There is no other means to safeguard a propitious development of human affairs than to make the masses of inferior people adopt the ideas of the elite. This has to be achieved by convincing them. It cannot be accomplished by a despotic regime that instead of enlightening the masses beats them into submission. In the long run the ideas of the majority, however detrimental they may be, will carry on. The future of mankind depends on the ability of the elite to influence public opinion in the right direction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you've walked up the Rue la Paix at Paris, Been to the Louvre and the Tuileries,  And to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45538]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you've walked up the Rue la Paix at Paris, Been to the Louvre and the Tuileries,  And to Versailles, although to go so far is   A thing not quite consistent with your ease,    And--but the mass of objects quite a bar is     To my describing what the traveller sees.      You who have ever been to Paris, know;       And you who have not been to Paris--go!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any combination of alcohol and gasoline is very unforgiving of water. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33797]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any combination of alcohol and gasoline is very unforgiving of water.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You give but little when you give of your possessions.
