What other virtue can there be in fifty-one percent except the brute fact that fifty-one is more than forty-nine? The rule of fifty-one per cent is a convenience, it is for certain matters a satisfactory political device, it is for others the lesser of two evils, and for others it is acceptable because we do not know any less troublesome method of obtaining a political decision. But it may easily become an absurd tyranny if we regard it worshipfully, as though it were more than a political device. We have lost all sense of its true meaning when we imagine that the opinion of fifty-one per cent is in some high fashion the true opinion of the whole hundred per cent, or indulge in the sophistry that the rule of a majority is based upon the ultimate equality of man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our country's honor calls upon us for a vigorous and manly exertion; and if we now shamefully fail, we shall ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60278]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our country's honor calls upon us for a vigorous and manly exertion; and if we now shamefully fail, we shall become infamous to the whole world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5120]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The winds grow high; Impending tempests charge the sky;  The lightning flies, the thunder roars;   And big ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57901]]></link><description><![CDATA[The winds grow high; Impending tempests charge the sky;  The lightning flies, the thunder roars;   And big waves lash the frightened shores.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One way to keep momentum going is to have constantly greater goals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46300]]></link><description><![CDATA[One way to keep momentum going is to have constantly greater goals.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only tyrant I accept in this world is the 'still small voice' within me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11647]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only tyrant I accept in this world is the 'still small voice' within me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even if the whole earth and sea were turned to gold, they could hardly satisfy the avarice of a woman... ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64395]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even if the whole earth and sea were turned to gold, they could hardly satisfy the avarice of a woman...

Tell Him your troubles, that He may comfort you; tell Him your joys, that He may sober them; tell Him your longings, that He may purify them; tell Him your dislikes, that He may help you conquer them; talk to Him of your temptations, that He may shield you from them: show Him the wounds of your heart, that He may heal them; lay bare your indifference to good, your depraved tastes for evil, your instability. Tell Him how self-love makes you unjust to others, how vanity tempts you to be insincere, how pride disguises you to yourself and others.  If you thus pour out all your weaknesses, needs, troubles, there will be no lack of what to say. You will never exhaust the subject. It is continually being renewed. People who have no secrets from each other never want for subjects of conversation. They do not weigh their words, for there is nothing to be held back; neither do they seek for something to say. They talk out of the abundance of the heart, without consideration they say just what they think. Blessed are they who attain to such familiar, unreserved intercourse with God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They say that man is mighty, He governs land and sea,  He wields a mighty scepter   O'er ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43217]]></link><description><![CDATA[They say that man is mighty, He governs land and sea,  He wields a mighty scepter   O'er lesser powers that be;    But a mightier power and stronger     Man from his throne has hurled,      For the hand that rocks the cradle       Is the hand that rules the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The conviction of having committed a fault is its first and greatest punishment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51189]]></link><description><![CDATA[The conviction of having committed a fault is its first and greatest punishment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman uses her intelligence to find reasons to support her intuition. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64300]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman uses her intelligence to find reasons to support her intuition.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conceit is an insuperable obstacle to all progress. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9619]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conceit is an insuperable obstacle to all progress.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hate flowers -- I paint them because they're cheaper than models and they don't move. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16279]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hate flowers -- I paint them because they're cheaper than models and they don't move.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We think that the new draft document is balanced and mentions the rights of North Korea to peaceful nuclear technology ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28842]]></link><description><![CDATA[We think that the new draft document is balanced and mentions the rights of North Korea to peaceful nuclear technology and the possibility of building a light water reactor in due time in the future,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While we continue to see a court monitor as unnecessary and counter productive, we are open to finding ways to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37028]]></link><description><![CDATA[While we continue to see a court monitor as unnecessary and counter productive, we are open to finding ways to work together to better address issues of concern to the community.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've never known any human being, high or humble, who ever regretted, when nearing life's end, having done kindly deeds. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23796]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've never known any human being, high or humble, who ever regretted, when nearing life's end, having done kindly deeds.
