He must cease to be George, Hans, Ivan or Tadao- a human atom with an existence bounded by birth and death. The most drastic way to achieve this end is by complete assimilation of the individual into a collective body. The fully assimilated individual does not see himself and others as human beings. When asked who he is, his automatic response is that he is a German, a Russian, a Japanese, a Christian, a Moslem, a member of a certain tribe or family. He has no purpose, worth and destiny apart from his collective body; and as long as that body lives he cannot really die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[English literature is a kind of training in social ethics.

I do not pretend to understand the ways of God any more than the next man; but it is surely more fitting as well as more sensible for us to study what God does do and what He does not do as He works in and through the complex fabric of this disintegrated world, than to postulate what we think God ought to do and then feel demoralized and bitterly disappointed because He fails to fulfil what we expect of Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A story, in which native humour reigns, Is often useful, always entertains;  A graver fact, enlisted on your side, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57914]]></link><description><![CDATA[A story, in which native humour reigns, Is often useful, always entertains;  A graver fact, enlisted on your side,   May furnish illustration, well applied;    But sedentary weavers of long tales     Give me the fidgets, and my patience fails.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is virtue a thing remote?

You put some of the virus of some dreadful illness into a man's arm, and there is a little itchiness, some scratchiness, a slight discomfort--disagreeable, no doubt, but not the fever of the real disease, the turning and the tossing, and the ebbing strength. And we have all been inoculated with Christianity, more or less. We are on Christ's side, we wish him well, we hope that He will win, and we are even prepared to do something for Him, provided, of course, that He is reasonable, and does not make too much of an upset among our cozy comforts and our customary ways. But there is not the passion of zeal, and the burning enthusiasm, and the eagerness of self-sacrifice, of the real faith that changes character and wins the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art at its most significant is a Distant Early Warning System that can always be relied on to tell the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3200]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art at its most significant is a Distant Early Warning System that can always be relied on to tell the old culture what is beginning to happen to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know that anyone is going to be bringing Bush into the state. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31218]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't know that anyone is going to be bringing Bush into the state.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience is not simply the ability to wait - it's how we behave while we're waiting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66502]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience is not simply the ability to wait - it's how we behave while we're waiting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When workmen strive to do better than well, They do confound their skill in covetousness,  And oftentimes excusing of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10463]]></link><description><![CDATA[When workmen strive to do better than well, They do confound their skill in covetousness,  And oftentimes excusing of a fault   Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse,    As patches set upon a little breach     Discredit more in hiding of the fault      Than did the fault before it was so patched.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One solid dish his week-day meal affords, An added pudding solemniz'd the Lord's. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13250]]></link><description><![CDATA[One solid dish his week-day meal affords, An added pudding solemniz'd the Lord's.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That is a good book which is opened with expectation and closed with profit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4526]]></link><description><![CDATA[That is a good book which is opened with expectation and closed with profit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The biggest things are often the easiest to do because there is so little competition. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57489]]></link><description><![CDATA[The biggest things are often the easiest to do because there is so little competition.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not confused, I'm just well mixed ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9745]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm not confused, I'm just well mixed]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Her inertia did not sit well with some in her immediate circle.
