out to the sides and see other parts of the world that need our help and can provide good ideas to go forward... We need to look ahead to be certain that our actions of today will make the world a better and richer and more varied place for our grandchildren and their grandchildren.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man needs, for his happiness, not only the enjoyment of this or that, but hope and enterprise and change. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19802]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man needs, for his happiness, not only the enjoyment of this or that, but hope and enterprise and change.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants.

He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly as necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No people in history have ever survived who thought they could protect their freedom by making themselves inoffensive to their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33282]]></link><description><![CDATA[No people in history have ever survived who thought they could protect their freedom by making themselves inoffensive to their enemies]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't let the learning from your own experiences take too long.

The Hare, believing her assertion to be simply impossible, assented to the proposal; and they agreed that the Fox should choose the course and fix the goal. On the day appointed for the race the two started together. The Tortoise never for a moment stopped, but went on with a slow but steady pace straight to the end of the course. The Hare, lying down by the wayside, fell fast asleep. At last waking up, and moving as fast as he could, he saw the Tortoise had reached the goal, and was comfortably dozing after her fatigue. Slow but steady wins the race.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd wipe the machines off the face of the earth again, and end the industrial epoch absolutely, like a black ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9434]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd wipe the machines off the face of the earth again, and end the industrial epoch absolutely, like a black mistake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opera stars know that biology is destiny.
