Being in the minority, he has no other choice. Failing this duty, he sinks into oblivion. Society, on the other hand, has no obligation toward the poet. A majority by definition, society thinks of itself as having other options than reading verses, no matter how well written.

This is society's own equivalent of oblivion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Use what talents you possess; The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14436]]></link><description><![CDATA[Use what talents you possess; The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those, that with haste will make a mighty fire, Begin it with weak straws. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51284]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those, that with haste will make a mighty fire, Begin it with weak straws.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Iron sharpen iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16754]]></link><description><![CDATA[Iron sharpen iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a jerk burns the flag, America is not threatened, democracy is not under siege, freedom is not at risk ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35302]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a jerk burns the flag, America is not threatened, democracy is not under siege, freedom is not at risk]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time is the fire in which we burn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27694]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time is the fire in which we burn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It seems safe to say that significant discovery, really creative thinking, does not occur with regard to problems about which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10568]]></link><description><![CDATA[It seems safe to say that significant discovery, really creative thinking, does not occur with regard to problems about which the thinker is lukewarm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're looking forward to the next step in the process, and it's a process that will go on over a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38241]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're looking forward to the next step in the process, and it's a process that will go on over a period of months.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't like the weather in New England, just wait a few minutes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61487]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't like the weather in New England, just wait a few minutes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's out there.
