Many grown-ups will obstinately persist, if only now and then, in composing small strings of sentences in their heads and achieving at least momentary logic. This probably cannot be prevented, but we have learned how to minimize the consequences by arranging that such grown-ups will be unable to pursue that logic very far. If they were at home in the technology of writing, there's no telling how much social disorder they would cause by thinking things out at length.Our schools have chosen to cut this danger off as close to the root as possible, thus taking measures to preclude not only the birth of thought but its conception. They give the pill to even the youngest children, but just to be on the safe side, they give it to everybody else, too, especially all would-be schoolteachers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In cold blood he leapt into burning Etna. [Lat., Ardentem frigidus Aetnam insiluit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4856]]></link><description><![CDATA[In cold blood he leapt into burning Etna. [Lat., Ardentem frigidus Aetnam insiluit.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here's a toast to your new bride who has everything a girl could want in her life, except for good ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61501]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here's a toast to your new bride who has everything a girl could want in her life, except for good taste in men!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The players and parents really rallied around him this season. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36894]]></link><description><![CDATA[The players and parents really rallied around him this season.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good humor is one of the best articles of dress one can wear in society. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10021]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good humor is one of the best articles of dress one can wear in society.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So Britain's monarch once uncovered sat, While Bradshaw bullied in a broad-brimmed hat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18882]]></link><description><![CDATA[So Britain's monarch once uncovered sat, While Bradshaw bullied in a broad-brimmed hat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18882</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is not a static thing.
