The term fast has no meaning apart from the term slow. In addition such terms have no meaning even when used together, except when confined to a very particular situation... most of our language about the organization and objective's of government is made up of such polar terms. Justice and injustice are typical. A reformer who wants to abolish injustice and create a world in which nothing but justice prevails is like a man who wants to make everything up. Such a man might feel that if he took the lowest in the world and carried it up to the highest point and kept on doing this, everything would eventually become up.

It is violence when we use a sharp word, when we make a gesture to brush away a person, when we obey because there is fear. So violence isn't merely organized butchery in the name of God, in the name of society or country. Violence is much more subtle, much deeper, and we are inquiring into the very depths of violence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you aren't playing well, the game isn't as much fun.

That glorious form, that light insufferable,  And that far-beaming blaze majesty, Wherewith he wont at Heaven's high council-table To sit the midst of Trinal Unity He laid aside, and, here with us to be.    Forsook the courts of everlasting day,  And chose with us a darksome house of mortal clay.  Say, Heavenly Muse, shall not thy sacred vein  Afford a present to the Infant God? Hast thou no verse, no hymn, or solemn strain,  To welcome him to this his new abode,  Now while the heaven, by the Sun's team untrod,    Hath took no print of the approaching light,  And all the spangled host keep watch in squadrons bright? See how from far upon the eastern road The star-led wizards haste with odours sweet! Oh, run! present them with thy humble ode, And lay it lowly at his blessed feet; Have thou the honour first thy Lord to greet,    And join thy voice unto the Angel Quire,  From out his secret altar touched with hallowed fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There have been few things in my life which have had a more genial effect on my mind than the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23981]]></link><description><![CDATA[There have been few things in my life which have had a more genial effect on my mind than the possession of a piece of land.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have marked A thousand blushing apparitions  To start into her face, a thousand innocent shames   In ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4390]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have marked A thousand blushing apparitions  To start into her face, a thousand innocent shames   In angel whiteness beat away those blushes,    And in her eye there hath appeared a fire     To burn the errors that these princes hold      Against her maiden truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The principles applied in economic processes are general social principles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15805]]></link><description><![CDATA[The principles applied in economic processes are general social principles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We think the juggernaut will just roll on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31686]]></link><description><![CDATA[We think the juggernaut will just roll on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are confident that we can penetrate any enemy defenses with our missiles.
