If you can determine what a man thinks you do not have worry about what he will do. If you can make a man believe that he is inferior, you don’t have to compel him to seek an inferior status, he will do so without being told and if you can make a man believe that he is justly an outcast, you don’t have to order him to the back door, he will go to the back door on his own and if there is no back door, the very nature of the man will demand that you build one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pill that the present moment is daily bread to thousands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26697]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pill that the present moment is daily bread to thousands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's armed without that's innocent within. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20958]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's armed without that's innocent within.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive.

She had all sorts of wonderful little idiosyncrasies. She used to fart in her sleep. I thought I’d share that with you. One night it was so loud it woke the dog up. She woke up and went ‘ah was that you?’ And I didn’t have the heart to tell her. Oh!Will: She woke herself up?Sean: Ah...! But Will, she’s been dead for 2 years, and that's the shit I remember: wonderful stuff you know? Little things like that. Those are the things I miss the most. The little idiosyncrasies that only I know about: that's what made her my wife. Oh she had the goods on me too, she knew all my little peccadilloes. People call these things imperfections, but there not. Ah, that's the good stuff.~ Robin Williams as Sean Maguire, Matt Damon as Will Hunting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think a very bad time for the arts.

This is what distinguishes it most vitally from democracy. In a despotism there is no organized opposition which can take over the power when the Administration in office has failed. All the eggs are in one basket. Everything is staked on one coterie of men. When the going is good, they move more quickly and efficiently than democracies, where the opposition has to be persuaded and conciliated. But when they lose, there are no reserves. There are no substitutes on the bench ready to go out on the field and carry the ball. That is why democracies with the habit of party government have outlived all other forms of government in the modern world. They have, as it were, at least two governments always at hand, and when one fails they have the other. They have diversified the risks of mortality, corruption, and stupidity which pervade all human affairs. They have remembered that the most beautifully impressive machine cannot run for very long unless there is available a complete supply of spare parts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The picture that approaches sculpture nearest Is the best picture. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45425]]></link><description><![CDATA[The picture that approaches sculpture nearest Is the best picture.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To the frustrated, freedom from responsibility is more attractive than freedom from restraint.

Strengthen my soul so that the weakening instinct of self-preservation, which besets all of us in battle, shall not blind me to my duty to my own manhood, to the glory of my calling, and to my responsibility to my fellow soldiers. Grant to our armed forces that disciplined valor and mutual confidence which insures success in war. Let me not mourn for the men who have died fighting, but rather let me be glad that such heroes have lived. If it be my lot to die, let me do so with courage and honor in a manner which will bring the greatest harm to the enemy, and please, oh Lord, protect and guide those I shall leave behind.
