They do not confer upon majorities unlimited powers. The rights of the majority are limited rights. They are limited not only by the constitutional guarantees but by the moral principle implied in those guarantees. That principle is that men may not use the facilities of liberty to impair them. No man may invoke a right in order to destroy it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[birthday. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4273]]></link><description><![CDATA[birthday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius can probably run on ahead and seek out new ways; but the good artists who follow after genius - ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3369]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genius can probably run on ahead and seek out new ways; but the good artists who follow after genius - and I count myself among these - have to restore the lost connection once more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never frown...even when you're sad you never know when someone is falling in love with your smile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26875]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never frown...even when you're sad you never know when someone is falling in love with your smile.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never used a needle in my life.

The resurrection of the body, on the other. I can't reach the ghost of an image, a formula, or even a feeling, that combines them. But the reality, we are given to understand, does. Reality is the iconoclast once more. Heaven will solve our problems--but not, I think, by showing us subtle reconciliations between all our apparently contradictory notions. The notions will all be knocked from under our feet. We shall see that there never was any problem.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was a time early on in the days of Danni's Hard Drive that we were within the top 10 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32616]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was a time early on in the days of Danni's Hard Drive that we were within the top 10 Web sites in the world,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever you have an efficient government you have a dictatorship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27803]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever you have an efficient government you have a dictatorship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1170  Come down, O Christ, and help me! reach Thy hand ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8484]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1170  Come down, O Christ, and help me! reach Thy hand For I am drowning in a stormier sea Than Simon on the the lake of Galilee: The wine of life is spilt upon the sand, My heart is as some famine-murdered land Whence all good things have perished utterly, And well I know my soul in Hell must lie If I this night before God's throne must stand.
