Instead we must adopt the theory that, by their occasional mobilizations as a majority, people support or oppose the individuals who actually govern. We must say that the popular will does not direct continuously but that it intervenes occasionally.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is full of beauty.

It certainly must help us if we recognize that it is the presence of the Holy Spirit which creates a unity which we can never create.If men believe in the existence of this unity, they may begin to desire it, and desiring it to seek for it, and seeking it to find it. If, when they find it, they refuse to deny it, in due time, by ways now unsearchable, they will surely return to external communion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While we continue to see a court monitor as unnecessary and counter productive, we are open to finding ways to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37028]]></link><description><![CDATA[While we continue to see a court monitor as unnecessary and counter productive, we are open to finding ways to work together to better address issues of concern to the community.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The confounding of all right and wrong, in wild fury, has averted from us the gracious favor of the gods. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17743]]></link><description><![CDATA[The confounding of all right and wrong, in wild fury, has averted from us the gracious favor of the gods. [Lat., Omnia fanda, nefanda, malo permista furore,  Justificam nobis mentem avertere deorum.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bad moods become bad days, which become bad weeks, which become bad months and years.
