There is no other means to safeguard a propitious development of human affairs than to make the masses of inferior people adopt the ideas of the elite. This has to be achieved by convincing them. It cannot be accomplished by a despotic regime that instead of enlightening the masses beats them into submission. In the long run the ideas of the majority, however detrimental they may be, will carry on. The future of mankind depends on the ability of the elite to influence public opinion in the right direction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as long as we live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24503]]></link><description><![CDATA[The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as long as we live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All locations are looking at that possibility.

He insists he had 'legal authority derived from the Constitution and congressional resolution authorizing force.' But the Constitution explicitly requires the president to obey the law. And the post 9/11 congressional resolution authorizing 'all necessary force' in fighting terrorism was made in clear reference to military intervention. It did not scrap the Constitution and allow the president to do whatever he pleased in any area in the name of fighting terrorism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Besides 'tis known he could speak Greek As naturally as pigs squeak;  That Latin was no more difficile  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25119]]></link><description><![CDATA[Besides 'tis known he could speak Greek As naturally as pigs squeak;  That Latin was no more difficile   That to a blackbird 'tis to whistle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25119</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For low-priced, commodity-type products, automation is the most realistic venue as profit margins dictate that companies deploy LTC (linear time ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40712]]></link><description><![CDATA[For low-priced, commodity-type products, automation is the most realistic venue as profit margins dictate that companies deploy LTC (linear time code) options, which are typically voice-automated, Web self-service, or offshore.

There is something more true in his denunciation of idolatry as sin than in our denial that it is possible for a man to worship an idol, or in our suggestion that all idolatry is only a road to spiritual worship of the one true God... One day, I think, we shall return to these stern doctrines, realizing in them a truth more profound than we now know, and then we shall preach them with conviction, and, being convinced ourselves, we shall convince others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most joyful let the Poet be; It is through him that all men see. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46851]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most joyful let the Poet be; It is through him that all men see.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My biggest concern was that we didn't want to lose sight of other financial aid (for students).
