What other virtue can there be in fifty-one percent except the brute fact that fifty-one is more than forty-nine?

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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is the word used to label the sexual excitement of the young, the habituation of the middle-aged, and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25655]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is the word used to label the sexual excitement of the young, the habituation of the middle-aged, and the mutual dependence of the old.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life treads on life, and heart on heart; We press too close in church and mart  To keep a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12061]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life treads on life, and heart on heart; We press too close in church and mart  To keep a dream or grave apart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is an immeasurable distance between late and too late. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21782]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is an immeasurable distance between late and too late.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scandal is gossip made tedious by morality ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54742]]></link><description><![CDATA[Scandal is gossip made tedious by morality]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's exceedingly intelligent, very sharp, and he's got a great deal of humanity.
