Yet this was not God's way, Who had the power,  But set it by, choosing the cross, the thorn,  The sorrowful wounds.

Hence a man’s reaction to monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be ‘debunked;' but watch the faces, mark the accents of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach - men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Eventually, I think Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5868]]></link><description><![CDATA[Eventually, I think Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every compulsion is put upon writers to become safe, polite, obedient, and sterile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62389]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every compulsion is put upon writers to become safe, polite, obedient, and sterile.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science itself, therefore, may be regarded as a minimal problem, consisting of the completest possible presentment of facts with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52090]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science itself, therefore, may be regarded as a minimal problem, consisting of the completest possible presentment of facts with the least possible expenditure of thought.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And she hath smiles to earth unknown-- Smiles that with motion of their own  Do spread, and sink, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56694]]></link><description><![CDATA[And she hath smiles to earth unknown-- Smiles that with motion of their own  Do spread, and sink, and rise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature has color-coded groups of individuals so that statistically reliable predictions of their adaptability to intellectually rewarding and effective lives ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52897]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature has color-coded groups of individuals so that statistically reliable predictions of their adaptability to intellectually rewarding and effective lives can easily be made and profitably be used by the pragmatic man in the street.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The weak can never forgive.
