If they clamor for freedom, it is but freedom to establish equality and uniformity. The passion for equality is partly a passion for anonymity: to be one thread of the many which make up a tunic; one thread not distinguishable from the others. No one can then point us out, measure us against others and expose our inferiority.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I couldn't help but say to [Mr. Gorbachev], just think how easy his task and mine might be in these ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61213]]></link><description><![CDATA[I couldn't help but say to [Mr. Gorbachev], just think how easy his task and mine might be in these meetings that we held if suddenly there was a threat to this world from another planet.

It may fill him with a self-righteousness which rejoices in its own superiority to those who have had no like experience. It may move a man to a Pharisaic self-isolation. There have in fact been not a few so-called conversions as a result of which a man has left the Church to belong to some smaller and holier body. The plain truth is that such a one should very seriously examine himself, if he finds what he regards as his Christian experience separating him from his fellow-men, or his fellow-Christians.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I just missed being out there with all my friends and having fun playing on Friday nights.

The Ass was left in a stable and had plenty of oats and hay to eat, just as any other Ass would. The Lapdog knew many tricks and was a great favorite with his master, who often fondled him and seldom went out to dine without bringing him home some tidbit to eat. The Ass, on the contrary, had much work to do in grinding the corn-mill and in carrying wood from the forest or burdens from the farm. He often lamented his own hard fate and contrasted it with the luxury and idleness of the Lapdog, till at last one day he broke his cords and halter, and galloped into his master's house, kicking up his heels without measure, and frisking and fawning as well as he could. He next tried to jump about his master as he had seen the Lapdog do, but he broke the table and smashed all the dishes upon it to atoms. He then attempted to lick his master, and jumped upon his back. The servants, hearing the strange hubbub and perceiving the danger of their master, quickly relieved him, and drove out the Ass to his stable with kicks and clubs and cuffs. The Ass, as he returned to his stall beaten nearly to death, thus lamented: I have brought it all on myself! Why could I not have been contented to labor with my companions, and not wish to be idle all the day like that useless little Lapdog!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My feeling is that there is nothing in life but refraining from hurting others, and comforting those who are sad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23783]]></link><description><![CDATA[My feeling is that there is nothing in life but refraining from hurting others, and comforting those who are sad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Could I come near your beauty with my nails, I 'd set my ten commandments in your face. -King Henry ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Could I come near your beauty with my nails, I 'd set my ten commandments in your face. -King Henry VI.
