But it may easily become an absurd tyranny if we regard it worshipfully, as though it were more than a political device. We have lost all sense of its true meaning when we imagine that the opinion of fifty-one per cent is in some high fashion the true opinion of the whole hundred per cent, or indulge in the sophistry that the rule of a majority is based upon the ultimate equality of man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry is itself a thing of God; He made his prophets poets;and the more  We feel of poesie do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46741]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry is itself a thing of God; He made his prophets poets;and the more  We feel of poesie do we become   Like God in love and power,--under-makers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a method in man's wickedness, It grows up by degrees. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61536]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a method in man's wickedness, It grows up by degrees.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art and power will go on as they have done,--will make day out of night, time out of space, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12064]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art and power will go on as they have done,--will make day out of night, time out of space, and space out of time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But the practice began at Maple Creek, and historically we had the greatest number of parents stay overnight at that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39776]]></link><description><![CDATA[But the practice began at Maple Creek, and historically we had the greatest number of parents stay overnight at that school.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had hired coach Frank Nails that season and he asked me to speak at the pep rally.
