He may hand down everything else, so long as it is material and not pertaining to his person, for it may be acquired and disposed of as property and may over a series of generations create considerable inequalities in wealth among the mem­bers of the commonwealt. But he may not prevent his sub­ordinates from raising themselves to his own level if they are able and entitled to do so by their talent, industry and good fortune. If this were not so, he would be allowed to practise coercion without himself being subject to coercive counter-measures from others, and would thus be more than their fellow-subject.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whitewash'd wall, the nicely sanded floor, The varnish'd clock that click'd behind the door;  The chest contriv'd a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19622]]></link><description><![CDATA[The whitewash'd wall, the nicely sanded floor, The varnish'd clock that click'd behind the door;  The chest contriv'd a double debt to pay,   A bed by night, a chest of drawers by day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't worry so much about your self- esteem.

The profession of a clergyman is a holy profession, because it is a ministration in holy things, an attendance at the alter.

At shearing time, wishing to take his fleece and to avoid expense, she sheared him herself, but used the shears so unskillfully that with the fleece she sheared the flesh. The Sheep, writhing with pain, said, Why do you hurt me so, Mistress? What weight can my blood add to the wool? If you want my flesh, there is the butcher, who will kill me in an instant; but if you want my fleece and wool, there is the shearer, who will shear and not hurt me. The least outlay is not always the greatest gain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christ beside me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6137]]></link><description><![CDATA[Christ beside me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quite a number of observers have commented on my coolness during various riotous concerts which I performed at during those ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35586]]></link><description><![CDATA[Quite a number of observers have commented on my coolness during various riotous concerts which I performed at during those first tumultuous years of the armistice between World War I and World War II.
