That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I shouldn't have trusted her. It was wrong, I've realized it now.

With them he trapped a Stork that had fractured his leg in the net and was earnestly beseeching the Farmer to spare his life. Pray save me, Master, he said, and let me go free this once. My broken limb should excite your pity. Besides, I am no Crane, I am a Stork, a bird of excellent character; and see how I love and slave for my father and mother. Look too, at my feathers-- they are not the least like those of a Crane.  The Farmer laughed aloud and said, It may be all as you say, I only know this: I have taken you with these robbers, the Cranes, and you must die in their company. Birds of a feather flock together.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is what we were born with.

To have ideas, apercus, is not enough, and it is the overevalutation of such clever but uncontrolled guesses which is apt to produce the ludicrous fallacy of combination, in which fragments of the final theory are collected from widely scattered sources and are combined in such a way as to impugn the originality of him who was the first to see how such a synthesis was possible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our high respect for a well-read man is praise enough of literature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25335]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our high respect for a well-read man is praise enough of literature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I saw him.
