What other virtue can there be in fifty-one percent except the brute fact that fifty-one is more than forty-nine? The rule of fifty-one per cent is a convenience, it is for certain matters a satisfactory political device, it is for others the lesser of two evils, and for others it is acceptable because we do not know any less troublesome method of obtaining a political decision. 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[It still doesn't account for the way we played interior defense and the way we played interior offense.

But since we are not favored with daily oracles from heaven, and since it is only in the Scriptures that the Lord hath been pleased to preserve His truth in perpetual remembrance, it obtains the same complete credit and authority with believers, when they are satisfied of its divine origin, as if they heard the very words pronounced by God Himself... Let it be considered, then, as an undeniable truth, that they who have been inwardly taught by the Spirit feel an entire acquiescence in the Scripture, and that it is self-authenticated, carrying with it its own evidence, and ought not to be made the subject of demonstration and arguments from reason; but it obtains the credit which it deserves with us by the testimony of the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He [Moliere] pleases every one but can not please himself. [Fr., Il plait a tout le monde et ne saurait ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54723]]></link><description><![CDATA[He [Moliere] pleases every one but can not please himself. [Fr., Il plait a tout le monde et ne saurait se plaire.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conceit is bragging about yourself.
