You do get into situations where you think, 'What should I do? Shouldn't I intervene? Shouldn't I do something?' I think if you get to that point you have to make a decision. I've said to people, if you feel it's wrong just being a reporter and you can't do enough, well it's time to become an aid worker and train to be someone who really knows what to do.

He may hand down everything else, so long as it is material and not pertaining to his person, for it may be acquired and disposed of as property and may over a series of generations create considerable inequalities in wealth among the mem­bers of the commonwealt. But he may not prevent his sub­ordinates from raising themselves to his own level if they are able and entitled to do so by their talent, industry and good fortune. If this were not so, he would be allowed to practise coercion without himself being subject to coercive counter-measures from others, and would thus be more than their fellow-subject.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I die I want to decompose in a barrel of porter and have it served in all the pubs ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11287]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I die I want to decompose in a barrel of porter and have it served in all the pubs in Dublin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Initial reports are that the Saturn failed to stop at a stop sign or just didn't see the truck coming ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30443]]></link><description><![CDATA[Initial reports are that the Saturn failed to stop at a stop sign or just didn't see the truck coming and pulled out in front of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11757]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd be under the nearest table the second I felt the first shudder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30384]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd be under the nearest table the second I felt the first shudder.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Aspiration sees only one side of every question; possession, many. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47771]]></link><description><![CDATA[Aspiration sees only one side of every question; possession, many.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only in the case of the Negro has the melting pot failed to bring a minority into the full stream ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1692]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only in the case of the Negro has the melting pot failed to bring a minority into the full stream of American life]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O joy! that in our embers Is something that doth live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16027]]></link><description><![CDATA[O joy! that in our embers Is something that doth live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each handicap is like a hurdle in a steeplechase, and when you ride up to it, if you throw your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12354]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each handicap is like a hurdle in a steeplechase, and when you ride up to it, if you throw your heart over, the horse will go along, too.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I didn't even know about it until I saw it in the paper. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42369]]></link><description><![CDATA[I didn't even know about it until I saw it in the paper.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without thee I am all unblessed, And wholly blessed in thee alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61864]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without thee I am all unblessed, And wholly blessed in thee alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1012   The centre of trouble is not the turbulent appetites -- ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6377]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1012   The centre of trouble is not the turbulent appetites -- though they are troublesome enough.
