He sought to exercise no authority over men that was not personal, both in the way it was exercised and in the way in which it was recognized and accepted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humor has been the balm of my life, but it's been reserved for those close to me, not part of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65261]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humor has been the balm of my life, but it's been reserved for those close to me, not part of the public Lana.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is bad to be oppressed by a minority, but it is worse to be oppressed by a majority.
