It is the prolonged sacrifice of the rights of some persons at the bidding and for the satisfaction of other persons. The ruling idea of the politician - stated rather bluntly - is that those who are opposed to him exist for the purpose of being made to serve his ends, if he can get power enough in his hands to force these ends upon them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60895]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freedom of conscience entails more dangers than authority and despotism. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14571]]></link><description><![CDATA[Freedom of conscience entails more dangers than authority and despotism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all the judgments we pass in life, none is more important than the judgment we pass on ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52122]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all the judgments we pass in life, none is more important than the judgment we pass on ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The enjoyment of life would be instantly gone if you removed the possibility of doing something. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22042]]></link><description><![CDATA[The enjoyment of life would be instantly gone if you removed the possibility of doing something.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quotes from Mao, Castro, and Che Guevara... are as germane to our highly technological, computerized society as a stagecoach on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4699]]></link><description><![CDATA[Quotes from Mao, Castro, and Che Guevara... are as germane to our highly technological, computerized society as a stagecoach on a jet runway at Kennedy airport.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't anticipate any workforce impact. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37584]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't anticipate any workforce impact.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes I think I'd be better off dead.

But there is a saner sense in which the Bible -- since it is, after all, literature -- cannot properly be read except as literature, and the different parts of it as the different sorts of literature they are. Most emphatically, the Psalms must be read as poems -- as lyrics, with all the licenses and all the formalities, the hyperboles, the emotional rather than logical connections, which are proper to lyric poetry...

All the commerce of life is a perpetual constraint to the laws of good breeding, and the necessity of humoring others; and besides, our own passions are the worst tyrants: if you obey them but by halves, a perpetual strife and contest exists within; and if you entirely give up yourself to them, it is horrid to think to what extremities they will lead. May God preserve us from that fatal slavery, which the mad presumption of man calls liberty! Liberty is to be found only in Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8307</guid></item></channel></rss>
