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[There's a certain amount of sympathy here for the Bush administration's problem, which is they would like to get rid ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40672]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a certain amount of sympathy here for the Bush administration's problem, which is they would like to get rid of Saddam Hussein and they would like to have the Kurds autonomous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Their wants but few, their wishes all confin'd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9946]]></link><description><![CDATA[Their wants but few, their wishes all confin'd.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm slowly becoming a convert to the principle that you can't motivate people to do things, you can only demotivate ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26288]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm slowly becoming a convert to the principle that you can't motivate people to do things, you can only demotivate them.

Those words have been interpreted as though they described the Law as a preparatory education, continued at a higher stage by Christ. That, however, is not quite what Paul meant. The "pedagogue" in Greek society was not a schoolmaster, he did not give lessons. He was a slave who accompanied a boy to school, and both waited upon him and exercised a supervision which interfered with the boy's freedom of action. He is, in fact, a figure in the little allegory which Paul gives us to illustrate the position of the People of God before Christ came. There was a boy left heir to a great estate. He was a minor, and so must have guardians and trustees. He was as helpless in their hands as if he had been a slave. He must live on the allowance they gave him, and follow their wishes from day to day. They gave him a "pedagogue" to keep him out of mischief. He could not please himself, or realize his own purposes and ambitions. Yet all the time he was the heir; the estate was his, and no one else's. Just so the People of God, the Divine Commonwealth, was cramped and fettered by ignorance and evil times. It remained in uneasy expectation of one day coming into active existence. At last the heir came of age: guardians and trustees abdicated their powers, and the grown man possessed in full realization all that was his. So now the fettered life of the Divine Commonwealth bursts its bonds and comes into active existence... The intervention of law was not a reversal of God's original and eternal purpose of pure love and grace towards men, it only subserved that purpose, while it seemed to contradict it, just as the presence of the "pedagogus" might seem to the high-spirited young heir quite contrary to the rights secured to him by his father's will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wise weigh their words on a scale with gold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4710]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wise weigh their words on a scale with gold.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gaither came in ranked nationally so we came out here tonight like we had nothing to lose.
