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[The Graces, three erewhile, are three no more; A fourth is come with perfume sprinkled o'er.  'Tis Berenice blest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17741]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Graces, three erewhile, are three no more; A fourth is come with perfume sprinkled o'er.  'Tis Berenice blest and fair; were she   Away the Graces would no Graces be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On any other night, giving up 41 points is not a bad defensive effort, but when you only score 33 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31958]]></link><description><![CDATA[On any other night, giving up 41 points is not a bad defensive effort, but when you only score 33 it's a moot point.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every noble crown is, and on Earth will forever be, a crown of thorns. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54455]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every noble crown is, and on Earth will forever be, a crown of thorns.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're a controversial band, so big that everyone wants to hate us.

Our model is the Jesus, not only of Calvary, but of the workshop, the roads, the crowds, the clamorous demands and surly oppositions, the lack of all peace and privacy, the interruptions.

As he was wandering about there he came upon aLion lying down moaning and groaning. At first he turned to flee,but finding that the Lion did not pursue him, he turned back andwent up to him. As he came near, the Lion put out his paw, whichwas all swollen and bleeding, and Androcles found that a hugethorn had got into it, and was causing all the pain. He pulledout the thorn and bound up the paw of the Lion, who was soon ableto rise and lick the hand of Androcles like a dog. Then the Liontook Androcles to his cave, and every day used to bring him meatfrom which to live. But shortly afterwards both Androcles and theLion were captured, and the slave was sentenced to be thrown tothe Lion, after the latter had been kept without food for severaldays. The Emperor and all his Court came to see the spectacle,and Androcles was led out into the middle of the arena. Soon theLion was let loose from his den, and rushed bounding and roaringtowards his victim. But as soon as he came near to Androcles herecognised his friend, and fawned upon him, and licked his handslike a friendly dog. The Emperor, surprised at this, summonedAndrocles to him, who told him the whole story. Whereupon theslave was pardoned and freed, and the Lion let loose to his nativeforest.Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was pleased that we came out ready to play.
