When asked who he is, his automatic response is that he is a German, a Russian, a Japanese, a Christian, a Moslem, a member of a certain tribe or family. He has no purpose, worth and destiny apart from his collective body; and as long as that body lives he cannot really die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rockefeller once explained the secret of success.
