That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've been Skinny; it's fucking boring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61513]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've been Skinny; it's fucking boring.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The popularity comes from the fact that these radio stations play a real broad catalog of music, so they aren't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28904]]></link><description><![CDATA[The popularity comes from the fact that these radio stations play a real broad catalog of music, so they aren't as repetitive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Achievement results from work realizing ambition. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28371]]></link><description><![CDATA[Achievement results from work realizing ambition.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's the rock around which we normally build our innings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42696]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's the rock around which we normally build our innings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To each his suff'rings; all are men, Condemn'd alike to groan;  The tender for another's pain,   Th' ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58198]]></link><description><![CDATA[To each his suff'rings; all are men, Condemn'd alike to groan;  The tender for another's pain,   Th' unfeeling for his own.    Yet ah! why should they know their fate,     Since sorrow never comes too late,      And happiness too swiftly flies?       Thought would destroy their paradise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every time you win, you're reborn; when you lose, you die a little. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35551]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every time you win, you're reborn; when you lose, you die a little.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I look forward to seeing (the festival) with great enthusiasm and with fingers crossed that it can really make a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37244]]></link><description><![CDATA[I look forward to seeing (the festival) with great enthusiasm and with fingers crossed that it can really make a positive difference here by bringing people into a greater awareness that all different kinds of theater can be made and presented here,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37244</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rejection as unhistorical of all passages which narrate miracles is sensible if we start by knowing that the miraculous... ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8532]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rejection as unhistorical of all passages which narrate miracles is sensible if we start by knowing that the miraculous... never occurs. Now, I do not want here to discuss whether the miraculous is possible: I only want to point out that this is a purely philosophical question. Scholars, as scholars, speak on it with no more authority than anyone else. The canon, "If miraculous, unhistorical", is one they bring to their study of the texts, not one they have learned from it. If one is speaking of authority, the united authority of all the Biblical critics in the world counts for nothing. On this they speak simply as men -- men obviously influenced by, and perhaps insufficiently critical of, the spirit of the age they grew up in.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[never let my right hand know what my left hand does. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34583]]></link><description><![CDATA[never let my right hand know what my left hand does.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nose, nose, holly red nose, And who gave thee that jolly red nose?  Nutmegs and ginger, cinammon and cloves; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12988]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nose, nose, holly red nose, And who gave thee that jolly red nose?  Nutmegs and ginger, cinammon and cloves;   And they gave me this jolly red nose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yeah, definitely.
