When we ascribe the success of a movement to its faith, doctrine, propaganda, leadership, ruthlessness and so on, we are but referring to instruments of unification and to means used to inculcate a readiness for self-sacrifice. It is perhaps impossible to understand the nature of a mass movement unless it is recognized that their chief preoccupation is to foster, perfect and perpetuate a facility for united action and self-sacrifice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The superstition was that disability of any sort was the mark of the devil.

The phrases are in languages throughout Europe: the devil's hoof, the devil's horn mark. It reaches back to early Christianity and the middle ages. Where a child was born out of wedlock, the church cooked up the impression that you'd done something sinful, and something dreadful would result. You will still find, particularly in Greece, people doing a little sign when they see a very badly disabled child ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Âœ it needs warding off.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What light is to the eyes - what air is to the lungs - what love is to the heart, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66826]]></link><description><![CDATA[What light is to the eyes - what air is to the lungs - what love is to the heart, liberty is to the soul of man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now good digestion wait on appetite, And health on both! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2904]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now good digestion wait on appetite, And health on both!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody saw anyone being handcuffed.

Every invention was considered impossible. Every discovery was a nervous shock to some orthodoxy. Every artistic innovation was denounced as fraud and folly. The entire web of culture and "progress," everything on earth that is man-made and not given to us by nature, is the concrete manifestation of some man's refusal to bow to Authority. We would own no more, know no more, and be no more than the first apelike hominids if it were not for the rebellious, the recalcitrant, and the intransigent. As Oscar Wilde truly said, "Disobedience was man's Original Virtue."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man is good enough to govern another man without the other's consent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64754]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man is good enough to govern another man without the other's consent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13857]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12255]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boys are sent out into the world to buffet with its temptations, to mingle with bad and good, to govern ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55289]]></link><description><![CDATA[Boys are sent out into the world to buffet with its temptations, to mingle with bad and good, to govern and direct - girls are to dwell in quiet homes among few friends, to exercise a noiseless influence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Communism possesses a language which every people can understand--its elements are hunger, envy, and death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9095]]></link><description><![CDATA[Communism possesses a language which every people can understand--its elements are hunger, envy, and death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He must be very ignorant for he answers every question he is asked ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20371]]></link><description><![CDATA[He must be very ignorant for he answers every question he is asked]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46568]]></link><description><![CDATA[The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I just think that we're capable of so much more; we don't utilize all our capacity like we should. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41473]]></link><description><![CDATA[I just think that we're capable of so much more; we don't utilize all our capacity like we should.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For historians ought to be precise, truthful, and quite unprejudiced, and neither interest nor fear, hatred nor affection, should cause ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19460]]></link><description><![CDATA[For historians ought to be precise, truthful, and quite unprejudiced, and neither interest nor fear, hatred nor affection, should cause them to swerve from the path of truth, whose mother is history, the rival of time, the depository of great actions, the witness of what is past, the example and instruction of the present, the monitor of the future.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A democratic despotism is like a theocracy: it assumes its own correctness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47050]]></link><description><![CDATA[A democratic despotism is like a theocracy: it assumes its own correctness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Censorship reflects a society's lack of confidence in itself.

This terrible subject would require a book to itself. Here it will be enough to say that the Heavenly Society is also an earthly society. Our (merely natural) patriotism towards the latter can very easily borrow the transcendent claims of the former and use them to justify the most abominable actions. If ever the book which I am not going to write is written, it must be the full confession by Christendom of Christendom's specific contribution to the sum of human cruelty and treachery. Large areas of "the World" will not hear us till we have publicly disowned much of our past. Why should they? We have shouted the name of Christ and enacted the service of Moloch.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65631]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To control your cow, give it a bigger pasture. -Suzuki Roshi. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5109]]></link><description><![CDATA[To control your cow, give it a bigger pasture. -Suzuki Roshi.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, what may man within him hide, Though angel on the outward side! -Measure for Measure.
